How will Pitfield address the serious problem of people in highrises not recycling (given our trash crisis, even highrise tenants and condo dwellers have to recycle)?talk talk talk / Shireenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453931641034885060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218227.post-1134956801673286302005-12-18T20:46:00.000-05:002005-12-18T20:46:00.000-05:00I thought he was an NDPer -- he was certainly part...I thought he was an NDPer -- he was certainly part of the NDP bloc that ran in the last election.

But Miller would not have upstaged them; he would've leant political authority to their words. He is the leader of Toronto, not Dr. Low, not Dr. McKeown. It was Miller's job to provide political calm and satiate the media sharks. He has a calm way of speaking, and so he could've done that.<BR/><BR/>However, with just the medical experts talking, I didn't see any let-up in media hysteria in Toronto -- it went on so long that the international media finally got wind of it. You could almost see the Toronto media being tickled pink with that!talk talk talk / Shireenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453931641034885060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218227.post-1128828144119521542005-10-08T23:22:00.000-04:002005-10-08T23:22:00.000-04:00...Dr. Donald Low, chief microbiologist at Mount S......Dr. Donald Low, chief microbiologist at Mount Sinai.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12218227.post-1128827961712409492005-10-08T23:19:00.000-04:002005-10-08T23:19:00.000-04:00Miller was exactly where he should have been – let...Miller was exactly where he should have been – letting this town's highly-qualified, highly articulate senior medical experts adroitly talk the media down from their alarmism. Chief Medical Officer of Health David McKeown did so on NewsNight the first night, and that infectious diseases guy whose name escapes me was on Lou Dobbs the next night. (The infamously pissy) Dobbs introduced him as a friend of the program, he told Dobbs everything was solved and it wasn't human-to-human contagious, the cycle was over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
