Listening/watching the current council session.
Robbie sounds sedated.
Like 5 oxy sedated.

Does anyone else get that impression?

Is that "Big Mike" the security guard in the background?

and the media just report it without questioning.... grrrrrr.

Don't get mad at the media, evva. The questions were asked, they just weren't answered.

actually, if you search twitter it looks like #SL is just a generic indexing tag that all CBC reporters use to track their stuff.

Correct. It's like the #hw that the CBC federal political reporters use. It enables the twitter feed on their website to pick up the tweets but has no meaning.

Won't speculate on what or how much, but he does sound seriously out of it to me. More so than yesterday.

Yes, that's the impression I got when I was listening (while he was acting as chair).

Something big is up:

john lancaster ‏@jlancasterCBC 1h
For those following #TOpoli, CBC News will release our latest investigation, tonight on @CBCToronto #sl

A scandal a day keeps the new Comms guy at bay.

AoD

Lancaster was in the council chamber yesterday during the Mammoliti motion. My guess is the CBC story is about him.

Between CBC and Star stories, feeling like it's going to be a looooong evening

Does anyone else get that impression?

Yeah. Even when he was speaking right after lunch, releasing items he had held, he was soooooooooo slow. He is definitely on something. I noticed it yesterday too, when he came up to talk to the international students in the gallery. He seemed like he was really high on something.

I'm not usually a fan of the photo mashups.... but this is genius. Thank you for making my day.

Is that "Big Mike" the security guard in the background?

Yes, that's big Mike; and since he was transferred out of City Hall in May, I think that means this photo is not current.

The CBC story is on the relationship between Deco Labels & the company that provided the Sugar Beach Umbrellas. The companies are neighbours and the owner of the Umbrella Co was appointed to a city board.
