From an ad campaign by Harry Rosen April 20, 2009 entitled “THE NEW CONFIDENCE: The Visionary (Robert Deluce)

 “We are in an expansionary mode. We’re adding ten new airplanes. We’ll probably take on a half dozen, or more new destinations. We feel really good about the business plan we have and we’re staying very focused….

 I truly believe that if you want to get ahead in today’s environment, you really can’t afford to be in a negative frame of mind.” - Robert Deluce

 CommunityAIR’s Brian Iler responded on Harry Rosen’s blog. Here’s his response:

 "So the hapless Toronto Port Authority hands over virtually exclusive use of the best 215 acres on Toronto's waterfront to Mr. Deluce's Porter Air, plus $20 million, for a nasty industrial use whose noise and fumes are making our waterfront increasingly unliveable, destroying its potential as a truly spectacular place to visit and enjoy.

Mr. Deluce has positioned himself well to take advantage of the TPA's abdication of its stewardship of this wonderful public asset.

Is that really something we should celebrate?"

 and Harry Rosen’s reply

 "Brian, thanks for tuning into the Harry Rosen New Çonfidence blog! However, I must confess that we are designed as a forum for discussion around personal branding, confidence and men’s style. I feel we are ill equipped to engage in debate around this particular matter, but thank you for the visit."
