BURLINGTON, ON
In Itabashi, the Japanese city Burlington is twinned with, they dance in the streets.
In Burlington, we stand idly on the sidewalk as the parades march past us.
This trip the Mayor chose Japanese attire – much more fitting than what she wore the last time she was in Japan.
The photograph of Mayor Meed Ward dancing in the Itabashi parade this year has her in more sedate clothing.
The last time the Mayor was in Japan it was a different picture.
It was a different Marianne leading a parade through the streets of Japan in 2020
The three-day trip winds up today – they should be home tomorrow.
Will there be a welcoming committee at the airport?
Glad she’s having such a good time spending my money.
Did all participants do a carbon offset? MMW says they discussed flooding. Such hypocrisy.
Interesting that this year City Manager, Hassaan Basit is not in the parade.
What happened to all the others who were part of this “holiday”. Souvenir Shopping perhaps.
