What does it take to make a city sustainable? What will it take to make our future sustainable? Sustain Saint Paul advocates for community, fiscal and environmental sustainability in the City of Saint Paul.
The future of Saint Paul depends on expanding its housing availability, transit system and increasing its tax base.
A city needs people- it needs community. Those people need jobs and safe and effective ways of traveling from point A to point B around the city.
Sustain Saint Paul advocates for a community that emphasizes mixed commercial and residential land use with affordable housing options, has access to multiple modes of transportation, focuses on locally owned business, and implements sustainable forms of development and energy.
By advocating for projects like the current Ford Site plan, Riverview Corridor transit expansion, and Snelling South upzoning plan, we can take an active lead in a sustainable future for Saint Paul.
We're converting ourselves over to Sustain Saint Paul right now so forgive us if there's spots on here where we still use the SW3 name… We're trying to branch out and involve all parts of the city- after all – the city is only as sustainable as all its neighborhoods and making our city as sustainable as possible is going to take everyone in it!
Want to Get Involved?
There's lots of ways you can become involved in Sustain Saint Paul and help promote a sustainable future the City of Saint Paul:

- October 22, 2019On November 5, Saint Paul residents will be asked to vote YES or NO on Ordinance 18-39 which establishes the rules and regulations regarding trash pickup and billing for residents in dwellings with 4 or less units. Sustain Saint Paul supports a YES vote on this referendum and encourages its members and all Saint Paul residents to vote YES. There are many reasons to support organized trash collection (OTC): Equity. The new system standardizes prices which creates a more equitable rate system for everyone. No matter where you live in the city, if you are on an alley, or what your neighbors pay or do with their trash you will pay the same rate for the same service for the same cart size. Under the old system, residents in poorer neighborhoods often paid more or simply could not get haulers to come to their homes.Environment. Organized trash collection reduces the number of trucks on the road which reduces emissions and gas consumption overall (it's estimated that open systems use 375% the amount of gas of organized systems)Reduce road maintenance cost. Fewer trucks means less wear and tear on St. Paul's alleys and roads which in turn reduces maintenance costs. (In other words, fewer potholes, and more money for the potholes that remain!)Public health and safety. Organized trash helps the city prevent and clean up illegal dumping. The current system creates a baseline for Saint Paul's waste management solution. There are fair criticisms of the current system – that billing and customer service issues exist that overcharge and frustrate residentsSome residents are paying more because they previously shared carts with neighbors, including buildings With less than 5 units where previously carts were shared. Others may have chosen to "opt-out" of the system as low or zero-wasters. Customer Service and Billing Issues There have been issues with pickups, customer service, overages and complications with billing as this new service as been rolling out. This system has been in place for just over a year and almost every new program will have start-up issues. Section 2.20.5 of the contract establishes a "Consortium Customer Service Point of Contact" for the duration of the contract to address customer service issues. The city can exercise this part of the contract to engage the haulers to try to improve upon customer service. And it has. By most accounts, calls and complaints are down. This contract establishes a common expectation for customer service as well as specific routes to remedying them. Moving forward it can be expected that these issues will continue to be reduced. Sharing Under the previous system – carts were sometimes shared between neighbors or units in buildings. Some people did so because they are low wasters. Some did this for cost savings. Sometimes it is just not necessary to have one cart per unit. That said – it was still technically not permitted to opt-out of trash collection. Every residential dwelling unit (RDU) in dwellings with 4 or less units has been required to have trash service for years. This ordinance has not changed that. Sharing – especially in multi-unit dwellings – needs to be worked out in the present contract. As a city we should be encouraging residents to produce less waste. That goes without saying given the goals of this entire effort. Indeed – one of the objectives is to use organized trash in conjunction with Ramsey County's organics program due to launch in 2021 in order to provide curbside composting. That will further reduce landfill waste. This contract should and can be a starting point for a discussion about sharing and waste reduction. The hauler consortium pushed back on sharing during negotiations and as a result, a contract could not be reached at the launch time that included it as an option. But no contract is without the capability for renegotiation. As long as all parties can come to the table and are willing to negotiate, there is no reason not to expect that an arrangement can be made between the remaining haulers and the city and this contract can be revised. The Facts of Where We Are Now and What this Vote Will Mean One thing can be said with certainty – there won't be any movement on either of the above criticisms while there is uncertainty about the ordinance referendum. Claims from any party that a No vote on this referendum will mean that this current contract is void and that we will "start over" are false at best and really are simply misleading. In the October 5 article St. Paul's trash contract has an 'acts of God' clause. Would a ballot defeat count?, experts weighed in and expressed the same opinion – we don't know what will happen in the event of a NO vote. Certainly, if the City does decide that it can exercise the force majeure in the contract, as Carol Chomsky says "There's no clear, easy way out for the city in that 'force majeure' clause". Furthermore, in its October 16, 2019 full ruling, the Minnesota Supreme Court held that "Here, whatever the result of the referendum, the City's contract obligations are not impaired. The City is contractually obligated to allow St. Paul Haulers the exclusive right to provide waste collection services. The outcome of a referendum on an ordinance that establishes waste collection will not terminate the contract and does not rise to the level of a constitutional impairment of a contractual obligation. " (page 22 "A19-0916") The referendum does not impair the contract. What that means is that whether there is a Yes or No vote on November 5 – the contract between the City and the Hauler Consortium will not be terminated. The City will be obligated to pay the haulers. Mayor Carter has made it clear that in the event of a No vote succeeding, the City will shift the costs of this contract from the 73,000 households currently receiving service through it to ALL property owners by means of a 17.4% additional increase in the tax levy. Because the referendum is only on the ordinance that allows the haulers to bill for the services, the City would need to quickly transition to a way of collecting for services. Shifting to a property tax increase will ensure that no trash services lapse and the City cannot be held in breach of the contract. While this may be necessary to avoid chaos and a breach of contract, shifting the burden of this contract onto all property owners is NOT a good solution. Businesses and multi-unit apartments and condos – who are exempt from the ordinance – will have their property taxes increase AND they will still be required to contract their own trash services. A large percentage of the affordable housing units in Saint Paul are located in larger buildings. Small businesses already struggle. Increasing taxes on these properties will increase rents on residents already in housing vulnerable situations. Businesses will need to increase their prices in order to cover the rise in taxes. All without getting any services provided. The way to move forward is to Vote Yes. With a YES vote, a system grounded in the cooperative effort of the City and its residents will continue. Residents will receive uninterrupted service and continue to pay for it (we've already seen rates be reduced) instead of burdening the rest of the city with that cost. Instead of trying to breach and litigate the contract with the haulers only to eventually have to renegotiate everything – we can work on improving the existing pain points.We can work on the imperfections and we can continue to strive towards reducing waste and encouraging recycling and organics composting. It may take time, but there is at least a path towards progress. But, we're only going to do that together and if we keep moving forward. And that is why Sustain Saint Paul supports a YES vote. If you would like to help support a Yes vote, you can obtain a yard or window sign, make favorable comments, and get more information by going to https://yesforsaintpaul.org.

- July 18, 2019On Thursday July 18 7pm, the Highland District Council will fill 2 vacant seats- an At-Large and an At-Large Alternate seat. The At-Large seat is a full-time board seat which will require an election of ALL PRESENT ELIGIBLE VOTERS which means we NEED Highland residents to show up. The election for this seat will be held first because then the board will APPOINT the At-Large Alternative seat. It should take no more than 1/2 hr for both. Sustain Saint Paul member Tyler Blackmon will be running for the At-Large board seat during the election and will need your support. Here is a little more about Tyler: Tyler is a Highland resident and local advocate for affordable housing, vibrant urban living, expanded transportation choices, and local solutions to our global Climate Crisis. As a member of a joint task force bringing together renters, homeowners, and business owners along West Seventh, Tyler conducted community outreach around the planned streetcar route along West Seventh Street and worked with city and county officials to ensure that the planned route and construction met the needs of local residents. Tyler also serves on Saint Paul's Human Rights & Equal Economic Opportunity commission, on which he has been an advocate for housing as a human right and more proactive measures to combat discrimination in Saint Paul. Tyler and his fiancé, Kevin Vargas, live on Cleveland Ave S near the southern end of the Ford Site. As young residents of Highland whose children and grandchildren will be impacted by the transportation and housing choices local leaders make for decades to come, they are heavily invested in the future livability and vibrancy of our community. Please come out and support Tyler!

text: When Eileen Rogers' father, who was hardly ever at home anyway, finally died, she was rescued from the squalid city homes and dismal orphanages of her previous life and sent out to pasture with her country cousins, the Kennedys. Eileen's adjustment to all her new acquaintances is well handled here. The 12-year-old girl is not at all tough in reaction to her experiences, but she is terribly shy. Her new surroundings place her in contact with the five Kennedy children and their parents, classmates and neighbors -- and they all have distinctive personalities. Less satisfying is Eileen's adaptation to the English farm. Her total enjoyment of the household chores are scarcely compelling. A little more excitement could have been generated, but it's a quietly pleasant portrait of the family and school.

A former Hamilton man now living in Norway is embarking on a quest to become the "pie king" of Scandinavia.
Kyle Hirst wakes up every day wishing he was back home, where getting your hands on a Big Ben pie is as easy as popping into the local dairy.
"I've been homesick for 16 years. Every day's a pain in the arse - you wake up here, and it's not home," he told Newshub.
"In this country, street food is kebabs - which are decent enough - otherwise it's American hot dogs, or a lefse - small thin bread made of potato. It's shit. There's no pies here, mate."
He's now started a crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe to try and get a Big Ben factory built in Norway.
"I want a pie, but can't be arsed travelling 38+ hours home to get one," the page reads. "Figure a factory here would be easier."
Mr Hirst chose Big Ben because it brings back memories of having "too many drinks" and stumbling into "the Whitiora service station at three in the morning" on the hunt for food.
Recently he found himself sitting in the canteen at the car parts warehouse in Oslo where he works, forlornly staring at the salad bar.
"I thought f**k, a decent pie would be so good right now. I just sat there at the table eating my chicken and pasta."
He asked Big Ben if he could start a franchise.
"I said if you guys were in a jam, I'd be there for you. I never heard back from them."
So he took to the internet. And though he's only raised about NZ$5 so far, it's sparked in him that DIY, Kiwi entrepreneurial spirit.
"I'm actually gonna try and import some pies, or start making my own."
Others have tried and failed, including the manager of an Irish pub he used to work at. Mr Hirst says that's because they imported English pies, which just aren't the same.
Occasionally gourmet pies appear on the shelves at his local Marks and Spencer, but they just don't scratch the itch Big Ben does.
"This all started because I felt like a Big Ben savoury mince pie, and now I'm actually thinking I could start importing pies into this country," he says.
"Make an empire. Be the pie king of Norway."

5 Days of Soulful + Sensual Healing
Your Most Vibrant, Turned-on Life Begins Now!
Sometimes you need a break....
A time to turn inward and reflect, to let go of all the "shoulds" and simply just "be". Like the natural world, you also have seasons. You're a cyclical Being, flowing in and out of expansion and rest over and over again.
I've created this free 5 Day journey of sensual self care that will help you to nourish and soothe your nervous system. It's a collection of my favourite healing practices that will leave you feeling balanced, grounded, grateful, and full of love.
When the going gets tough… the tough, breathe and meditate!
Sign up today!
There's something that happens when Soulful women, like you, catch the personal development bug.
It seems we have to start fixing ALL the things.
We've got to:
- drink more water
- go all organic, all vegan and ditch sugar (better yet, you should probably do a juice cleanse)
- read every personal development book you can get your hands on, AND listen to all the podcasts
- do more yoga
- hire a coach
- start exercising more
- go barefoot in nature
- heal the mother wound
- go to a women's circle
- meditate
- network
- share it all on social media
- did you ditch all of the chemicals in your home yet?
- do an energetic cleanse.... of EVERYTHING
- cut all the cords
- see a psychic (make sure all the cords are really cut)
- learn Reiki
- write in your journal
- pull cards daily
- repeat your affirmations
- engage
Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
The path of personal development can be exhausting.
Do you really need to do it all to prove to yourself that you're worth of the love, belonging and success you crave?
What if you just showed up for yourself? Fully.
No bells and whistles. Just your body, your heart, and your soul.
As a coach, teacher and guide - a big part of my work is to support you on your path of personal development, healing, and sensual awakening. What I've noticed again and again is that when women come to work with me, what they need more than anything is to slow down and heal their nervous system.
The truth is: all of the expectations you're trying to live up to (your own, and everyone else's) are causing you to feel burned out, tired, stressed, fatigued and/or anxious.
This is why I've created this free 5 day course.
The Soulful + Sensual Healing Journey is your invitation to take a break from all of the expectations so that you can connect back into who you are which will help you to see that you're already whole, you've got everything you need, and you're deeply supported in your life.
When you know, deep in your soul, that you're able to resource everything you need without having to look externally for validation of your worth and value you'll be able to approach challenges and big dreams with a renewed confidence and trust in your ability to persevere.
You'll also know how to slow down, relax and stay balanced. This is a KEY awareness for ambitious women who want to live their lives to the fullest! Burnout is real. Adrenal Fatigue is real. Knowing how and when to restore your body while you go after your desires will ensure that you're always showing up 100% for everything in your life - including yourself.
This course is for you if:
- You're feeling burned out, at all
- You tend to overwork, and under rest
- You want to learn how to self source nourishment and relaxation
- You're ready to slow down
- You need a break
- You're constantly on the go - and you're not comfortable with stillness or resting
- You want some new ways to rest, ground and nourish your body and your mind
- Your Soul is whispering, "yes" right now
- You love free things!
This course isn't for you if:
- You're not willing to take 5 days to slow down and stop doing so much
- You still believe that hard work and hustle are how you'll be successful in your life
- You refuse to listen to your body's cues to slow down
- You don't think you need a break every once in a while
- You have no intention of slowing down until you've reached all of your goals

Another day trip to Arthur's Pass...
This last weekend my partner Karen and I went up to Arthur's Pass for the day and walked a number of tracks. One of them I walked towards the end of 2018 but the other was new to both of us. It was a really nice day in Arthur's Pass, warm, still and sunny...perfect weather for a trip to the National Park.
|There were a lot of visitors in Arthur's Pass Village over the weekend
We went on the Sunday as they were running the 2019 Coast to Coast race on Friday and Saturday and the Village is always heaving with people for those two days.
Walking the Punchbowl Falls Track...as an alternate...
We were planning to walk the Otira Valley track but when we got up to Arthur's Pass Village there was quite a bit of cloud lingering around the top of the valley. The Otira Valley Track is situated right on the highpoint of SH73 going over Arthur's Pass so the Otira Valley would have been full of cloud. As an alternate we decided to go up to Punchbowl Falls a very nice short track down by the village.
|Entrance to the car park for Punchbowl Falls Track
The car-park for the Punchbowl Falls Track is at the western edge of Arthur's Pass township, it was totally full of cars as this is starting point for a number of tracks in the area:Punchbowl Falls, Mt Aicken Track, Cons Track, Arthur's Pass Walking Track, Scott's Track and Coral Track.
|Arthur's Pass Village: note the many tracks in the immediate area
|Lots of tracks start from the Punchbowl Falls car park..
You walk up to the Bealey River bridge cross over it and take the right hand junction to get to the Falls. If you go left you will eventually reach the pass at the head of the valley by following the Arthur's Pass Walking Track.
|Looking at Punchbowl Falls from near the car park
|Karen crossing the Bealey River bridge, Arthur's Pass
|A very low Bealey River from the bridge to Punchbowl Falls, Arthur's Pass NP
|Track junction on the true left of the Bealey River...go right!!
Once over the Punchbowl Falls Stream the track is a series of flat areas, steps and stairs...it is built to great walk standards so can be used by anyone with a degree of mobility. Boots are not required a pair of walking shoes will suffice...
|On the Punchbowl Falls Track, start of the climb
|Multiple sets of steps on the Punchbowl Falls Track
|...and also a lot of stairs on the Punchbowl Falls Track
It is a bit of a haul climbing up all those steps and stairs but once you reach the apex of the track it is more gentle as it gradually descends down to the viewing platform at the end of the track.
|High point of the Punchbowl Falls Track, descending to the viewing platform
|Final set of stairs to the Punchbowl Falls Track viewing platform
We got to the viewing platform after about 25 minutes walking...not as many people here as last time I came up and the falls were flowing much more sedately. Several groups of ...lets call it as it is..idiots...ignored the rock fall warning signs and walked up the side of the valley to the lip of the falls.
This is not something I would do as I don't want to get squot like a pumpkin by a falling three tonne rock.... most of the transgressors were young with the resulting dumb obviously playing on their minds!!!!
I recommend you do not follow their example!

After a short break at the falls we started off back to the car park, the return journey is much quicker than the walk in as there is a lot more downhill. The trip back to the car-park would have taken us less than 20 minutes but we stopped off to visit the old power station site.

Karen has never visited the site of the old power station built for construction of the Otira Tunnel so we took the short five minute walk to the ruins. They consist of a series of foundations left over from the power house itself and the massive dynamo wheels installed to generate power. The site is a part of the Arthur's Pass Historic Walk.

We had a Wren following us through the bush as we walked the short track to the power station site. The Wren flitted from tree to tree as it checked us out...it was quite young and bold. Meanwhile momma bird was watching us intently from the top of a nearby tree...

We back tracked and walked back over the Punchbowl Falls Bridge (although Jon tried hard to convince Karen that an attempt at a crossing of the Bealey River was a good idea....it was very shallow due to the dry weather...)
Maybe next time we visit...
|Crossing back over the Punchbowl Falls bridge on the way to the car park
On the way to Punchbowl Falls we passed Cons Track, this is a moderate to difficult track up the eastern side of the valley the falls sits in. Con was one of the early Rangers in the National Park, he built this track back in the mid 1960's to allow access to the upper slopes of Mt Cassidy.
I will be visiting this track some time in the future: If you want to visit Mt Cassidy beware that once you leave the bush-line this track requires some rock climbing and can be moderately dangerous. You would need mountaineering skills and route finding ability to reach the summit.
I wont be going quite that far.....

The current bridge over the Bealey River was built in the late 1960' the previous wire swing-bridge was destroyed in a big storm so they built a much higher and stronger structure to replace it. There have been bridges here since the 1880's so people could visit the Punchbowl Falls.

Acne on Forearms
Acne is a very common skin condition, affecting nearly everyone at one time or another. While acne is most common on the face, many acne sufferers also have breakouts on other areas of the body. These can appear on the back, shoulders, chest, buttocks, arms and legs. Body acne poses no threat to health, but can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing for those who suffer such outbreaks.
As with facial acne, the exact causes of acne on the forearms or other body acne are not known as of 2010. Modern medicine can, however, explain how acne develops. Three factors contribute to the development of acne, the Mayo Clinic explains on its website: overproduction of sebum, or skin oil; irregular shedding of dead skin cells resulting in the irritation of hair follicles; and the build-up of bacteria. Acne occurs when the excess oil and dead skin cells form a soft plug in the hair follicle, which leads to the formation of acne lesions.
Acne lesions can appear in a number of forms. These include light and moderate forms, such as comedones, which are hair follicles clogged by sebum and dead skin cells; papules, which are small raised bumps that may be red and tender, indicating inflammation or infection; and pustules, which are red, tender bumps tipped with white pus. More severe forms of acne include nodules, which are large, painful lumps that form beneath the surface of the skin, and cysts, which are painful, pus-filled lumps under the skin similar to boils. People prone to body acne may have breakouts in areas where clothing or other items rub against and irritate the skin.
Mild or moderate acne on the forearms may respond to over-the-counter acne treatments, such as topical creams that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. More severe body acne or stubborn mild to moderate cases may require the assistance of a dermatologist to resolve. Among the treatments a medical professional can prescribe are prescription-strength topical treatments and systemic acne medications like antibiotics or isotretinoin.
The AcneNet recommends showering immediately after athletic activities to help prevent outbreaks of body acne, as well as wearing cotton clothing to absorb perspiration and reduce friction to the skin. The Mayo Clinic recommends washing acne-prone skin once or twice daily with a gentle cleanser and using oil-free, water-based skin-care products to reduce acne outbreaks.
No acne treatment will yield instant results. It can take four to eight weeks to see improvement with most acne treatments, the Mayo Clinic advises, and your acne may get worse before it gets better. Topical acne treatments can have side effects, such as skin dryness and irritation. Isotretinoin is associated with severe birth defects, so women who are or might become pregnant should avoid it.

We've just released an update that let you disable "Page Rating" from your space settings ("Customization" tab).
Yes. Its documentation! , not f**ing instagram. it must be comprehensible and clear
We plan on replacing it by a 3 emojis notation with a better page footer.
What is the main reason that makes you want to disable it ?
@Samy Pessé: I don't see the value in it as I think too few people will rate the page and therefore the results might be biased (you tend to rate things that make you angry). Plus I think the pages would look cleaner without it.
@Samy Pessé: I second this request. In a book, there is no point to have any kind of ratings or anything else in the footer that doesn't contribute to the content; I'd vote against emojis as well as against stars or any kind of watermarks, signatures, etc. The best solution is, as always, that you leave the choice to the user: if they want stars and/or emojis, let them enable them, something similar to what you did with GitHub button.
@Meho R.: While it's there for the purpose of providing data for the insights section of your dashboard, I agree that it should still be possible to disable insights (and article ratings) if the user so desires.

- I had a wonderful time & will attend next year.The staff were amazing.The meal was wonderful and I had a fantastic time.
- Loved it! I will recommend this event.

Today's 'Victorian Tea' was a fabulous event. John, your brother did a fantastic job on the food. Loved the talk about Victorian undergarments. Thank goodness I did not live then. The fashion show presented by 'La Jolie Juppe' was much better than the IODE show in April. More wearable clothes… 'Befriend' should have more folks checking out their clothes.
Thank you to all the team members for all the hours I know you spent on ensuring that our tea would be a success. Bravo!
What a wonderful day! The weather was perfect, the food was delicious (and plentiful), the models and clothes divine, the flute music by Margaret Trethewy was enchanting, our master of ceremony, Jim Swan, was lively and entertaining, the presentation on Victorian Secrets was interesting and informative, the models modeling the clothes from La Joli Jupe and Befriend were beautiful, and our volunteers were quite simply terrific.
Our guests checking out the silent auction items. There was a great deal of interest in many of the 28 items we had on display, raising almost $1,200.
A picture of our guests and the beautiful room. We had over 75 guests, all of whom had a truly wonderful afternoon.
Thanks to our dedicated group of volunteer waiters, pictured above, our 75+ guests were treated royally. We were a much more cheerful looking group when we were serving... .

Flush with the success of his pit bull ban, Mayor Denis Coderre of Montreal has vowed to pursue further worthless legislation in an effort to ensure that his city becomes scorned worldwide, and ideally an international pariah.
"We find," said the proud mayor, "that it helps to have a small amount of actual truth at the core of ineffective legislation, so we're working on the basis of one genuine fact. Some background: in the course of studying our idiotic breed ban, we established that dog-bite-related fatalities are vanishingly rare. I quote:
Your chance of being killed by a dog is approximately one in 18 million. More people are hurt each year by slippers, sneakers, and other shoes than by dogs. And when it comes to severity of dog bites, a meager 0.076% cause moderate to serious injury.
"Very exciting stuff. We considered banning slippers, but this is Montreal -- a city with a Siberian winter -- so we've determined that what we'd really enjoy inflicting upon residents is a complete ban on electric blankets. As I say, we'll be introducing a single demonstrable fact, and winging it from there:
In the US, more than 35,000 fires were reported caused by electric blanket failures between 1992 and 2002, causing more than 40 deaths.
"Totally unacceptable, right? So this will be -- pardon the little joke -- blanket legislation. We won't just be banning blankets that are obviously electric, but also blankets that look somewhat electric. We intend to argue that such blankets can turn electric in the middle of the night, despite years of cordless activity, and go on to fry innocent sleeping citizens.
"Do Montrealers love their blankets? Of course they do -- it's really fucking cold here. But safety comes first, so we'll be banning all blankets large enough to warm a human body. Our ban will be unprecedented in the annals of moronic legislation. We're just now cooking up scary numbers, in an effort to goose the hysteria required to get city counsellors on board. And we've found some impressively fraudulent studies.
"The most prominent clown fudging statistics in favour of Electric Blanket Bans (EBB's) is Cleric Mifton, a defrocked priest whose personal web site describes him as a 'Poet/Warrior/Statistician.' We're proud to have him involved."
The Huffington Post interviewed Mr. Mifton. He was asked whether he was aware of just how boneheaded his work is considered by sentient beings. Mr. Mifton dismisses critics of EBB with contempt: "These are paid scientists, clearly biased by conclusive evidence, whereas I'm a paid non-scientist, without any such bias. I think it's obvious who we should be listening to here. It's time to end the electric blanket holocaust."
"Cleric Mifton is our primary source," the mayor affirmed. "But we'll be quoting from lots of uncredentialed ideologues." Reading from a prepared statement, the mayor elaborated:
Our Electric Blanket Ban is strongly supported by the work of Ivanka Semifreddo, whose peer-reviewed vanity essays are considered the definitive critique of what she has famously called the 'accuracy whore.' It is only because of Ms. Semifreddo's studies that we can now divide scientists into those who insist upon accuracy -- thereby evincing a male-centric, diseased mindset -- and those who are bravely willing to forge new ground, independent of the prejudice associated with precise numbers and established facts. And Ms. Semifreddo is a fierce proponent of Electric Blanket Bans.
In its continued investigation of the mayor's sources, the Huffington Post determined that much of the accuracy-free scholarship promoted by Ms. Semifreddo rests upon fieldwork done by Colon Lint, a woman with years of experience in the séance industry. Ms. Lint has an entire website devoted to lurid photos of burn victims: close-ups of localized blanket burns; portraits of grimacing survivors displaying fried limbs, and -- a specialty -- lurid medical photos of children burned to death in blanket fires.
In an email interview with Ms. Lint, the Huffington Post questioned whether her propaganda might be considered ghoulish and exploitative -- that some might regard her as a parasite, taking advantage of burn victims in order to foment hysteria. She proudly concurred: "I've spent years in the trenches as a dedicated necromancer; very few people are qualified to pursue ghoul-work on this level."
Mayor Coderre intends to propose this legislation in late November, in an effort to have the Electric Blanket Ban in place before the ice storms settle in.
"And we're not going to stop there," said the mayor, with palpable excitement. "I don't want to be remembered as a 'bad' mayor. I aspire to be known as the 'worst' mayor in the history of Montreal. And so, come spring, we'll be introducing a strict citywide ban on all forms of lightning.
"To quote our one factual source: you are 'five times more likely to be killed by a bolt of lightning' than you are by a dog of any breed. That's scary stuff. We're confident that we can gin up real panic here. Note that this is not an entirely new idea: Barbara Kaymartt, a reporter at the National Post, has a long record of urging bans on lightning, along with her respected articles in favour of bans on pit bulls, Muslims, and women.
"We're being fiscally responsible. It cost the city a whole lot of money to demonstrate that our Breed Specific Legislation would fail utterly, and we intend to spend a fortune studying our proposed Electric Blanket Ban. But we've consulted a prominent Afro-Norwegian philosopher at McGill University, Prof. Canute King, and he has confirmed that we require no study whatsoever to demonstrate that a lightning ban is guaranteed to face-plant, and to win us international ridicule. That's right: rancid, pointless legislation, at no cost to the public beyond universal derision. And you know I can't resist a lose-lose situation."
