Raise the Hammer

Now that Alderman Bill Kelly has left the building, and decided not to challenge my campaign, that leaves yours truely (MAW) and the NDP recruited, ex-officio militant labor union, double dipping retired executive, Scott Duvall to battle it out for the hearts and minds of the ward seven constituents.

Whittle they know, Duvall they don't. Case Closed.

While Scott Duvall was busy undermining the sale of Stelco by mounting a concerted attack on the proposed owners for not feathering the unions nest more outragiously, a work ethic that produced declining productivity and strike threats at every turn, I was busy rolling up my sleeves and helping Hamiltonians one at a time if necessary, it's the Whittle way.

For example, a call was received from John M., a home invasion victim who was rendered a paraplegic and left for dead during an unsolved home invasion in upper Stoney Creek a few years ago.

Whe John M. called me for help, he was holed up in his hospital room, where he had been living since the home invasion, scared stiff because he had just recieved a letter from Murray T. Martin, the CEO, informing him he was about to be kicked out onto the street.

He had nowhere to go, he would have been rendered homeless.

I immediately went to the rehabilitation Hospital to defuse the situation and get John to open his door and come out of his barricaded room before they called SWAT.

When I arrived there where security guards swarming all over so I got right to the point.

I informed everyone in attendance who I was and told them that I would be signing on to Johns cause and would guarantee in writing that I would have him moved out and on his own with minimal support in exactly three weeks.

I signed on the dotted line right then and there, I'm a man of my word and a hand-shake.

I further stated that if they didn't go along with my well thought out transition plan I would create a public relations disaster unlike anything they had see, past or present.

I'm also a registered Lobbyist and freelance political consultant of great renown.

after all, dumping homelessness onto the city of Hamilton from the closed social system incorporated by the hospital and paid for with provincial tax dollars was not what I had in mind as a candidate for councilor, ward seven.

I hopped right to it.

I'm happy to report John M. has his own place now, with wheelchair access and a swimming pool and he moved out of the hospital exactly three weeks from the day I stepped in to advocate on his behalf.

Mayor Larry DiIanni can confirm this is true because I asked him to give me a hand.

Turns out I didn't need it because I made a call to the Effort Trust Company that owns the building where John M. now resides.

I guaranteed the rent personally, being a millionaire and all, and helped John move in with my Braun Corporation Mobility Limo used to transport my deceased son Logan around in style, he recently passed away, God bless him.

Every morning a nurse drops by to assist him in his morning routine, then the rest of the day is his.

That's what I call leadership, and thats what ward seven voters will get, someone who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get the job done.

Win With Whittle, Ward Seven.
