Attitude Therapist?

ROTFL ... thanks for that link -- here I was thinking we were home to an ex-member of The Band but now I see we're being represented to Council by a different Robbie Robertson, and sure enough, most of us know him as half of the Beach-stage favourites Feelin' Good (and a decent drummer IIRC), but his main gig is as an "Attitude Therapist" --- I've personally held many sweet business cards in my day (including "Chief Weapons Officer" for the publisher Beatty and Church), but this one is right up there. How does someone land a monicker like that and (more to the point) get paid to do it?

Excuse my snarkiness, maybe I just need some intensive attitude therapy; it just sounds to me too much like a label with a bad reputation slipping the rap by creative renaming, like 'sanitation engineer' -- ok, I'll plead extended Cabin Fever and impending Pre-Pipeline Stress Syndrom. The strangeness of what the world will buy never ceases to amaze, astound and amuse.

I want to rename it Toronto Beach

Have to admit, after being a part of Sauble Beach since 1982..I have never seen any such petition either.Maybe we should have one during the summer months when all owners are up here? I think I know the difference between a referendum and an election, a referendum is based on ONE issue only, but in an election, you vote for a candidate that runs on several issues, but hey..people are reinventing the term democracy all the time.I just wonder how 200 years of my ancestors survived in Canada using an outhouse and OH GOSH well water.some people think otherwise.I am wondering what demand will come next..maybe large breakwaters to prevent the natural ice and snow from closing lakeshore boulevard?? Yes..lets make Sauble a copy of Trawna.
I would rather my taxes go up and go to education and the future of not only the children in the area, but our futures as well.I have said many time over and over again..they are the most important things.Lets keep it in perspective.And..please..contribute to the feeding the children fund at places like Greenhorns.No child should go to school hungry.

Two more pieces on the Echo website on the continuing saga of council's great soliloquy "To pipeline or not to pipeline, that is the question...

Council continues to wrestle tells the story of the March 22nd council, the calls for a referendum and for severing ties with Power Budd; Carl Noble cautioned that, like dogs, federal funding agents might smell 'fear' in any signs that people were actually thinking about what they would do with all that money.
Robbie Robinson calls for action, citing some referendum I'd never seen, but nonetheless Robbie thinks, as many pipers do, it's been enough of the thinking already, and that this is simply and purely a choice of sewers now or a cesspool damnation.
