Burnaby mayor a 'contrarian'

Dear Editor: I wonder, is it just me or do others get the feeling that Mayor Corrigan wants to both, hunt with the hounds and run with the hare? It has always seemed to me that our mayor prefers to be contrarian when the majority has other ideas.

Dear Editor:

I wonder, is it just me or do others get the feeling that Mayor Corrigan wants to both, hunt with the hounds and run with the hare? 

It has always seemed to me that our mayor prefers to be contrarian when the majority has other ideas.  And that's okay, it's just that when we agree, I usually feel, for some reason, ill at ease.

And on the subject of 'hares', this Thumper philosophy, "If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all" strikes me as just a little too twee, at this point in the controversy. 

What I suspect hizzoner will do, is the same most politicians do when undecided - watch to see which way the parade is headed and then get their eminences stationed at the front.
