It's getting tiresome.
Your constant apologies got tiresome long ago.
It's getting tiresome.
She is one of the most important cultural institutions in Canada, and she lives in the city Doug Ford represents. This isn't any different than Ford dissing the ROM or the symphony.
That is obviously not true -- just look at all the articles and postings on this issue.
Being familiar with the important cultural touchstones related to the city has a lot to do with running it.
I certainly would have been appalled if Miller said he didn't know who she was, especially if the implication was he didn't care who she was.
No way would the same backlash have ocured if Miller didn't know who she was. It wouldn't have happened.
You guys would have given him a pass.
Why aren't all councilors being tested on cultural knowledge of this city and then being shamed and damned when they admit ignorance as in case of the Fords?

You guys would have given him a pass. People are using Doug Ford's not knowing who Atwood was as ammo to smear him and are scrapping the bottom looking for anything to stick to the Fords including this allegation claimed by the woman driver. The Ford haters are looking for anything to justify personal attacks and smear campaigns. It's that simple. And if not?
Why then aren't all councilors being tested on cultural knowledge of this city and then being shamed and damned when they admit ignorance as in case of the Fords?
It wouldn't have happened because it was never a possibility. And that's the point. Your posts read more as anti-intellectualism than genuine concern about smear.No way would the same backlash have ocured if Miller didn't know who she was. It wouldn't have happened.
They absolutely should be, and often are. They are our representatives, for crying out loud. But they're less widely recognized than the mayor, and receive less coverage. Again: we should be pressing the councillors who support the Fords. Grassroots action. Attacking the Fords directly is a waste of time.Why then aren't all councilors being tested on cultural knowledge of this city and then being shamed and damned when they admit ignorance as in case of the Fords?

Yes, it absolutely does. They're loathed in large part because they represent anti-intellectualism.It has nothing to do with being anti-intellectual. It's everything to do with looking for every possible tidbit that can be used against the Fords because they're loathed.
No. People are lying through their teeth when they say the same treatment would have been applied to other councilors as in the case of Ford and his brother.
It has nothing to do with being anti-intellectual. It's everything to do with looking for every possible tidbit that can be used against the Fords because they're loathed. This is all personal. It's about certain people hating the Fords and using every means at their disposal including personal attacks. The haters are scrapping the bottom looking for anything to attack with.
This latest example is about the those that lost at city hall and their supporters trying to up the ante in their never ending tantrums because they're sore losers.
