I don’t usually post rumours but this one is very interesting , the first one was about Joe being ill and resigning but his office says he is just fine.
This is a copy of an email a concerned citizen in Ajax sent to our Regional Chair for some answers. (more…)
Instead of commenting on the previous post I will make a new one.
I emailed Joe Dickson and I received a response from his assistant with a news story from Canadian Press pasted in. I will copy that here for you to see what this will cost you and I the taxpayer of Ontario. (more…)
When I read the story in the Toronto Star , I immedialtly knew I recognized the University Professor’s name. I link to that study perhaps in another form but I don’t think it has changed somewhat. Here is a link to the original post I wrote about it.
I stand by my comments and feelings about it. (more…)
This has nothing to do with Ajax except for the common theme of byelections that are paid for by taxpayers.
I want to know who is going to pay for the byelection in the riding Tory will run in.
This is not due to a retirement or any other reason it is a purely partisan purpose.
I expect the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario to pay the entire bill, I am a taxpayer of Ontario and I do not want to subsidise a byelection that has nothing to do with democracy of the Province.
The people in Kiwartha area already voted , we all paid for the election process already.
Any byelection that is brought about from 100% partisan political purpose should be paid for only by the parties not Elections Ontario and general tax dollars.
It also bugs me that a Woman stepped aside for him. I hope an equally strong provincial Liberal from the area runs a credible campaign and wins the seat!
That’ll look great on Mr. Tory!
I do not object to tax deductions for contributing to a political party because democracy does cost us but — I only want to pay for the services of Elections Ontario when they are needed and for legitimate byelections.
Since the Region is not going to look at Ajax’s Regional representation at this time the Town has to proceed with it’s own study of Ward Realignment. Here is a link to the report.
