Just Theorizing.

We all know that politicians bend the truth a little bit to get their point across but sometimes they may go a bit too far and to me this is a case of one ex-politician trying to stir things up and getting caught doing so. At a website here in Cambridge a former city Councillor and unsuccessful Mayoral  candidate linda Whetham made a statement
"The Province is not giving Funding for the Drayton Theatre, so now where will Drayton get the 6 million from?"

So, she comes out and Say's that the Drayton theatre project will not get the government money that it was promised, did she score a coup on the facts and set the mayors plan back?  Nope, she was lying and was caught at it by another commenter at that site,"Linda! What? Has that been announced (and I missed it) or are you theorizing?"  well guess what? She was theorising and had to admit it even though she say's it was a joke.
"I like that word, and yes I am just theorizing…..I was jesting in post #7 and I have had 4 phone calls already…I am learning how to get people’s attention…"  pretty poor attempt at a jest I do believe. So Linda has admitted to not telling the truth to get peoples attention, very sad indeed but I guess if you want to be a politician, you must learn to lie and lie boldly, Ms.Whetham, you have sunk below your competition on this and again it will come back to haunt you.

Careful whom you Diss

Is it okay to hate the Fireman and policeman in your town? Do you think that they should be scorned? Well one former Candidate for city council in Cambridge seems to think that they are overpaid and underworked. Tom Vann ran for council in the last election and was defeated but that has not stopped him from keeping his name out there with some silly actions and words. First he and Debbie Vitez sued the city claiming that the election was illegal and should be re-done, they lost that but still insist that even the Judge in their case was rigging it. But that has not stopped Mr.Vann from attacking our police and Fireman on a local website called the Cambridge Advocate.  Here are some examples of his handiwork.

"Then we have the hard done by firemen that are well respected as well for their work but want to be paid like the firemen in Toronto.Well, move there then boys.lt’s not like your on the go while at work for a full shift, just save your energy for your business or other jobs. You’re like insurance, not important till needed." That is from February of 2011, pretty classy right? You're not important till needed? But it didn't stop there and again yesterday, he was at it again.

Getting into a peeing match with a fire deptment worker is fun. Yes we all know they deserve the please don’t quit your excellent paying job retention pay of $3,000.00 + a year bonus, on top of the 3% + increase each year along with the 4 or whatever proposed days to show up to work a MONTH they soon will be doing to earn that $100,000.00 a year job. Seeing as how they are fighting fires 24-7 in this town and risking their lives everyday like our soldiers do (which by the way don’t get the please don’t quit bonus for risking their lives). Hey the Police are the same. 

I think he needs help on the satire end of things, but who does he think he is anyway attacking the local police and fire departments? All I know is i have no respect for him and his ilk and if he does decide to run for office again these statement will come back to haunt him.

It is a beautiful city that not unlike others in our country has its good side and it's bad side but I would not want to live anywhere else. This blog will be my personal opinion on every aspect of our day to day lives and will cover Cambridge as well as the world at large. I don't pull punches and i tell it like it is. Feel free to lash back at me, i am a big boy and I can take it. Now on with the show.
