Nickelback Crisis Averted

The city has not had much luck lately what with the disaster of LRT and no fix in sight plus the scathing audit of Lansdowne by the auditor general.

So if you’re a councillor dealing with a $6.4-billion problem, you might want to look busy despite cancelling a herd of meetings this summer.

But thank goodness Beacon Hill-Cyrville Councillor Tim Tierney has had his Nickelback dream fulfilled. Just imagine what would have happened had the Tierney experience not been realized after he tattooed the band’s name on his arm.

Hard to scratch that out to replace it with The Beatles, some obscure band from England which once had aspirations to be as big as Nickelback.

Interesting that a camera was rolling to witness Tierney’s reaction to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe’s call. Orchestrated you say?

Is this a glee club or a council?

From the City of Ottawa Department of Fluff:

I asked @Nickelback’s #1 fan, Councillor @TimTierney to help me declare Nickelback the official band of Beacon Hill-Cyrville. A big thank you to @ottawabluesfest for helping us surprise him.
