Mississauga Musings

I'd like to send a message to all crowns and all [Police]..

You send too many messages. Time for a new cliche.

To "Seagreen" and others.

I edited your message and substituted the word "Police".

While your c-word isn't offensive and it actually is an acronym for Constable On Patrol, back in the Fifties when I went to Fairview School, we looked forward to visits by Constable Yakichuk.

He always referred to Police.

And just for the record, the Crown Attorney never repeated "We have to send a message to the public" over and over.

I did that in this Blog for *heh heh* Literary effect.

Take care, Seagreen --especially if you're around The Big Yellow.

Cop is actually derived from the verb "to cop" meaning to capture. The Constable On Patrol etymology is mythical as far as I know. The other popular origin is that it is short for copper, referring to the badges early policemen wore. This too is incorrect.

Anyway, pedantry aside, the real point here is the irony of the Crown arguing that Batista must be convicted of initimidation in order to send a message to the public!

Not that the Crown is advocating intimidation of the public or anything...

[Message to Guitar Man]

Loved your comment. Totally cracked me up. But gee, darlin', ya gotta know I can't "publish" that....

Good meeting you finally. My offer's still open. You got some music, I'm more than grateful to put it to images.

Ruby was some kind of wonderful, wasn't he.

Irony. I know Irony. It's like Satire.

And I can use BOTH in one sentence. Watch this.

It's IRONIC that The Corporation of the City of Mississauga passed its new Respectful Workplace Policy which would easily allow The Corporation to pronounce a citizen's SATIRE email as "ridicule" and therefore, "harassment".

BTW, that's not me talkin', that's the Crown. I'm inferrin' though based on the Crown's ummm -narrative thread.

Sick to my stomach

What you have reported regarding the prosecutor’s [persecutor’s?] request to “Please convict this man, we have to send a message to the public” has made me feel very sick.

You said the first day of the trial that you had to run out of the courtroom crying. After reading your blog I had to leave my office to vomit bile.

Maybe you and I are too sensitive and need to get thicker skins? Or maybe guilty of being human? Either way as a member of the public I am getting ‘the message’.

Now I feel emotionally disturbed. I wonder if I am going crazy or is everybody else nuts?

I’m very upset. I’m not mad, just angry. So now will my anger be perceived as a threat to those who precipitate the conditions of injustice which have so riled my emotions? Now I also wonder if I am suffering paranoia or is there really anything to worry about?

Oh Oh; there are others who have gone before me who are labelled paranoid and/or threatening. I guess I better lay low and shut my mouth and sign this with some anonymous web name.

No; cowering in anonymous fear is not the way to respond to a bully.

Signed;

If you got a message to deliver to me as a member of the public then I suggest it be delivered in person; face to face like a human being.

I’m working on some Lycs Hun except Clayton Ruby may have to defend (anonymous) for cropping (anonymous ) pics from the media ( anonymous ) sources and Eye 07 16 98 article affiliated with the The Toronto Star under (anonymous) rights to remain silent . (check your mail box)

Thusly check out the You Tube /Proportional Representation Comments to Bill 155 - Pooling scenery , Time Lines 17 – 24/5:00, and the original Eye picture “Ontario A Place To Stand, And A Place To Dig “.

I don’t think Judge Keany or Mr. Ruby could honestly live with the decision that the Crown Attorney with held pertinent information, the Region’s Acting Clerk/ FOI Officer should have disclosed into submissions that’s been circulating around city council since 1998.

The “mistake of fact” is that the Crown Attorney assumed satires only exists “under Russian domain” except Mr. Batista’s dimensions transcripts are identical to the information package former Ombudsman , Clare Lewis, sent back to the Region of Peel under file # 145962 October 5 2001 after my telephone had been cut off.

If the hole fits you’d think the Crown must acquit (or was that the about the OJ glove?)

Hi there, Steve,

You wrote:

Yeah? Well, imagine how I felt --I was actually there!

You wrote:

Good. I pronounce you human.

You wrote:

I think rather than thin skins, you and I (and others who've expressed their rage either at MISSAUGA_WATCH@YAHOO.COM or through YOUTUBE) are merely able to put ourselves in Mr. Batista's place.

I'm convinced the Crown Attorney was unable to. Perhaps that's even a pre-requisite for the job.

You wrote:

"Now I feel emotionally disturbed. I wonder if I am going crazy or is everybody else nuts?"

That's what others have said too. They're so permeated with disgust and then wonder if something's wrong with them.

You wrote:

There really IS something to worry about, because Steve, like Mr. Batista, like this guy at YouTube, yes, like me, there's this Fear. And it's justified.

Oh. Geeze, and I forgot to mention Don Barber.

One day I'll tell All about anonymity of web names. How they're anonymous for The Corporation but not for the public. (Long story)

Edward R. Murrow said that on See It Now when he finally stood up against McCarthy when no one else had the guts. Here.

Just so you know, Clayton Ruby would say that too --You stand UP to Bullies.

Last, Steve, you wrote:

Can't be done, Steve. 2001 Municipal Act turned cities into Corporations and gave Corporations "natural person" status.

But no where in that act or in subsequent amendments did legislation demonstrate any concern for WHAT kind of "natural person" Ontario citizens were ultimately stuck with.

Me, I'm Ursula Bennett but I prefer Mississauga Muse. Because the name reminds me why I'm here.

I respect you a great deal for your reaction to the torment of Mr. Antonio Batista. I figure if someone reading what happened in that courtroom isn't outraged, well...

it says something.

Warm regards and my best.

Stephen,

There's no doubt your anger will be seen as threatening. That's because it is. If you get angry enough, you might start working to take away their power. They know this. It's something they cannot tolerate.

I share your anger. Two isn't a movement, but three... Can you imagine three people getting really angry with them? They might think it's an organization!

[Thanks Arlo.]

Dear Bright Snoop,

Noticed you wrote "Thanks Arlo" figured it was Arlo Guthrie and my if I didn't find words of inspiration!

From Alice's Restaurant:

"You know, if one person, just one person does it
they may think he's really sick and they won't take him.
And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both [check the lyrics] and they won't take either of them.

And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out.

They may think it's an organization.

And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out.

And friends they may think it's a movement."

Sorry, Don't dare post that, Dude. Too threatening.

You know this weighted down thing about duplication is that Peel Region’s CAO Clerk, Charlotte Gravlev , said on July 16 2004 File No.122-01 the 6’ X 3’ X5’ holes in the Eye Article (You Tube time 4:14 - 4:17) were just “News Paper Clippings”

How ever the letter also states in the You Tube time line (4:28 - 4:38) “ the region does not mandate responsibility to collect and maintain documents”? signed CG:na

Kind of odd because the message is the $600,000 allegedly spent on pooling must be figments left to Jennifer Goulin’s imagination if we can’t find our bits of T-4 slips and ROE’s either. Thought the Corporation was supposed to be one big “singular” happy family under one CEO/CAO roof of intimidation?
