ReplyDeleteWho made this statement regarding the Weepert ???
Get Engaged !
"While this is a Very Challenging Issue and I have certainly heard of those who oppose that.
I don't think that Tofino in any way should Shy Away from this Challenge, I think that it's Ours to Meet.
I think it's a Teachable Moment in Our History and..
it is a Point of Conflict and if there is something we can say about this town,
We are Good with Conflict.
I'm OK with That.
This is a teachable moment and I think as long it's interpreted well and ,and this is given ummm.....you know to... I... I... I'm for it.
I just can't see another way around it."
God bless Jack Munro !

ReplyDeleteIn the publics eye really means poke it in the public eye.
ReplyDeleteand if anybody wonders who gives a crap..... the district of tofino does.
every day it gives an offering of crap to the beautiful clean ocean goddess surrounding us.
isn't it time the politicians offered crap to the people in town? - offerings of badly painted fish, tacky mascots, political sculptures, parking meters, with more ugly to come.
yes it may be a teachable moment, or true Tofino is good with conflict but it doesn't mean we have to pay for it
ReplyDeletewhat nobody seems to understand is that democracy was suspended back in 2005 or so when the Supreme Court ruled that elected politicians can do whatever they feel like without any responsibility or oversight aside from the criminal code of Canada.
ReplyDeleteso for the people of tofino who feel oppressed by unfair and disorderly acts that the shitty council inflicts upon the public here; well, suck it up.
( insert picture of Mussolini hanging upside down)
people fail to see what an incredible commercial opportunity lies herein.
ReplyDeletesomeone is going to make buckets of money selling small replicas of the weeping cedar woman, sandy the mascot, mr. floatie, a matchstick kennedy river bridge, the stubbs isle, 3-d printed chocolate heads of shirley langer,chrome plated spikes,
man, the list is endless.
tacky is good!
In relation to, "tacky is good".
ReplyDeleteAnyone take a look at the junction lately.
Signage galore. What a frickin' mess!
Wya on earth would anyone do such a thing.
Totally tacky, totally west coast…NOT

A "sign of the times".
