Teflon Man's Back in the Hot Seat While Big Dog Takes a Flying Leap
You saw our shameless political promos, now here's the results. Our scribbles friends Brian Heit and Dave Thompson were both voted in to represent their local ridings, in Ontario's recent Municipal Election.
The role of St Catharines Regional Council is not new to incumbent Brian Heit (aka "Teflon Man" by his colleagues at Talk Wireless, thanks to moi). Heit was one of six appointed to that position, in a race that saw mud slinging and a baker's dozen of hopefuls in the running.
Meanwhile in Lincoln, Dave "Big Dog" Thompson entered the political arena for the first time. He literally took a flying leap while on the campaign trail. He was hit by a truck while distributing campaign flyers. Shaken and bruised but not seriously hurt, Dave took second place in his ward, securing him a seat on council as well.
Congratulations Brian & Dave, I hope you represent your "peeps" well.
[EDITORS NOTE: There were some questions as to why scribbles would feature political endorsements on our site. Brian Heit and Dave Thompson read scribbles and scribbles keeps you in touch with what our readers are up to. It is for this reason alone that we included Brian and Dave's political aspirations.]
