Nonetheless, I look forward to the next press release issued the day after:
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 30, 2008) -

Mark 2 p.m. on May 29, 2008, on your calendars. That is the day and time that Kyle Rae slipped and belly-flopped at the corner of Yonge and Bloor, suffering enough brain trauma that his political future is now in limbo.
In the spirit of all great, staged photo-ops, Bazis' partners Michael Gold and Roy Varacalli, along with councilor Rae, climbed aboard a tracked excavator with a huge set of steel teeth that was planned to take a bite out of the existing building on the site. Unfortunately, Mr. Rae lost his footing and landed face first on the poorly-maintained sidewalk along the western perimeter of the site. After being flown by helicopter a few blocks south to St. Michael's hospital, Mr. Rae was treated for superficial cuts and bruises and released.
"The past as prelude to the future." says Mr. Gold. Kyle will have an MRI later this month and if there's any permanent brain damage detected, we'll be happy to work with his replacement.
