I don't wanna and you can't make me!

Well it seems that our illustrious Toronto City Council is at it again. Yes, they actually had a petty argument about where each member would sit during a photo shoot and since they couldn't agree, the Mayor put the kibosh on the whole affair and cancelled the picture for the day.

How pathetic.

Is our City Council no better than 5 year olds in the supermarket holding their breath because their parents won't buy them a package of Ho-hos? Seriously! (By the way, as an aside remind me not to do a search for images of ho ho again; it's ho-hos damn it!) ;)

The whole fufura erupted when the Mayor wanted his executive committee to sit in the front row, but the councillors wouldn't budge from their seats. Apparently they had those seats during the previous pictures and refused to move when asked. I'm sorry, if the Mayor asks someone to move...you move.

The amusing thing is, not that the rest isn't amusing/ridiculous, one of the councillors is roughly 4'11" and because of the staunch attitude of one of the councillors, she was told to stand in the back for the photo. Yeah, ok, she'll really stand out when she's surrounded by her much taller counterparts...

The other thing that boggles my mind, why on earth would they need to pay $1,000 for rental equipment for what would realistically take an hour (at most) to do?

So our Council can't agree on where to stand for a simple photo, how can they be expected to get *anything* done at all?!

So now the shoot has to be rescheduled; let's see if they can play well and share their space in their proverbial sandbox next time.
