Recently, we had a conversation with Councillor Lisa Robinson regarding the Mayor Ashe Corn Roast and the appearance of the REBEL NEWS mobile news truck. Robinson stated she had nothing to do with the appearance of the truck. Try as I may, I find it very difficult to believe Robinson.
Politicians are notorious for playing loosely with truth and facts. We feel Mayor Ashe hosted this event as cleanly, free from politics as possible. Not once did he mention an issue, a political cause, a political promise. He hosted the event in what seemed like a totally non political way.
On the other hand, the REBEL NEWS truck appeared and circled the event displaying a message. It was a political message, criticizing the Mayor, criticizing the Councillors, claiming the Council was restricting democracy, touting Lisa Robinson as if she were a political victim of Council control and restriction.
It is far beyond coincidence that a Mayor Ashe-launched event that promoted no political facets should have the REBEL NEWS truck appear with its political commentary. Lisa Robinson’s claim that she had nothing to do with it is an unbelievable stretch of fact. There is no possibility her declaration can be completely truthful.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire
Robinson needs to do some serious introspection. When the entire Council along with the Mayor opposes what she says, she may not be completely free from some culpability or fault. When surrounded by smoke, it seems like declaring there’s no fire is not quite the truth. Robinson may be smokin’ something if she cannot smell all that is being whiffed around her from the mayor and council.
Something smells in the state of Pickering, and the source of the smell is very obvious, and maybe the question is how can we clear the air? It’s a political question.
