I wish I remembered about the award thing. But I don't. I do remember the stink being made at the time - the mayor at the time was Barbara Hall, I think (could've been June Rowlands) (probably Hall because the whole thing is SO NDP). I just remember thinking, "Oh, brother" about the whole thing.
One thing about Toronto - our mayors may be flakes and weirdos but they are colourful in their own strange way. We've had several clowns run for mayor, but the only one that made it to office was Lastman. In fact, one of the "clowns" that ran for mayor (this is going back quite a number of years) was Vicki Gabereau, who did a TV interview with Joni a few years ago (I don't remember her clown name but I'm pretty sure the word "Sunshine" figured in it.) --- Mags N Brei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i remember that fiasco around the Ladies...the good > news in that is they received a lot of great > press/attention as a result..
