look at all the business owners all sitting around applauding their mayor on our dole

usually wouldnt bother me much till you realize they are all working together to destroy every working class man and women in our area

windsor city workers are not special interests they are my neighbours they are my garbage collector they are the people i deal with when i go inty the 400 building they are us they want to work but the longer you keep them out by not even attempting to negotiate in any way you are disrespecting them for your own interests talk to any one and i mean anyone who has ever negotiated a contract and this is an easy fix negotiate im sick of this strike you have let me down

this little man is a menace and ought to be run out of town on a rail. he's just lucky enough to be pulling the kind of shit he's pulling on his city in a country that happens to be as tolerant and as compassionate as is canada...

the chorus of walruses that make up our chamber of commerce are an embarrassment to business acumen everywhere. since these clapping dolts are our business leaders, is there really any wonder why windsor is in the sorry shape it is in?

[wiznhymer]

you better believe where this mayors interests are

hes a business man and hes working on behalf of these corporate giants or wannabes who believe the best worker is a broke and desperate worker

and with the help of government and the likes of eddie francis they will see to it that nobody has decent job in this city

sad very sad

Hope that your special little lunch was worth it. Not sure how it tasted with all that blood & tears in it but I'm sure that it was devoured with gusto.

[YellowRibbonTrees]

Hope they each have a monopoly in their particular line of business because if there is any choice to deal with them or not, well guess what that choice will be for the little people in this town. You know, the little people that you along with the help of your sponsors, have all "gleefully" (if I can steal your word) burnt to the ground.

[YellowRibbonTrees]

Scan of the crowd shows many business owners clapping at your lies and phoniness. Easy enough to pretend ignorance but they know too. These clapping business owners will be long-remembered in this city. Isn't it strange that the only ones that could afford to hear OUR City's very own State of the City address are the business owners of this community and not the common resident? Afraid you would get booed again like at the arena?

[YellowRibbonTrees]

Oh cry me a river Francis. Wondering if you told all of your fanclub how many of our city employees are not considered "employed" by the city of windsor. Not "employed" but working there for years and years and years.

[wiznhymer]

oh and i forgot

i continue to spend your tax dollars wisely

ughghg(i get those same benefits after 12 years)\i am not a cupe member but im telling you it makes me sick to see you use my tax dollars to spew your anti worker crap during my state of the city time

i payed for that lunch

i paid for that hall rental

i and all the hard workers of this city pay your wage ..with your post retirement benefits

and for you to attack the workers of this city

is not going to ever be forgotten

No arbitration. Stay strong Mr Francis.
