Heather Buchan wrote for Metro Toronto a front page
July 6th 2009 article with LARGE COVER PICTURE
"Bronzed busking: Copper Cowboy gets even the
toughest hombres smiling".


David, WHO?
=========
The article is about David who does NOT give his last
name (Why?).

Heather describes this 250 lb. athletic build man as a
31 year old Torontonian she nicknamed "the Copper
Cowboy" who has been busking at the corner of Yonge+
Dundas in front of the Eaton Shopping Centre starting
in May for the last four (4) years.  (He also wears a
batman disguise as well as other disguises.)

David told her that he's a tower rigger by trade who heads
to Northern Ontario to install and maintain communications
and hydro towers during the harsh winter months.

Really?

Did she verify this?

David credits fellow busker, Dave Johnson (aka Chalk-
master Dave), for getting him started in 2006: "I got
started with Chalkmaster Dave. Dave saved my life.
He was footing the bill so I could get going at this."

When asked by Heather why he does it, he said: "It's
the look on people's faces. It sounds corny, but it's a
totally different experience to have a lot of strangers
look at you and smile. I doN'T know if I'm making their
day or anything, but you get a nice smile for a couple
of minutes."


É(eh)PC Incident with Dave
====================
I was chalking on the sidewalk promoting my political
party, the ÉPC, one summer evening last year around
8 p.m. when Dave comes barrelling over and throws my o
pen pail of chalk way over to the other side of the high
way and then, begins to BERATE ME OUT LOUD like
an undercover cop saying all sorts of demeaning, nasty
things: by what he said, it seemed that he knew me.


FELLOW Undercover Cops?
====================
As far as I can tell, Chalkmaster Dave and a Jamaican-
Canadian who sell flags at THE SAME CORNER are
ALL undercover cops.

WHY SO MANY undercover cops in that one place?


BILLION $$$ Waste of Tax $$$
======================
The ÉPC intends to introduce judicial reforms that will
NIX undercover cops in Canada and thereby, save the
taxpayers a lot of $$$.

Footnote
=======
To be fair, I've NEVER SEEN a so-well-fed busker with
THE EXCEPTIONAL BUILD that David has, but then
again he could be THE EXCEPTION.

Maybe he's NOT an undercover cop, maybe?

Then, again ... .
