IMMATURE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY, PRO AGGREGATE POLICY & ANTI - O'TOOLE SELF IMMOLATION

Yes I'm referring to the article in today's Waterloo Region Record describing the Angie Rivers ongoing police hearing. Geez the male superviser was insulted because he heard rumours about his female subordinate's sexual activities and they didn't include him. Are we talking about high school or are we talking about an allegedly professional police force here? Sometimes it's really difficult to know one way or the other. What a damning indictment about police culture and police immaturity. Not to mention leadership! Who the hell is running the show, the rank and file or the senior management team? I know that the Canadian military has similar problems as likely do most male dominated professions including public works departments etc. What an indictment of the males behaving badly AND the males supposedly in charge. ............................................................................................................................ Changing stride we have another article in today's Record by Paige Desmond about the proposed Hallman Pit. A Wilmot councillor is basically saying that municipal councils have become rubber stamps in that they are expected to approve zone changes because the province is so pro new gravel pits and pro the aggregate industry. .......................................................................................................................................... And finally we have the Conservative Party caucus in Ottawa turfing yet another party leader. Wow! This one lasted all of seventeen months before his likely very practical and appropriate vision got him the boot. Geez I'm no Conservative but come on guys I don't see how blowing up the party (again) is going to provide the very needed opposition to Justin T. and friends.
