Looks like there's lots of support for the return of the "Weeping Cedar Woman". I don't have a problem with this.
But it seems awfully strange that this support arrives AFTER council has already voted to support the project. Shouldn't council listen to the community first, and then vote on motions pertaining to the project?
The cart is in front of the horse?
My God are we ever in trouble.
They are All so much in Support , but don't want to contribute a "Penny". Just use the money of the stupid tax payers.
George Patterson claims that stirring-up controversy is a good thing
He Commends the Mayor and Council for their "courage and vision" for supporting this project. He refers to Picasso's "Guernica" a Painting about the Horror of War, the Nazi and Spanish Fascist bombing of Civilians.
Best of All
a Letter from Jennifer Steven, Eagle Aerie Gallery.
"Cut Down a Tofino Heritage Tree on Campbell Street for the protection of ART" (with rmi funding?)
While in the Anchor park they want to put this Thing supposedly against cutting down trees ?? Just shake my head and crack one open, have good weekend Tofino.
Tofino Housing Corporation minutes...... meeting called to order at 8:33, dismissed at 8:35. During those two minutes, a lot of worthwhile business was attended to. Nice to see that bit of foolishness finally put to rest.
Hear Hear 8:59
A letter from PRAS, George, TFN, Tofino Arts Society....So, one would now expect that the vocal opponents of the return of the "Weeping Cedar Woman" would request to be delegations at the next TFN council meeting, and all of these society boards so they can present their conspiracy theories? Or, even better...a lawsuit to do an FOI to Facebook to see if anyone from these organizations deleted, shared, or liked any post related to return of the Weeping Cedar Woman before they voted..Maybe...we should be recording phone calls, texts...video taping people who may even be talking about..."Weepergate". Wow, this could be one of the biggest conspiracies to ever happen in our town history, right before our very own eyes. On every Tofitian's facebook pages, in cafe's, on street corners (even under the red flashing light)...whisper's of "Weepergate". I can see it now....the truth unfolding...Robert Redford in disguise as a tall, fake, crazy, angry hippie, hiding his true identity, determined to set the story straight on Weepergate (with his real dream of trying to bring down the tiny rectangular RV parking lot Mayor's Office under a cloud of Facebook conspiracy). Oh my....
10:54
You must have seen that "Angry Hippie" in the Parking lot from behind your desk. Keep consuming these Donuts and Koolaid...You are Ruining this Town!.. I'm glad someone has the balls to stand up instead of Weeping anonymous on this blog.
Oh my...
10:54
You are even Worse than your Predecessor, a Wolf in Sheep's clothes that exchanged his Skis for a Longboard.
Yes, All these support letters for the cedar woman congratulating our city Council for its dishonesty, chicanery, condescension and downright arrogance in tacitly approving the thing before a duly convened city Council meeting.
way to go! hypocrites!
I wonder who's drinking the koolaid, buddy who is taping himself at a council meeting, while showing clips of people's facebook, (also while doing commercials for his company in between sentences). Somebody sounds like they might be drinking something, and maybe they aren't eating jelly filled donuts, but some cookies that help feed a few conspiracy theories. Oh my...
Compromise idea: Couldn't someone just ask Rod if the WCW could be returned to Strawberry Island? Then everyone is a winner.
Council needed to "jump the gun" and pre-approve the statue before the scheduled meeting.....they had no choice.....because.....a convicted criminal arsonist wanted it done as quickly as possible.
Sounds like 1:32 did Not attend the Council Meeting.
Come on, Advertising his Company Haha haha... at a Council Meeting where nobody from the Public shows up!
Conspiracy theories. Oh my...
If I had tax free status I'd be all for spending the taxpayers money ! Must be nice
Here's a criminal conspiracy theory.
the manifesto for the biosphere project 2001 declared that the biosphere constituents(which happen to be at present 2 members of Council & at least 2 of the letter writers supporting the Cedar woman) would work secretly in conjunction with 1st Nations to take over local government.
I forget why.......oh....... so they could put whatever they felt like in downtown casino.
Come on people stay on track.
Why do we have to go over this over and over again! Here is the chronological order of events as being presented to "Weepergate":
1) The Facebook Files
2) The Tape Recording
3) The Whispers...
4) The Acid
Oh...the acid. Hmm, I wonder if the
acid was first.
What's with the request of the RMI services department asking council to hand over a blank cheque to McElhaney Engineering for engineering of the 3rd to 2nd St. upgrades instead of following District policy and putting it out to tender? Oh, I guess since it is RMI money financial prudence doesn't matter. As Dorothy puts it, it's not taxpayer money it's hotel tax money. The waste of money goes on! Since the MUP connector was also paid for with RMI money, and since they are looking for a name for it maybe it could be called the Money Tree Trail or it could be paved with gold bricks and called the Yellow Brick Road. Lottery Lane sounds good too, or even Windfall Walk...
For Arts Sake...
That tree was there 28 years ago
That tree was there a 100 Years ago
Please don't cut down that beautiful tree, its 1 of the few old trees left on Tofino's clear cut
About the tree.
She doesn't get it.
Save the tree !!
Sure like to see some FOCS action
"Save the Ancient Tofino Heritage Tree on Campbell & 2nd"
Bring in the Tree Sitters !
Henry would never have let anyone cut down that tree. It was there long before Roy knew where Tofino was.
Please cut me down and carve me into a Weeping Cedar Man so we can have equal gendre representation.This will save the environment.Please use vegetable oil in the chainsaw as I am a vegan tree.
Let's get back on track people!
Why do we have to go over this over and over again! Here is the updated chronological order of events in "Weepergate":
1) The Acid.
2) 2001: UNESCO Biosphere founder plans to arrange a marriage with someone that can infiltrate the District office to help build the Casino with First Nations.
3) Present day: The "deleted" Facebook Files.
4) The Tape Recording "at the council meeting".
5) The Whispers "under the flashing red light"...
6) The Acid "again"
7) The "higher learning centre scheme that was secretly designed to train "black jack dealers" is uncovered.
8) Future: On-line Higher Learning Gambling Ponzi Scheme takes over the Biosphere!
HS, how did we not see this coming? This makes Strange Brew look like a minor conspiracy now. "Weepergate" is really just a distraction.
9) More whispers...flashing red lights...video recordings...
Oh no, they are ruining this town!
Let's put the weeping woman Anchor's Park and bugger up the remaining view. Then let the tourists carve their names in it and decorate it with graffity. Splendid idea! Best of all the taxpayer foots the bill for this nonsense!
