Oh yeah, there was also that time the town of Oka tried to erect a golf course on Mohawk land leading to an armed stand-off that lasted 78 days.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oka_Crisis

I was 2 at the time.

And then a few weeks back the mayor where that all happened asked the Mohawk to erect blockades to keep out coronavirus-infected travelers trying to escape from the city.

The previous Prime Minister of Canada basically turned the official residence into a feral cat colony and this contributed to the residence being currently unusable.

i mean, that's the thought of a crackhead, but im going to guess for the 1968 Olympics (pulling a year out of the bag) instead of the obvious ford brother guesses

Mel Lastman, and the campaign for the 2008 Olympics.

Which reminds me, one of Lastman's scandals was that he had two unacknowledged 40 year old children. He was also accused of using his furniture store to bribe the WWE for Wrestlemania.

You gotta admit that last one is pretty funny.

That's why I posted it in this thread.

e: I found the full quote. Remember that the rest of the org committee was basically begging him not to come, and he insisted.

quote:

"What the hell do I want to go to a place like Mombasa?" Mr. Lastman was quoted as saying.

"Snakes just scare the hell out of me. I'm sort of scared about going there, but the wife is really nervous. I just see myself in a pot of boiling water with all these natives dancing around me."

In other funny things, some time either last year or the year before there was an editorial in a UK paper (the Spectator?) which asked the question 'why is Jeremy Corbyn so anti-semitic?' and answered with 'because communism is inherently Jewish.'

Also from back in March when the Roni was setting in and everyone was making a run on the supermarkets. Some media dunce took a picture of an empty super market shelf in London and posted it with "thank goodness Jeremy Corbyn isn't Prime Minister, otherwise this would be happening in England."
