The point of Ford declaring an emergency was to allow provincial staff to release extra resources immediately without any further political involvement. Given that Ford refused though, Wynn stepped in to authorize the release of the resources.
There has been no emergency declared.

That's what JLM will do. He has defended Ford in the past and simply can't admit he was wrong. Some of the others quit posting on the matter in order to avoid embarrassment. While JLM does look incredibly foolish, we should (at ther very least) acknowledge his willingness to fall on his own sword. You just don't see that level of stubborness every day.


You really are a barrel of laughs, too bad you are such a hypocrite and slow at recognizing the truth. (I believe Bear put it more succinctly) The cops you were sending over still haven't arrived yet! -:)

I think this is a good time to wish Rob a Happy New Year and let him know there are a few solid folks behind him. It can't be any worse than 2013, but "that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger". I hope in 2014 you can get the help you need. Best Wishes.

oh gawd, if ever there was a case for closing a thread...

if only the dunderheadedness could be contained to one thread this one could yet serve a purpose.

I think we have the height of stubbornness (not to mention stupidity) with the likes of the forum dweeb, who continues to hand out “reds” despite the fact the management annihilated a few dozen of his “reds” already. Can you get anymore stubborn or stupider than that?

Why don't you ask the powers that be to eliminate the thumbs down option if it causes you such consternation? Many sites have "thumbs up" as the only option, very wussy sites I might add.

I think you are missing the point here, Walter, I have nothing against the “thumbs down” when used fairly, what does annoy me is when one dweeb continuously hands out literally dozens of “thumbs down” regardless of the post. I have in fact never rec’d a single “thumbs up” from said dweeb. If you check my comments across the board they are running over 90% favourable. I know I get both from you Walter which isn’t a problem.

Hey Goober, It seems the idiots who hand out "reds" don't realize who they speak loudest about! (When they are pointing a finger, three more are pointing back.)

Well I see a vacation coming.

Walter we have 1 member that throws temper tantrums,and then proceeds on annotating a large number of posts as Red.
That is what JLM is referring to. Not the Red itself, the childishness that 1 member plays.
Guess he never learned to play well with other.

More than one member does this.
