By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – There could be some interesting predictors of future behaviour to draw from disgraced councilor Al Maghnieh’s big trip to Vancouver, to attend an early June meeting of Canadian municipal big shots. Of course, one must wonder why Maghnieh himself would be among such political movers and shakers, including the [...]
By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – University of Windsor professor, and city hall watcher, Cheryl Collier has sounded the alarm and basically declared to most, or all, that she wasn’t partial to exact measurements. The flying off the handle on world tours by the mayor of Windsor, Eddie Francis, to build a better reputation for [...]
By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – Most likely there is much praise these days from the city of Windsor’s mayor’s office going out to the team that Eddie Francis has assembled to shore up his image and pave the way for his much hoped for and probably, in his mind, deserved four-peat re-election. It seems [...]
By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – Some call it possibly accidental, others think not and conspire amongst themselves that the message was very clear, although between the lines, of a Windsor Star report on June 14.

By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – While the wait continues on the part of Windsor, civic officials and municipal staff in the largest city in Northwestern Ontario are right now pouring over the results of an arbitrator’s decision relative to the pay of its smoke eaters. In Windsor the results of an arbitration process with [...]
By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – You have to hand it to Gord Orr, and some people are. He is the boss over at TWEPI, which sounds like creepy, the local tourism promoter that nicely hived off half of its responsibilities, by having local politicians allow it to get out of that apparently nasty chore [...]
By Robert Tuomi (WINDSOR, ON) – There he goes putting his oar in everyone else’s business.
