Alain Mercier - Compensation Package?

There are countries where a man is worth nothing; there are others where he is worth less than nothing.
Baron Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws, Volume II, Book XXIII, Section 17

Well, we all now know how to leave a job large. Just screw up early and often! The only thing that shocked the Oracle of Ottawa about this matter more than why the City just didn't leave it's former manager "under the bus" with nothing, is why Diane Deans appeared to be all choked up about it! Gee whiz! The City of Walmart regularly discharges union hands, often with over twenty years of good service, with nothing! No one seems to get very choked up about that. But the Oracle of Ottawa supposes it is that ethereal bond of the managing class that arises when one of the class invariably has to offered up to the great mass of the unwashed skidmarks in the symbol of sacrifice so that that the remaining weakness of the class can continue to subsist. Well at least until the next election.

Relief has finally arrived at OC Transpo....

Meanwhile down at the union office, the posh French bubbly flowed like the Ottawa River past Hull in springtime! The very rotund Gary Q. had the look of a very satisfied man. There will be, no doubt, very many more media opportunities for the rotund Gary to grab onto the Mayors podium with both hands to reassure the good stakeholders of the Great City of Ottawa that someone indeed has a full package, and is wearing the pants! It just isn't the guy that you voted for in the last municipal election....

John "The Don" Manconi is the newly annointed chief of the OC Transpo crew. Here is a guy that has gotten deeply in touch with his inner godfather. It is all simply a matter of being a stand up guy, and making sure that everyone knows "what it is"...

Good Riddance!! Everything, and I mean everything this actor touched transformed itself into a screw-up...
