September 7, 2006 The Mayor of Winnipeg, Dear Mayor Katz, I was surprised that the SUN could bring darkness over light. The headline of the Winnipeg Sun today says that: “Spirited Energy Is A Rip Off”. So, is this an anti-spirit statement? Is it just something to sell the city of Winnipeg or is there such truth as ‘spirited energy’? Without wanting to disappoint anyone nor taking sides, obviously the darkness that the Winnipeg Sun – imagine we used to say that Winnipeg has the most sun hours in North America! Was it just daylight (energy)? And is there such a thing as ‘spirited energy’? So I send a challenge to the pros and cons on the statement of spirited energy. Is it a selling feature for election or is it simply advertising giving? So if you say that it’s a rip off, it sounds like an advertising gimmick, but if the bears could bring people to Broadway and the moose triple the tourism in Toronto, what’s wrong with the spirit? Perhaps no one could prove it or turn it into solid form, as the bears. We challenge anyone to the fact that we could prove ‘spirited energy’ in a visual form, here in the very city of Winnipeg. And we are not talking about a museum of human rights, where there are no such a things as human rights. Otherwise, equality would exist. So isn’t using the word ‘spirit’ in a gimmick form or electoral form, making us some false prophets? All for profit, getting to wonder how to write profit? So to the Mayor of Winnipeg, whom I have known when I was in business – in the sewer cleaning business, by the way I remember him telling me: “Go see my neighbour, the Pope. His name was Mr. Pope. He’s more rich than I am.” So if we bring the Pope and the Mayor to check out the spirited energy, you may find out that it is alive in Manitoba and if you dare take my challenge, the spirited energy will fulfill its true, honest purpose – flood this city with visitors to live the spirited energy. We challenge anyone of this city and the nation and the world to dare me, prove the spirit in Winnipeg. And I will, because it’s in the will – the willpower that we so little use. So perhaps we need a new tabloid in Winnipeg called “the Moon” to overshadow the Sun so everybody is in darkness. Any media attention to proving the spirit is sort of like saying ‘prove me that God exists’. I say, “Come over. We will.” Respectfully, with true spirited energy, Roger Poisson, the fisher of man Jump in the net. Check our website. You’ll know what it means. Bravo – even if you never knew how true the prophecy of ‘spirited energy’ is. Thank you for reading. Roger Poisson, private citizen of Winnipeg |
