WORLD: Giuliani talked of as U.S. Secretary of State

by  • 

The former  mayor of New York City, Rudy Guiliani, is being discussed as a possible U.S. Secretary of State or Attorney General. Giulini cleaned up New York City during the late 90s and was considered a hero for his management of the 9-11 crisis which occurred during his period in office. Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights recently celebrated will be the focus of a CNN program this week. There are some lovely images in the promotional video. Equally enchanting are images of a new polar bear at the Chicago Zoo.

To wrap up Your World this Saturday, Robert Redford, now 80, will suffer the fate of many movie idols by becoming a director and the ever-eventful Facebook has fixed a problem which mysteriously turned personal pages into notices that the user was dead.

Susan Barrett

There is lively discussion on the Facebook page Leaside Community about just who should be permitted to engage in buying and selling on the account. Leasider Sue Barrett writes that she did not care for the position of another Leaside member who told an outsider that the page was for Leaside people only. She wrote: “As I do most mornings I got the kids out the door and before getting on with my day I grab my phone to check the weather, news, Facebook, etc. There was a “for sale” post. The first comment was; “Do you live in Leaside?” The seller responded saying no, but that she was willing to meet up. The Leasider then told her that this page is only for people who live in Leaside. Then went on to post a second post telling her she wasn’t allowed to be in the Leaside Moms Buy/Sell FB group either. The seller responded okay”  Barrett say she asked the Leasider what made her do this. Her response was that she has seen the seller in a few other buy and sell groups and that she lived at Eglington & Oakwood. Barrett called this “just being a bully.” What’s your view.  Leaside Community
