"He's all sizzle, no steak." Jas Johal's and Richard Zussman's scathing assessment of Ken Sim, FCPA, FCA in "Ken Sim - Our Deeply Unserious Mayor?" on 980 CKNW. (Excerpt) "Now, as I've said, this highlights for me, the bigger issue which essentially is we have a Mayor who is not very serious for a city dealing with very serious challenges. "It's a city with a $2 billion budget, yet still goes cap in hand looking for corporate sponsorship because it has difficulty balancing its books. "You have a fiscal conservative who in the last 2 years raised property taxes by 18%, yet Kennedy Stewart raised property taxes by 24% in 4 years. At the rate this mayor is going, taxes will be even higher than that leftwing Mayor, Kennedy Stewart. "Think about this for a second...community centre fees have gone up, parking fees have gone up. This mayor promised to bring in his 3-3-1 policy which means you'd only have to wait 3 days for approvals when it came to home additions, 3 weeks for townhouses, 3 months for midrises and 1 year for highrises...has any of that come to fruition? I don't think so...no one has seen that. "He's also increased the mayor's budget...it's now a political office more than anything else. "He's run on being trasnparent. Try getting information on FIFA World Cup from him. "And what about infrastructure? Look at the Kits Pool, a landmark in the city. It's not going to be open this summer at all. The Stanley Park train...I don't even think it's wheelchair accessible. And on and on it goes. "He says he wants to fix the Park Board, now he says he wants to get rid of Park Board. That's fine if you agree with him but that tells me he doesn't even get along with his own people. "This man has been handed a super majority and what have we seen from him? Not a lot. And considering he's the first Asian major in the city...congratulations to him, I think that's a wonderful achievement...but has he levereaged that to build the City, to push the City, to challenge the City when it comes to anti-Asian racism in a meaningful way. Has he gotten involved in part of the broader conversation around foreign interference? "He doesn't have the gravitas in my personal opinion. That's what I have seen. He's all sizzle, no steak."

Word that the historic French franchise Girondins de Bordeaux filed for bankruptcy recently rocked European football.

Can famous golfer #JackNicklaus reclaim the #nameandimage he sold for #estateplanning purposes? Or did he unwittingly sell his persona? Due to technological advances in exploiting #nameimageandlikeness (NIL), here’s the unprecedented question: If a celebrity cashes in on their image, who owns their persona? Nicklaus sold his name, image, and likeness to Nicklaus companies for $145 million in 2007. The transaction was reported in court documents to be part of a broader #estateplan to cash in on his name, gift $20 million to each of his 5 children, and some to charity. Here is the twist, which could impact celebrities broadly: The Nicklaus Companies have authorized an A.I. version of Nicklaus that can be used to advertise other products. Can they use a name like a brand or is a person’s identity sacred? In a pending NY legal proceeding, the Nicklaus Companies are reportedly fighting for summary judgment regarding ownership of the golfer’s #publicityrights. Nicklaus’s team is asserting that publicity rights remain inviolable without an explicit, written transfer. Oral arguments are scheduled before Thanksgiving. The decision may have far-reaching consequences in planning for and valuing #NIL during a celebrity’s lifetime, in the event of #divorce and after death. Stay tuned for more of my #NIL posts coming! #AIplanning #nameimagelikeness #postmortemrightofpublicity #intellectualproperty #intellectualpropertyrights
