By James Breckendridge. Perusing the council elected by Abbotsford voters, ‘only in Abbotsford’ came to mind.
When you consider how highly critical Abbotsford First was of the actions and behaviours of prior councils [criticism prior councils had earned], where else but Abbotsford would you get results that spit council 4 – 4; 4 incumbents re-elected and 4 Abbotsford First candidates elected?
A council with such a perfectly split personality is just so Abbotsford.
What that perfectly split council says about Abbotsford; about the past, present and future of Abbotsford…………

Shaking my head in bafflement at this latest achievement by the voters of Abbotsford shook loose the following, which seems a most appropriate summation.
In the Beginning was The Plan
And then came the Assumptions
And the Assumptions were without form
and the Plan was completely without substance
and the darkness was upon the face of the workers
and they spoke among themselves saying,
“It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh to high heaven.”
And the workers went unto their Supervisors and sayeth
“It is a pail of dung and none may abide the odour thereof.”
And the Supervisors went onto their Managers can sayeth onto them,
“It is a container of excrement and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it.”
And the Managers went unto their Directors and sayeth,
“It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.”
And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying one to another,
“It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong.”
And the directors went on to the Vice Presidents and sayeth unto them,
“It promotes growth and is very powerful.”
And the Vice Presidents went unto the President and sayeth unto him,
“This new plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of this
Company and these Areas in particular.”
And the President looked upon The Plan.
And saw that it was good, and the Plan became Company Policy.
This Is How Shit Happens.
