Sandra’s Photo Op

2009-10-01

On Thursday’s Toronto Sun cover, the Sun tried to make a news story about Councillor Sandra Bussin’s phone call into John Tory’s radio show where she only identified herself as “Sandra from Toronto”.

Bussen defended outgoing Mayor David Miller but when asked repeatedly by John Tory if she works for the city, she responded “no”.

Is this seriously front page newsworthy? She called the radio station to defend the Mayor. Who cares if she wasn’t forthcoming that she’s a Councillor? Councillors are human and they are also citizens of the City of Toronto. She has every right to defend David Miller.

However, if I were her I’d be more pissed off about the photo they published on the cover than the article itself.

It seriously looks like the photo was taken while she was in the middle of a number two. Poor Sandra.

  1. Assuming Toronto Councillors are employees of the city seems .. uninformed? naive? ignorant? uneducated? like the assumption of a Sun newsdesk lacky?
    Considering that all residents of Toronto are pedestrians to some degree and bicycle riding is at minimum a rite of passage, the actions of some councillors to uphold the interests of various motor vehicle lobbies above the interests (read safety) of pedestrians and bicyclists, it would seem obvious many councillors are indeed in fact employees of the motor vehicle and other supporting industries.
    Actually, by that token Councillor Bussin may be one of the few councillors who actually represents her constituency. Now does that make her a city employee? I still think not.
