BURLINGTON, ON
Lisa Kearns has made it to the big screen.
Kearns on TV – Sound of music is a BIG deal
A spot on the CHCH TV red couch that has been taken up by Mayor Meed Ward much of the time has now featured Kearns who was there to exude what the Sound of Music means to the city.
The interesting news was that there is a free shuttle bus service from the Burlington Centre (formerly the Mall) parking lot to downtown Burlington.
More on the shuttle service:
School buses will be used to transport people
Shuttle Stops:
Hudson’s Bay @ Burlington Centre 777 Guelph Ln.
Downtown Burlington @ Lakeshore Rd. & Elizabeth St.
Free transportation, free event – all this has put Burlington on a national map as the site of the largest music festival in the country. And it got Kearns on TV
Expect to see more of that as Kearns, currently the Councillor for ward 2, positions herself for a run as Mayor of the city – you heard it hear first.
There seems to be a concerted and possibly organized effort to showcase existing members of council supporting anything and everything either solo or in group photo ops on whats seems like a daily basis. Who is paying for the self-promotion? Councillors or we the people? How much time do councillors spend photo-oping?
It is great to see Lisa get some media attention.
I think I speak for many when I say we are all really tired of seeing the Mayor’s 24/7 photo ops and “look at me” postings. We’re beyond the eye-rolling point and well into the “Holy Shameless Self-promotion, Batman” phase.
There’s a point at which the public starts turning against too much attention-seeking and self-serving spin and not enough “get to work on real issues and show some humility,” and I think we’re about there with the Mayor.
Lisa for Mayor, sure, why not. It has a certain ring to it. Glad to see they moved the red sofa out of the standby room.
