The reaction keeps coming for and against tuesdays column about mayor Sam Katz a shamelessly opportunistic statement on the random Stab Bing of a 16-year-old girl at the Forks. But i a going to keep it to two Sam Ples one from each Side. First a supporter of the mayor. I Don to read your work very often or. Sinclair but i was motivated to do so on this Date with police noted in the heading police face shocking violence every Day or. Mayor. As usual i was completely and utterly disappointed. First of All i would take just one Sam Katz or others like him in life who chose to step Forward in challenging environments and contribute. Rather than 100 Gordon Sinclair who chose to Lurk in the shadows and spew out negative personal attacks on those who do. Your licence to make Public your poisonous perspective impugn ing motives declaring your selfish one sided views Speaks to the Lack of accountability in the Media today. And to sanctimonious by Dangle the realities that police face today to make your argument drips with hypocrisy. You have spent a career on the other Side of that Fence. Just who is the opportunist Here i find your trans Parent acknowledgement of these Reali ties disgusting. And finally ill take no lessons from you or others who Lack the prerequisite integrity and character to decide who i will vote for As it was signed James b. Bell Winnipeg police service retired. I wrote and asked or. Bell for his phone number so i could verify his identity and make his comments Public. He promptly emailed it. With a rider. Do not Call. I have no intention of engaging in a conversation with you. I also could to care less whether you make my comments Public or to this Point i had been careful to be polite. I want going to bite. One of our secretaries called him. Actually i was proud of myself for minding my manners for not Sharpen ing my Teeth on the angry or. Bell. Thank you again i wrote in conclusion for taking the time to express your of so i bit. There were others who agreed with the column. Charlie Thorpe for one. Man am i with you on this one. Who can we get to run against him i responded to Charlie by telling him that i desperately tried to find a High profile candidate. But no one would bite. So i was thinking about running my dog Tate the Golden retriever for mayor. You know As a protest write in candidate. He a charismatic he knows How to work a room can shake hands with both paws and loves to please. And Here a what really makes him an Ideal candidate if elected he promises to do absolutely nothing to make this a bet Ter City. Winnipeg voters seem to prefer mayors like that.
