Mayor to Slave in Paris

Thursday, November 02, 2006 04:00 AM

When Colin Hansen, Minister of Economic Development and Minister of the Asia Pacific Initiative and the Olympics comes to Prince George on November 16th, he won’t be meeting with Mayor Colin Kinsley.

The Mayor may have inadvertently hit “Reply to All,” when he sent this E-mail from CKinsley@city.pg.ca to the organizers of a PG Chamber of Commerce luncheon. The luncheon organizers were not the only ones to get the following note:

-------------------------

From: "Kinsley, Colin" <CKinsley@city.pg.bc.ca>
Date: October 31, 2006 6:13:29 PM PST
Subject: Re: Minister Colin Hansen luncheon

My regrets, I will be slaving away on municipal financial matters in Paris
Colin
--------------------------

Opinion250 contacted the MFA (Municipal Finance Authority) of which Colin Kinsley is listed as the Vice Chair, with a view to determining what the trip to “Paris” is all about.

We have left messages both phone and E-mail, for Executive Director, Steve Berna. We also left a message for the Assistant Director Allison Boyd.

They have yet to "reply to all."

Who is Paris?

As a local physician, I've encountered, sadly, a number of cases of Reply To All Syndrome, or RTAS.

RTAS is a socially debilitating disease, one that has ruined countless careers and families throughout North America and the literate world.

Luckily, there's hope...

RTAS continues to be one of the most HILARIOUS syndromes around, right up there with Turett's Syndrome and Uncontrollable Flatulence.

Maybe he means Paris Ont., and suburb of Brant Ont. ????

He's gone to Paris to see how dissidents do there voting and riot control. Going to Ontario would not be cool for our Mayor. He's a world trveler.

Cheers

Maybe he will stay there.....we sure don't need him, as we seem to do quite well whithout him...I am really curious to hear his "STORY"....I probably won't beleive it , but I wan't to hear it anyways...
One more reason not to vote for him...not that I did before!

Paris Hilton, perhaps?

I suppose the citizens of PG will be billed for several crates of Kleenex so he can keep the persperation from his brow caused by all that hard work. Naturally it will all be on our behalf. Never know he might get the French tiddlywinks team to train in PG before the Olympics.

Honest to goodness,

Is it just me or is our Mayor the same as Diamond Joe Quimby on the Simpsons?

I tried to email him at that address, but it came back as undeliverable errors.

Too bad....I wanted to ask what the weather was like there, and if he is eating well, and the bed comfy enough.
I guess I will just have to try him on his next trip to Disney land, or Hawaii instead.
