Has FDS Spread To Winnipeg

FDS is, of course, Ford Derangement Syndrome (Ford being Rod Ford, mayor of Toronto). Like BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), which spread across the border and mutated to become Harper Derangement Syndrome, it seems a similar disorder is infecting our cities, too.

Seems some Winnipegers are out to get Mayor Katz.

I was living in Manitoba when Katz became mayor of Winnipeg. Although I didn't live in Winnipeg, Katz seemed to me to be a decent enough mayor.

What Katz did was a helluva lot more self-serving than what Ford did, too. But Katz is off the hook, and the judge got it right:

"The judge said Katz exhibited "bad political behaviour" and will have to be judged by the public at the next civic election in 2014. Throwing him out of office -- triggering a costly and time-consuming election -- would be the wrong move, she said."
