I'm always up for a chuckle, but the fact that a city councillor took the time/money to have this cartoon made when much larger issues are pressing is pretty sad.

Why is the traffic system in this city so poor? I was told once that it's very sophisticated but we don't use all the features available. Why is that?

The deer were here first, leave them be and let's deal with bigger issues like traffic, cleanliness, the city's debt and development charges.

The deer are just a vehicle for a few light-hearted jabs. Check 0:14 for a nod to the traffic situation.

I love the utilization of the awful coloured tree!

I learned decades ago that a little humour on issues of the day goes a long way to enhancing our understanding of them.

Frankly, a humourless world is one I want no part of.

hilarious...I luv your videos

[BSuttonQuaid]

Regarding the deer cull specifically, which is one of the topics in this video. The decision to cull or not should be calculated science. Emotional decision making is wasteful and more often than not it actually causes harm despite good intentions.

Should a cull be the recommendation of wildlife experts, let me suggest a special archery hunting season which will generate income rather than expense. There is no sense in spending money when money can be made from the same actions.

[BSuttonQuaid]

Reaching out to the public and creating a more informed populous is NOT a waste of time. Debate and controversy are healthy parts of politics. Insults and emotional decision making are not. Behave yourself.

[SuperJeepdude]

I was unable to edit my spelling mistake- many apologies. I still beleive the video is childish and posting it reflects a lack of professionalism I expect of our city councillors.

[wamma7]

Well, at least learn how to spell city councillor.

As for ignoring the two-minute idling by-law, why on earth would you want to waste fuel and foster pollution?

[SuperJeepdude]

I might be a joke, but then again I'm not a city cousellor representing the city of London posting stupid cartoons on the internet. At least we have an idling bylaw that is so ridiculous most will ignore it..  Wonderful work counsellor.

[wamma7]

No, YOU are a joke, SuperJeepdude.

[SuperJeepdude]

It's nice to see that with all the serious problems city hall SHOULD be dealing with that the counsellor has time to waste on poking fun at a problem that is an irritant to people in my ward. Better yet Nancy, why don't you set down your computer for a few days and get to work on reducing my municipal taxation which has spiralled completely out of control for the past 10 years in a row. Or how about googling "job creation" as our local unemployment rate is so wonderfully high. You ARE a joke.

Great stuff Nancy, you and the killer bees are a breathe of fresh air at City Hall!
