To the CCA, I'd like to offer a recommendatioin for my employment from the illustrious cycling writer and TV Commentator, Patrick Van de Wille. As you are well aware Mr. Van de Wille has been around the sport for a long time, not as long as me, but long nevertheless, many people think he knows his stuff.
Here is what Mr. Van de Wille had to say about my cycling knowledge: Quote: Originally Posted by Patty the Lapsed Canuck "Whoa boy, I think it's silly to say I have better knowledge of cycling than Ed. My own list of racing accomplishments is very, very scarce (though I did win one of the two races I entered, riding Chris Firek's too-tall bike and dressed up in the Ultramar Bear suit for the celebrity race). My only claim is spectator- and journalist-side." [font=Bookman Old Style]Posted on Pedal Magazine Web Forum: Tue Feb 01, 2005 1:07 am[/font] Thank you.
To be a fly on the wall at the CCA offices to hear the roar of laughter when you sent this email in, Fausto. (I mean, Ed. Fausto, whoever.)

In looking at the thread it showed on my computer that he had responded right after your previous response. When I went to look - not there. So I then posted the above and since then you have responded. His response was missing
If he was banned, I'm sure he is already walking to his neighbours to use their computer lol. Wonder what his new name will be?
Good day sirs, need to get back to work.

Fausto, or someone like him will always be here! I'm reminded of Tom Joad's goodbye to his mom in Steinbeck's, "The Grapes of Wrath", "(He'll) be all around...Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat...Whenever there's a cop beating a guy, I'll be there...And when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build. I'll be there too."

Sorry, fellas, but Fausto is still here.

But you can understand how someone might draw the wrong conclusions, right, based on the fact that all the people involved - the state senator, the new chairman (and senator's longtime employee), the old chairman (and former mayoral candidate, and now executive director), and building manager (and former campaign worker for the mayoral candidate who is now his boss at the theatre, and part-time worker for the state senator, and who draws a paycheque signed by the senator's longtime employee, who is also chairman of the theatre's board) - seem to be involved with each other in a number of ways, some of them related to the theatre's operation using public funds and some of them partisan political work.
So, as a non-employee, Naima Kradjian signed all the theatre's filings with the IRS since at least 2002, founded and was chairman of the project since 2000, but didn't hire you (that was done during her absence, by the longtime employee of the state senator to whom you donate your time and who is now chairman of the theatre's board). All above board. Excellent.
I can only hope that this is an example of the kind of transparence you will bring to your job at the CCA. Tally-ho!
Man, what a spanking. The eternal [censored] about corruption found bilking taxpayer money through a not-for-profit. Flush the dope and bury the weapons, Ed, looks like the cops might be paying another visit.
[censored] man! Look what crawled out from under her rock!!!
No worries everything is above board alright.
You kids are in way over your head on this one. These folks run the state. They do things by the book.
Van de Wille can try to insinuate that something is wrong but, believe me, there have been many more people with much better resources who have been all through this and found there was nothing improper.
Nice try, though.
I'm amazed at how Van de Wille and PeeininNeppean obsess over rme. It is flattering.
About all Van de Wille has brought to light is that I am very well-employed and well-connected here and really don't need the CCA job, I only what to see things improved.
Great post. Nothing like a misogynistic and homophobic remark to a) get you banned again and b) prove you could never, and will never, work for any Canadian governmental position again.

Oh, you're a woman, or a [censored]. It is obvious.
I have ABSOLUTLEY NO PROBLEM with gays or lesbians in sport, "bring me your poor huddled masses of queens and dikes", I could not care less.
I have a BIG problem with transsexuals racing with women.
Racing on the Canadian National Team is NOT A CIVIL RIGHT. If it were you and I could be on the start line in Salzburg.
BTW, I have a brother in Montreal who is gay and, after working ten years at the doors of nightclubs in downtown Montreal, I happen to know a few transsexuals. I know the difference believe me, you fool.
That's great you "know a gay person" and you've "know some transsexuals." That's really incredible.
Racing on the national team isn't a civil right? So what rights do transsexuals have, and have not?
I'll have to check yoour illegibblee ressponsse tmorrrow Fausto The Pretender. I have plans.
