Campaigns Need Financing

Follow The Money

By Ian Paulson (WINDSOR, ON) – According to my colleague, Windsor Councilor Al Maghnieh has not answered questions when it comes to Maghnieh’s 2010 election spending. Not so much the spending, but the accounting thereof.  Depending on what the facts are, it could be that Maghnieh failed to account for up to $5,000 in spending. [...]

Francis To Contravene Police Act?

Windsor-Police

The issue at hand is the shoddy performance of the Windsor Police Services Board and its Chairman, Eddie Francis. In the wake of the resignation (a co-called retirement) of Police Chief Gary Smith, there needs to be a further rolling of heads from the WPSB due to the severity of the situation. It must be [...]

Police Board Hypocrisy

Windsor Police vehicles

By Ian Paulson (WINDSOR, ON) – Let me know if you’re surprised with Edgar’s antics on last Thursday. I mean the  modus operandi  was true to form.

Francis Loses Puzzle Pieces

Yum-Center1

By Ian Paulson (WINDSOR, ON) – The University of Louisville (KY), has a very good basketball program.

Doing Less Costs More

Public Need Not Attend

In the previous part I addressed Accounts Payable, Parking, Legal Services, and Child Care. The results of the OMBI [...]

Who Is Running The Circus?

Clowns

Eddie’s Egg To Face Ratio

The Windsor Star building

By Ian Paulson (WINDSOR, ON) – Edgar is upset; if you believe what you read in the Windsor Star. In front of the University Avenue armoury, at the end of May this year, there gathered together politicians, a newspaper publisher, and even a university president, to proclaim the “rebirth” of the downtown. Their big announcement [...]

The Last Patrol

Jarvis, Star Spinning For Eddie

Windsor Police vehicles

By Ian Paulson (WINDSOR, ON) – Police, in general, have a difficult job to perform. They are tasked to continually deal mostly with the reprobates and ne’re-do-wells of society. In some cases they face-off against the likes of murderers and rapists, and even go up against nefarious scum like Paul Bernardo and Karla Holmolka. As [...]

Godfrey Planning To Exploit Readers?
