City Hall needs a sense of ha-ha 2014-06-17Peter Humphreys’ last couple of humourous signs must have struck a nerve at City Hall. First he put up one that said, “We look like a town but spend like a city.” Then, in reference to City Council’s decision to repeal an ancient — but never used — bylaw prohibiting anyone from starting an escort service, he put up a sign that said, “Pedro’s Escort Agency Opening Soon.” Someone didn’t like those signs and soon municipal bureaucrats were demanding that he stop posting his funny messages. Now, as you can see, someone is mourning the loss of the sign’s laugh-a-minute signs by dropping off flowers. You, too, can register a message with City Hall by leaving your own mourning bouquet at the sign in Farwell Plaza. Let’s see how many bouquets it takes to make our public servants understand that there’s nothing wrong with a public sense of ha-ha. David F. Rooney photo
