They have really backed you into a corner Rob

The editor of NOW magazine Michael Hollett, decided to apologize to Mayor Rob Ford as seen above for digitally alerting an image of him than putting it on the cover of an issue of NOW.How did he choose to apologise to the mayor by offering to pay to fly Rob to the Pride Parade in Toronto.On Monday I posted about Toronto's Mayor Rob Ford not being able to attend the flag raising at the beginning of pride week because of a meeting,and how it angered many people.He also said he wasn't sure if he would be able to attend any other pride celebrations it turns out that he won't be attending the parade he will be at his cottage.The cottage is near Huntsville and Michael Hollett is offering to pay for the flight as an apology.Obviously this is not an apology he justs wants the public to know that the mayor has every opportunity to attend.Hopefully the Mayor does attend and hopefully you do to.Happy Pride Week!

Hats and Environmentalists...

It goes without saying, that the hats worn throughout Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding were quite stunning, and did make a large statement.
Now, the Environmental Defence group are going to try and use the same accessory to make their own statement.
The Canada Charles and Diana saw twenty years ago was much different than Canada is today. And not for the better, environmentally wise. Environmental Defence is trying to bring awareness to these changes to Canada's nature and wildlife through their project "Hats for Kate"  The group has held a contest nationwide for hat designers to create a hat portraying out country, including issues due to pollution. Eight hats have been chosen, and they are to be shown at a fashion show in Ottawa on Canada Day.

You can check out the hats and their meanings, here. Enjoy! :

Where is your pride Mr.Mayor?

At the annual gay pride week flag raising on the 24th of this month Toronto's mayor was a no show.As the mayor of Toronto he should be there to show support to the citizens of the city he runs.This year he decided to not show up this angered allot of people who did attend.I think it is amazing when citizens of a city get together to show there support for a cause.I defiantly believe that in those  kinds of situations the mayor should come to show his belief in the unison of his city.Mr.Ford not showing up is like saying he does not support the gay community of Toronto.When Mayor Rob Ford was asked why he did not attend he said that he had a meeting with Toronto Maple leafs general manager Brian Burke and would not say what the meeting was about.When asked if he would be attending any of the gay pride week celebrations he said he would play it by day saying he was a very busy man.To busy for a vary larger amount of the population who attend these events or are gay themselves?I hope not or he may not be so lucky next time re-elections come around.

Healthy again

As I am sure many of you know there was a shooting in Arizona January and Congresses women Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head. She was shot by a twenty-two years old man named Jared Loughner who has been charged. For along time things were unsure and she was in a coma. But today she was released from the hospital and is in good health. At the bottom of the article in The Globe and Mail I got this information from many supporters of the congresses women gave their love and support. Her story really is inspiring and I hope all the best for her rehabilitation.
