Rick Salutin on Civic Embarassment
We are in Edmonton right now, and when people ask us where we are from, I mention our community as being about 70 kilometers from Toronto; I then hasten to add that we have nothing to do with Rob Ford, one whose escapades every westerner we meet seems to be well aware of. Never have I felt a greater urge to distance myself from Ontario's capital, with obvious good reason.
I therefore found especially interesting Rick Salutin's thoughts on civic embarrassment and its effects on the people. You can read it here.
Off to Banff tomorrow. I wonder if the Rockies will resound with derisive laughter as well.
