Our 1,000 $9-10.25 Per Hour Jobs

Wow, remember the Star headlines and the Henderson story with the unnamed "source" telling us about the great job that Eddie did to bring these high tech jobs to Windsor. All by himself too while he was doing everything else under the sun too to work harder for Windsor where our future starts sometime.

Here is the Press Release for the new jobs. Considering that, according to Gord Henderson and his source, Eddie Francis did so much, I was surprised that a statement from him was missing from the Press Release. Was he being paid back? Or was I right that he did nothing to get the jobs except to call Sandra in to salvage the situation for him!

Hmmmmm...no thanks given to Eddie either.

Clearly jobs are jobs but to replace the auto jobs lost, we need about 14,000 more call centre ones according to a calculation a reader gave me. The hype around the jobs was pathetic, just like Eddie's Super Bowl hype and what the money it would bring to Windsor. While the jobs are great news for relatively unskilled workers (just like any Super Bowl or World Series money is great too) why is it so necessary to try and fool citizens all the time! Tell us the truth; we can handle it

Another of my readers must be unhappy at work and must have stumbled across the ad for the workers (see below). How high tech can the jobs be at $9 per hour?


Ontario Government Attracts 1,000 High Value Jobs to Windsor
New Technical Support Centre To Help Diversify, Strengthen Windsor Economy

WINDSOR, ON, Nov. 2 /CNW/ - Economic Development and Trade Minister Sandra Pupatello was joined by Dwight Duncan, MPP for Windsor-St. Clair, Ashok Jain, Chief Operating Officer of Sutherland Global Services, and Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis to announce a new technical support centre in Windsor creating 1,000 high value jobs in this community.

"This is a huge win for Windsor," said Pupatello. "This investment is a real boost to this city's economy and a vote of confidence in its highly educated workforce. These are the kinds of investments that help put Windsor and the rest of Ontario on the radar screen to attract other innovative businesses."

Sutherland Global Services (SGS) will provide advanced technical support for personal computer users. The new Windsor operation, set to open December 15, 2006, will phase in hiring and training for technical support agents in diagnostics and troubleshooting. SGS will hire 75 agents starting mid-November and another 500 agents in March 2007. One thousand full time positions will be filled by March 2008.

Windsor is part of a growing trend as Ontario attracts more high-end technical support centers.

This is meeting a North American consumer demand for technical support services closer to home.

"We're grateful to Sutherland Global Services for choosing Ontario," Pupatello added. "We know it's because of the quality of Windsor's workforce, and the competitive advantage Ontario offers through lower corporate tax rates, health care, and telecommunications costs."

"This is great news for Windsor and this entire region," said Duncan. "This technical support centre is the result of our government's aggressive efforts to bring good jobs and more opportunity to workers and families in this community. We're helping diversify Windsor's local economy and promote our strong, skilled workforce."

Windsor is the third SGS operation in Ontario. The company operates two technical support centres in Sault Ste. Marie employing 1,300 people.

Citing the abundant skilled labour, the continued support of the Government of Ontario and the spirit of partnership demonstrated by the City of Windsor, Sutherland's Chief Operating Officer Ashok Jain said, "We thank the Province of Ontario for being supportive of our investment and look forward to working with them and the people of Windsor in supporting the region's economic growth."

UPDATE

--EDDIE'S SEPARATE PRESS RELEASE

New technology company to add 1,000 jobs to Windsor

Sutherland Global Services, an international operator of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and a leader in Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) announced today that it will open a technology response centre at College Avenue and Huron Church Road in Windsor.

The new facility will initially employ over 100 technical customer service agents and will ramp up to over 1,000 employees over the next two years.

“We are very excited by the prospect of adding this new dimension to our knowledge based economy. We welcome Sutherland to our community,” said Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis. “Windsor has a great manufacturing base and knowledge based services such as those offered by Sutherland are exactly the kind of continuing economic diversification that we encourage.”

Mayor Francis, Ontario Economic Development and Trade Minister Sandra Pupatello, and the Honourable Dwight Duncan MPP-Windsor St. Clair, welcomed Sutherland to Windsor in a news conference today. The company offers technical support operations in business processes and information technology for a variety of clients.

(I guess Eddie needed one since the Provincial one ignored him. His release snubs them, again!)

More Inside City Hall Stuff

The stories keep rolling in:

1. Is Sandra desperate for Eddie's help as Gord Henderson suggested (hardly since she is the one responsible for bringing the "high-tech" jobs here) or is Eddie desperate for Sandra's help as her two photos on his website seem to demonstrate


2. Why is Eddie Francis chickening out? When will Eddie ("Perry Mason") Francis debate Dr. Dave (Wonham) on Windsor election issues or is he afraid to be cross-examined on his less than stellar 3-year performance? Eddie can dish it out but cannot take it as the episode with Alan MacKinnon at the Windsor Council meeting in Tecumseh demonstrated. It's a lot tougher being an incumbent with a record to justify isn't it.


3. Why won't Eddie tell us in his election brochure that our long term debt is projected to be by 2007--$217 million ($56 M higher than now) and by 2010--$191 million ($30M higher than now) and that does not include the $206 million employee future benefit obligation (as at 2004).


4. How many times is "Schwartz" mentioned on Eddie's website (If you go there to count, let him know that this BLOG sent you there)


5. Which mayoral candidate who has been Mayor for 3 years and is so supportive of the environment did not answer the questionnaire of the Citizens Environmental alliance. To read other candidate responses go to http://www.citizensenvironmentalliance.org/


6. Yikes...should we trust anything that Administration estimates. The funky bus teminal costs increased by 35% and Administration seemed to fail to grasp that. Now Councillor Halberstadt warns us that the downtown streetscaping costs have tripled in only 3 years. My goodness, what will the arena really cost. We won't know though, confidentiality for business interests, solicitor-client privilege, and in camera secrecy will all be trotted out somehow to keep the real news from us until after the election, if ever. The typical Danish professor "mega-project" syndrome at work


7. Who on Council is known affectionately as "Glass Jaw"


8. Will Council ask their new Public Works head, Dev Tyagi, to do a report on why Sarnia built a twinned bridge and not one downriver as was proposed there (as well as in Windsor)? Probably not, since they will not like his answer even though I thought he was familiar with what was decided at the Blue Water bridge and why. I guess he just has to carry out Council's directives


9. Oh my goodness, is Dennis DesRosiers right about how to make Windsor's auto future brighter (Area's research image growing.. Climbing ranks in national survey...Windsor's reputation for innovation is growing, a leading automotive expert said Tuesday, as indicated by a new survey ranking the city among the top in Canada for research)


10. Which member of the Windsor-Essex Development Commission Board is married to an Ontario PC party insider


11. Is that insider the one who courted Eddie before for Ernie Eves and is that person doing so again for the next election for John Tory or is Tory working directly with Eddie's Eminence Grise


12. Which member of the Windsor-Essex Development Commission Board is married to someone with close connections to the Spitfires


13. If Susan Whelan won't run in the next election, who is being talked about as being the Liberal nominee and with whom on the Board is he related to?


14. Which Councillors are being rumoured to be thinking about running for the 3 main parties for Joe Comartin's seat if he retires. Will it be a mini-municipal election?


15. Which member of the Windsor-Essex Development Commission Board is being considered for a political job and probably a senior cabinet position if he/she chooses to run


16. How much is the "sizeable amount of money to be spent on legal fees" with David Estrin and who are the "enemies."


17. Which member of the Windsor-Essex Development Commission Board has website which has been "Coming soon" (just like Eddie's until the other day) since it was created on Sep 24, 2004


18. What companies which are rumoured to have an agreement at Canderel and an agreement at the East End arena have a person in common and who is he/she?


19. Is the Windsor-Essex Development Commission Board Windsor's Senate?

As an aside, David Wonham told me that his daily hits (which were fairly constant per day) increased significantly after the brief mention I gave his www.windsorcitycouncil.com website the other day. Yuppers, he owns it not the City. I wonder what will happen after this second mention.

Hmmm what this means to me is that my BLOGs are being read by a lot more people that I ever suspected. Obviously, the BLOGS are being forwarded by people to those on their own mailing lists who never come to my BLOGsite for a "hit" to register.

DRTP Green Solution: It's All About Our Money

It had to happen finally. Gord Henderson and I agree on something. We are on the same side on one big issue in town: the DRTP Tunnel just won't cut it.

I just can't help my feeling that DRTP are just a bunch af cry-babies and whiners. All that they have done for months is demand that others help them. Why don't they just do something already themselves. You know private enterprise initiative and all of that.

The Green Solution wanted to be the new border crossing. Then they wanted to link up their corridor to the Ambassador Bridge (Hmmmm I wonder whatever happened to that idea). Now they are back promoting themselves as a border crossing again.

They want to be part of the DRIC process again---why??? That process kicked them out and wants them out. Why just the other night at the DRIC CCG meeting, DRIC again said that they had no interest in looking at DRTP again since the project below ground also does not work. Why keep banging your head against a brick wall? When Minister Cansfield says that you are done, shouldn't you get the message?

The Ambassador Bridge, a private enterprise proponent, is in exactly the same position. The difference is that they have not gone into creating pretty artist' renditions, new websites and Powerpoint presentations but actually moved forward on their own to get their project built. They are going through the environmental process on both sides of the river. Being the only party that does not need a US Presidential permit probably helps as well. Even DRIC needs one and based on a US Department of State letter, they may never be able to get one either.

Why doesn't DRTP just do the same? They can thumb their nose at DRIC and go forward. DRIC have said countless times that private parties are free to work outside of the process to get their project approved. Didn't Mike Hurst hear that yet? The Bridge people did.

Hurst is spending the $$$ again as he did before on the massive billboard campaign. This time around it is one-on-one sessions with candidates for Council and Councillors, influential decision-makers in town and Government people. We see again the 3/4 page Star ads and the flyers being mailed to households. It is all very attractive if you do not know the facts and want something that superficially seems to meet the needs of the people. But didn't we have that years before with the old above-ground DRTP project?

The DRTP Green Solution is a joke. Read again my BLOG on Tuesday, May 23, 2006: "Understanding DRTP." DRTP's lawyer at the Rail By-law hearing did not concede that one inch of the corridor needed tunnelling. Where are the "sensitive lands?" Frankly, why should anything be tunnelled if one accepts what the DRTP lawyer says? Tunnelling becomes a huge waste of taxpayer money.

Money: that is the key. DRTP cannot afford the billions needed to tunnel especially when they know that diesel pollution within the decade will be a thing of the past with the changes to diesel truck technology and fuels. Governments know this since they wrote the laws. Minister Cansfield mentioned that in her speech to the Chamber. Heck, DRTP needed $150M of taxpayer money with their old project.

This Green Solution exercise is Mike's last attempt to try and get someone to buy the DRTP corridor. OMERS and CP have invested too much money into it and need to write it off or write it down. They dare not do so before the Financial Services Commission of Ontario completes its investigation into OMERS. It would help them greatly if someone took it off their hands right now.

The "Green" Solution---it is about the "green." The green colour of money!

PS. Councillor Dave Brister must be in big trouble in Ward One or thinks he is. Gord says "Brister... can't afford sprawling, full-colour ads to make his case" and so gives him a nice plug.

But Dave may be lucking out. One opponent of his who is running a very good campaign is Greg Baggio. He obviously supports "A Tunneled Border Solution" as he states on his website. However, did he make a fatal mistake? His mobile signs are located on DRTP property on Dougall. Did Mike give him permission to do so? Is Greg a DRTP-supporter? One can support a tunnel but NOT support DRTP. Will South Windsor take out on Greg his seeming DRTP relationship such that it will cost him votes?

Schnurr MFOI Application

Hot off the presses and as filed yesterday. Here is Chris Schnurr's application to try and break the web of secrecy around the various recent Windsor deals that taxpayers are not supposed to see.

If he becomes Councillor will he actually get the information? I doubt if he will ever see it as a mere citizen! Perhaps that is a reason in itself to vote for Chris since the incumbent Councillors throughout the City are doing nothing to give us this information and are following the Mayor's secrecy lead!

• Coordinator Council and Customer Services, Room 203,
  350 City Hall Square West
  Windsor, ON N9A 6S1
  
  To Whom it May Concern:
  
  In accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information Act, I am formally requesting copies of the records as defined in the Act listed below:
  
  1. All agreements, including, but not limited to, any leases, rent inducement agreements, lease improvement agreements, concession, advertising and ticket agreements, arena naming agreements, management agreement between the City of Windsor, the Windsor Spitfires and their associated organizations, companies and partners relating to the East End arena;
  2. All parking agreements with respect to the Canderel building, including but not limited to the agreement with “The Keg”;
  3. All leases, subleases and other agreements between the City of Windsor and its lessees and sub-lessees respecting the Canderel building;
  
  Please forward the above requested information to the attention of Chris Schnurr,
  
  Sincerely,

Beneteau Interview: John Fairley's The Man

Another great inteview by John Fairley on Face-to-Face. This time of Marty Beneteau, the Editor of the Star. No wonder Councillor Brister was the only Councillor NOT to appear on John's show this year. He must have been afraid that John would rip him to shreds, in the nicest possible way of course!

As you know my issue with the Star is their failure to report on the fact that one of its Editors, John Coleman, is married to the Mayor of Windsor's Chief of Staff, Norma Coleman. We learned that not only is Beneteau aware of the possible conflict but so is the Star's publisher, and right from the start.

Beneteau tried to deflect the issue by saying that John is a man of the highest integrity. Who has doubted that? That's not the issue and it should not be personalized that way at all.

The issues are the Star's failure to report something that its subscribers should have known about a long time ago, not just a week before the election and its hypocrisy in running the story "Politicians' roles in media decried." The Star had the chance to talk about its situation as it discussed that of others but it chose not to do so.

The explanation given by Beneteau was very enlightening. You decide for yourself its significance:

• he gave no reason why the relationship was never reported
• he gave no explanation why Norma's appointment was made as it was
• we learned that John Coleman is Gord Henderson's editor, that they work collaboratively together and that they hash out ideas together
• we also learned that John Coleman does not take part in any discussions when it comes to the Mayor's office and recuses himself from the debate (but what about issues that impact the political position of the Mayor such as the border or the arena or Police Board or the coroner's inquest demand---is John involved?)
• we learned that Beneteau's Publisher helps him in navigating this
• we never did learn what John actually is allowed to do in his job and what he cannot do
• compare what the Star did with that done by the other papers mentioned.

Interestingly, I received this morning an email from a candidate sent to his mailing list complaining about the Star's coverage. Is it sour grapes from a candidate complaining about an incumbent getting in the press for doing his job. Or a complaint that is legitimate about how the Star is helping an incumbent get re-elected. The never-ending debate. You decide:

• "Dear friends,
  
  Do you want our local paper to fair, even and unbiased? If so please call or mail the Windsor Star. In the last 30 days one of my opponents has been mentioned in 14 different articles, and multiple times within the articles, the other 3 times and myself twice.
  
  The latest instance was by a columnist... "

Are the Election Campaign Gloves Finally Off

Perhaps the quiet campaign is going to get a bit more interesting over the next 2 weeks. Have we gone through the "Phony War" period and now the direct attacks will start? Or rather, to be less negative and more politically correct, candidates will point out the flaws in the record of the incumbents.

I am aware who David Wonham's campaign manager is based on some research I did. Roseann Danese did a description of him in her Star Blog. I expect that the David's campaign will be more "guerilla warfare" than the usual mayoral type campaigning, obviously because Wonham started so late. Depending on what the campaign manager can do (and campaign money is the key factor whether he can do much), Eddie should be very, very afraid over the 12 days. I wonder if this is why Eddie finally "came out!" on his Website. I expect that Eddie takes him and his challengers seriously because NO mayoral debate has been set up as far as I know (except perhaps one on CBC TV). He knows that his record of non-achievement makes him very vulnerable to attack.

The Ward with the most fun so far is Ward 4 with the charges made against Councillor Lewenza Jr. The first Star headline was "Marra accuses Lewenza Jr. of intimidating his supporters." Then the next was "CUPE's stance angers Lewenza: Union splits endorsement."

These actions by Ken seem to be a far cry from his earlier, more gentlemanly comment "Bill is a good person, David is a good person; unfortunately one of the three of us is going down," but more in keeping with his remark "when asked, Lewenza Jr. immediately shot into offensive mode, pointing out that Marra previously said he needed a few weeks to decide whether to run for mayor or council. That was about one month ago. "Just let him mire in indecisiveness," Lewenza Jr. snapped."

I wonder if Ken Jr. has to worry. Will Gord Henderson write a nice column a few days before the eelction about him just as he did when Ken Jr. made his infamous anti-Labour Council diatribe and slamming as well, his opponent, the potential Leader of the Opposition to Eddie?

Ward 2 is getting warmer with the growing battle between candidate Chris Schnurr and Councillor Caroline Postma. I saw the Cogeco speech that Chris gave and he talked about the clean-up that he and his group did around the Boundless Playground removing drug needles and other drug paraphernalia. That is a direct challenge to what helped get Caroline elected, Ward clean-ups.

In the Star the other day, we again saw their differences on Council secrecy. Postma claims that personnel and legal matters meant "To me, we've done nothing wrong because these are issues we've had to deal with."

The Star reported that "Chris Schnurr has made [Council secrecy] one of his main election issues. He said the city of Victoria was forced to release parts of an agreement with a contractor hired to build a new arena after the province's information and privacy officer got involved. "If you're hiding it from the public, how can the public make an informed decision about whether or not they should support this?"

As for the arena, Schnurr said "This is a perfect example on a variety of files the city is dragging its feet on... The arena issue has been going on for more than 20 years. But the Town of Tecumseh welcomed them with open arms." All Postma could say was "I'm disappointed and quite frankly a little shocked," she said. "To play off two municipalities is wrong. I don't like to use the term bad faith. But sitting at a table with me and answering my questions about a proposal that seemed like a good idea for Windsor - - while having started negotiations with another municipality two months earlier -- is outrageous. I feel right now almost like I have been stabbed in the back." It would seem that the Mayor did not share the 7/11 letter with her or she would have known the facts! If he did, then her protestations were phony.

Oh, as for Dan Petoran, his website went from "Coming soon" to "The page cannot be displayed" to finally going live! A candidate of action I see whose website is still not complete.

When Schnurr asks Postma why the seniors in Huron Lodge that she was so concerned about cannot have their $1,000 of Tylenol tablets since we have so much money available for a $70-75M or more arena that won't increase our taxes ("Read my lips. No Arena taxes"), then we will know there is a war going on in that Ward!

I have heard that Tony Blak is causing real problems for the two incumbents in Ward 3 by his attacks at public sessions on their "fiscal responsibility." I spent 3 hours talking with Tony recently. It's a shame that he is not better known since I think he could make a great Councillor! He might gain a lot of votes this time at the expense of the 2 incumbents but can he beat one of them is the question.

But where the real battle is starting is in Ward 1. That's always the toughest Ward with the most Councillor changes. Don't tell me that Tom Lynd didn't get a big boost-up in the Star "secrecy" story. Frankly, that was a direct hit at Councillor STOPDRTP who was so vocal about "betrayals" at Council in camera session on DRTP but who has been party to many hour of secret border discussions as an elected official. Here is what Tom said:

• "I think that's deplorable," said Ward 1 candidate Tom Lynd. "To me, in my opinion, that's really high."
  
  Lynd should know. He was city clerk for 15 years and worked at city hall for 30. He was secretary of a committee in the late 1970s that developed one of the first Freedom of Information bylaws in the province, later used as a provincial model by the Bob Rae government.
  
  "We were the model then and we seem to be just the opposite now."

But if you want to see a war, a real war, then check out Al Teshuba's Blogsite and his BLOG www.alteshuba.com Now I happen to think that Al, and others, are misguided on tunnel advocacy as I have written. They are playing to the masses without really thinking about the issue. They seem to think that Windsor deserves a tunnel because Eddie talks "quality of life" or Hurst runs nice "Powerpoint" presentations so he can get CP's and Borealis' money back. Al and the others just don't listen to the decision-makers.

But that's ok..let Al be passionate about the issue and try to achieve it. After all, he spent HIS money on the conference earlier this year on tunnelling. It is something no one else has done.

However his latest BLOG "Will Ward #1 Vote for Border/Infrastructure Invisibility & Indecisiveness?" drops the gloves. Using the border as his issue, and all the time he has spent on it, he goes after one candidate for his seeming lack of interest on the border and his alleged flipflopping. For Councillor STOPDRTP, he asks where he has been on the BIG issue that got him elected and won him the most votes last time of all of the Councillors. He talks about "invisible" candidates.

I'll give him credit for one great line and for making the Ward 1 race more interesting:

• "Hiring a Toronto lawyer to mostly represent "the Corporation of the City of Windsor’s interest" on this file, instead of elected officials representing the "People of the City of Windsor", is not a very productive nor efficient approach."

UPDATE:

The smears are on too. I received an email yesterday that is about the dirtiest piece of "campaign literature" I have ever seen trying to destroy one of the candidates in Ward 1! Who its author is, I do not know. The copy I was sent came from a G-Mail account which is anonymous! It talks about something that happened about 15 years ago. But then again, there was the unsubstantiated gossip that circulated door-to-door that helped destroy another candidate in Ward 1 last time.

I believe that it was sent to some of the media at least (and who knows how many others) and timed beautifully: the day before the Star Ward 1 candidate profiles were to be published!

Geeeeez, this is politics at the Municipal level for heaven's sake. Who is that desperate to do this? Is it just Ward 1 that is this dirty or I wonder if there is the equivalent in other Wards as well and I have just not seen or heard about it yet.
