I am late in doing this but a while ago I wrote a letter to the Editor of news advertiser about the Stop the Stink issue. Someone then wrote a letter telling me off so to speak. Well upon reflection I will apologize, it is true, I don’t live there and can’t truly understand what they are going through.

I want to restate again that as the letter I wrote said- I had some questions, they were answered by the Pickering letter writer and I don’t know about you but sometimes I read letters to editor with a tone of voice in my head, this person I think took my words perhaps as sarcastic and it was not meant to be that way.

I don’t live in Vaughan and only know what I have read in the papers. I agree the place is becoming a joke.

Here is a comment that was online - someone from Pickering it appears.

This excerpt from the below post I now have some answers to and I want to address some email I have received.

The following is a copy of an email I sent 24 hours ago to my Town of Ajax CAO and Clerk and for good measure all the councillors , 2 MPP,s , the Mayor of Sarnia plus 3 media contacts. Trust me, I never write a boring email.

As you will recall, January 1st was the default day that if a Town or City did not appoint a closed meeting investigator citizens could go to the office of the Ontario Ombudsman to lodge a formal complaint free of charge– FREE OF CHARGE, don’t forget that part. (more…)

I just read this. I don’t want to use up my letter to the editor allotment so I will just put my comments here , lucky Metroland ! (more…)

The meeting has just adjourned, I have been watching it on tv and I took a lot of notes but the main issue is the motion for the decision to pay Mr. Maurice Brenner’s Legal Fees that were the result of his being charged and acquitted of inappropriate and illegal activity in regards to expense accounts.

“The City of Pickering has chosen not to appoint a closed meetings investigator, and will rely on the provincial ombudsman to field concerns regarding the issue. “ (more…)

I went to the Community Affairs and Planning meeting tonight in Ajax and did not make it to the Pickering Council as I had wanted to catch some of it but I figured I would miss what I wanted to see so went home.

Their meeting is either replayed on TV or they have their meetings run till close to midnight?

However the big issue tonight was whether or not former Councillor Brenner’s legal fees would be paid for. Mr. Doug Dickerson made quite the speech and basically feels that the entire thing was to ruin Mr. Brenner for a mayoral campaign and Mr. Dickerson feels Mayor Ryan acted inappropriately.
