Citizens Protecting Ojibway Wilderness Head Ousted

There was turmoil this week at the headquarters of CPOW. In a shocking turn of events, I have learned that Alan McKinnon may have been ousted in a bloodless coup as the head of this environmentalist group and replaced by...Mayor Eddie Francis!

Yes, you read that right. That Alan McKinnon, the strong supporter of Ojibway, the one who attacked the Mayor's inaction at the City's Tecumseh Council meeting and who was cross-examined by Eddie "perry mason" Francis may have been replaced by the Mayor as the voice of the endangered species and Prairie Grass of Ojibway.

The Mayor of Windsor, the man who supported the Schwartz proposal and its route to a new border crossing has made a dramatic switch. Eddie has become a Born-Again Environmentalist.

An insider at CPOW sent me this secret memo that was circulated to all CPOW members:

• "Perhaps you missed it, but Eddie may have had a change of heart.
  
  We need more people like him who are willing to stand up and say "NO!" when people try to undo the work and sacrifice of previous generations by developing protected natural areas of Ojibway.
  
  His bold and courageous stand against surrendering 50 acres of Tom Joy Woods/Ojibway Park to an arena project is an inspiration to all defenders of Ojibway.
  
  We hope to hear from him soon on the even greater threat posed to protected areas of Ojibway by the Schwartz Plan."
  
  

Of course none of this is true. It's all a joke. My reader sent me the following note. "I know no one from the media will point out the hypocrisy of the Mayor's "50 acre" dealbreaker. I am hoping to see it in your blog at some point though. It is galling.

So there it is. You are most welcome.
