Another slow news day
Good thing that I am not a news editor at a top level Canadian daily. It must be really difficult to fill all that white space around the ads on certain days. Like today. A report that certain neigbourhoods in Charlottetown have been invaded by crows, and the city council is searching for a solution.
I feel like I’m reading a paper copy of Slashdot. Didn’t that particular issue get a workout months ago, online and off? Haven’t all the stakeholders had their say? I fear for those poor tourists, currently planning their golf vacations for the next season, pondering the personal risk involved with too many crows.
I wonder if the fellow that did such a great job of ridding the local paper mill of invasion of seagulls is available. He showed remarkable “diligence under fire” several years ago, gathering freshly laid eggs. Instead of going into the omelette trade, he “drowned” each and every egg in a bucket of mineral oil, so as to avoid any pain to the embryonic flying rats. The result; no more gulls (there). Maybe he has a tree-climbing division that could wreak similar havoc in Victoria Park. Just a thought.
On other fronts, the … Sorry, there were no other fronts today. Another slow news day, I guess.
