Made me wonder also, Tequila.
Then I thought why do Ontario politicians serve the citizens of S. Ontario and neglect northerners as if they do not exist. Votes - votes is what keeps the politician at his position. And media go where the 'action' is and where their customers are.

Back to your manager, why would he know anything about the Ring?

He is concerned about issues in his immediate back yard. Media do not tell him what he needs to know and politicians Huh, these tell you what they think you want to hear to get a vote.

I've said enough lest I pop a vein. (Where's my vino, did I finish it off last night?) Ed.
