Yeah and I don't really get why someone like him would be like that. The way he treats others is appalling. Considering what happened to him in his life makes it all the more frustrating, as you would think he would be more empathetic.
Probably has some personal demons that he has not grown to accept fully and takes it out on others.

I think the distribution of good people and assholes is roughly the same between rich and poor, able-bodies and those with physical handicaps. He's an asshole, and there's not many people who would dispute that.

Shocking that he made a career out of politics, considering how unlikeable he is.

It's too bad he is no where near popular enough, but I would be curious about his biography as that may shed some light on how he was able to get into politics. Maybe he used his sob story of being handicap to crawl in, and most people won't know he is an asshole until much later.

The vast majority of politicians I've met are total fucking assholes. And CEOs and VPs. Gwyn Morgan was probably the biggest asshole I've ever met in my life. Total jerk AND a racist.

I've met some real top level guys in the corporate world who are total beauties. Gotta be cutthroat when required, but nice guys. Not a lot of them, but there aren't a lot of really nice guys in the middle either.

[suntan]

I find if you meet them in groups they're really nice.

One on one or in informal settings, some of them turn utterly psychotic.

A lot - probably most - VP/c-suite people are like this. Psychotic is definitely hyperbole, but company leaders are very diff in informal settings than they are in "public" (which most of us are; there's no reason to think they'd be any different).

They are all sociopaths. You have to be in order to play the game to get to that level. Some are just better at hiding it than others.

I'm sticking with psychotic.

Here's some choice things I've had VPs say to me:

"I'm so fucking glad I get to layoff so many fucking employees"

"Who the fuck let women make decisions? Only thing they're good for is for sucking my cock. Bunch of fucking bitches."

"Oil is going to be $100 forever"

Most people look at me like I have 3 eyes when I tell them this

I had an employee that was at a gov't function where he was there. This was outside at McDougall. He tried to grope her every time she got near. He said he couldn't control his arms.

I’d like to hear his explanation for this.

Who’s got the best shot of beating him? Is it gondek or Davison? Has there been any polling for municipal so far?

https://globalnews.ca/news/8212466/c...election-poll/

Farkas at 30%
Gondek at 25%
Davidson at 6%.

And rounding out the bottom:

Kent Hehr — who withdrew Tuesday — and Brad Field had three per cent support each, and Jan Damery had two per cent.

I expect Davison endorsing Gondek any day now.

This will only make Farkas stronger as the Johnson vote are now all going to him

[killramos]

I thought Davison was pretending to be a conservative lol

I think a lot of people turn soured on her after they found out she was running while prego. Not right but that was criticism back in the days if anyone remembers.

Kim Dong Tyer sounds awesome the way she's swinging day 1 when Fat Joe rejoined the race.



Definitely not enough to have to deal with the public, under a microscope and trying to not get misinterpreted every time you open your mouth.

Meh, not even a talking point in 2021. Nobody remembers, or cares....

On the other hand, Magliocca's re-election announcement has put him back in the news for all the wrong reasons. Many constituents are pissed off and want to make him pay, that's what I'm seeing.

[ExtraSlow]

fat joe should pay per ounce like at the mongolian grill places. That cocksucker would be like 89coupe for his $95 lunches.

[mr2mike]

Brad Field is a chump! Couldn't get in as a councillor so now he's trying for mayor.

I only based my guess on this vote. Can he rejoin councilor race if he drops?
