So London’s Mayor, Joe Fontana, is taking some heat for telling our university football team, the Western Mustangs, that hard work is bullshit.
I’m not Joe’s biggest fan but I have to defend him here. Joe was hanging out with university students. He was trying to relate. They were celebrating their first weekend back for school. He was in a jovial mood and attempting to make the point that they have to make time for fun. I wish some puckered behinds would cut him a little slack.
Joe is a character. Not in the way Rob Ford is a character. No, that’s councillor Stephen Orser. But he talks from the heart and he’s a little rough around the edges. If anyone is offended by the use of the words damn or bullshit well, they’re a little too sensitive in my view. There are a few things Joe could stand to refine but his friendliness and “everyman” personality aren’t among them. You go Joe. Besides…this may be your only term as Mayor…
I don’t know your mayor. But can we trade just for a week so I can get acquainted? Puh-lease????
