Councillor Dave Szollosy: Straightman

Councillor Szollosy: Straightman

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 16, 2012, 8:34 AM
"Can we do something to make them regular rectangles instead of odd-shaped appendages?" - Councillor Dave Szollosy [link]

Apparently, Dave Szollosy thinks changing the borders of a piece of undesirable property will make it more desirable, despite having little or no building permit opportunity, and restrictions because of environmental protection.
Some of the properties would be difficult to access because they have no road frontages or they have a landlocked status.
Many would require planning approval for development because they don't meet minimum requirements for residential development, according to the article that I provided the link to.

"Can we do something to make them regular rectangles instead of odd-shaped appendages?"

Perfect set-up, Dave....
Since you no longer respond to my queries about your conflict of interest and my defamation by your employer, the Catholic School Board....


Did YOU know that Councillor Dave Szollosy has an odd shaped appendage growing out of his shoulders?

Just kidding, his head is perfectly square.

It's ready for development too...
There's nothing but empty space inside.


Why does Advocate FEAR the Truth?I posted the comment below this paragraph after a story about a ruling by the Ontario Press Council was published in the Georgina Advocate. http://www.yorkregion.com/news/article/1227837--press-council-dismisses-police-complaint
The Georgina Advocate removed the comment, and changed the settings so nobody could contradict their biased take on the ruling....
Here is the opinion they were so frightened you might read that they deleted it, and curtailed any further public dissent:

"We still have a right to hear the full story, reguardless of what yorkregion.com believes is appropriate.
When Constable Styles was asked what happened,
Journalism and GrammarFar be it from me, a person who is NOT a "professional journalist", to give advice to someone who claims they are....OK, so maybe NOT so far....

:thumb269890505::thumb288898412:

....but I can't help but comment on a mistake that keeps being repeated by the local paper.

Joe Fantauzzi, the reporter who insinuated that an underage run-away was a prostitute, has continually started sentences like this:

"York Regional Police has...."
Or
"York Regional Police is...."
Or
"York Regional Police does not..."

The way I remember it, from PUBLIC school, is this:
if you are talking in the plural, it should be:

"York Regional Police HAVE..."

Journalism is hard, just ask Tracy KibbleHere is a hopefully still ongoing exchange between the Editor of the Georgina Advocate, Tracy Kibble, and I.
This is the e-mail I sent to get the conversation started:

Have you been following the ball ban story coming out of Toronto, Tracy?
Here is today's journal entry, entitled 'Give me balls or give me death' http://keswickpinhead.deviantart.com/journal/Give-me-balls-or-give-me-death-269485172

I find it fascinating how some media deal with officials who overstep their authority in OTHER parts of Canada.

This brave approach is sadly lacking here in Keswick.

Your silence emboldens criminals in positions of power.

Saying nothing ensure
Question HONESTY of AdvocateThe Georgina Advocate recently ran a story about a Keswick man who is facing charges of child pornography. http://www.yorkregion.com/news/article/1309763--georgina-man-arrested-on-child-porn-charges

If this person is, in fact, guilty of the allegations made by the York Regional Police, then I hope the Judge punishes him to the full extent of the law....IF he is guilty.

But here's the thing about the YRP and the Advocate, they don't always get it right, or act in an appropriate manner, when it comes to issues of morality and law and order.

For instance, I believe it was reporter Joe Fantauzzi who gossiped about an underage female, a

His mother wanted a penis?"His mother wanted a pianist" said the '60 Minutes' correspondent and anchor of CBS NEWS.

It sure would have been mortifying for CBS if they had to explain that the mother of Leon Panetta did NOT desire male genitalia.:giggle:

Thankfully, Scott Pelley did NOT get the pronunciation of "pianist" incorrect....unlike the way he pronounced "memento".

It's embarrassing enough that Scott Pelley, a journalist, apparently thinks the word is "MOMENTO", but "His Mom wanted a Dick" would have been TOO funny...unless we're talking about Leon's brother, Richard.

By the way, I don't know if Leon Panetta actually has a brother named Dick, a
Be careful what you agree to"York Regional Police makes no representations, warranties or guarantees of any kind, express or implied, as to the content, sequence, accuracy, reliability, timeliness or completeness of any of the information or data provided herein".

So starts the document before the Crime Map http://www.yrp.ca/crimemap-disclaimer.aspx that I found out about from following @YRP on Twitter.

To that statement I can wholeheartedly attest. From my experience I've concluded the York Regional police take no responsibility for accuracy, reliability, timeliness or completion of any of their duties.

But I will not be looking at the YRP Crime Map, because I would
