I've agreed with him on a couple items this past year, and that really caused me to re-evalute on my position on the subjects. He really enjoys playing the sleepy, obstinate old man role. No amount of reason, common sense, logic, passion, empathy, etc will change his mind once he's locked it in. And he locks it in early.
My favourite from him was that the U-Pass shouldn't be approved by Council - because a minority of students at the UofR voted in the referendum, which rendered the results invalid (in his mind). A quick check of the Municipal elections results... and, yep: by his own logic, he had even less of a claim to his seat on Council, than URSU did with the U-Pass.
(
he also has a hate-on for the UofR... started when he "chose" to "resign" as UofR President after just 16 months.)
