Vote…

Well I am going to live up to my word that I said during the John Tory by-election. Are you reading Mr. Lambert????

Now we have a Liberal that wants to quit on his riding and go work for the City of Toronto.

There is never enough money for hospitals and education but there is always enough money for a by-election.

Why can’t they just refer constituents to another M.P.P’s office for the duration of the term and give his Liberal vote to another Liberal MP as a proxy. The business of Government continues with or without the M.P.P.’s .

2011 is our next Provincial election, voters, make sure you ask every single candidate if they plan to stick around for their full term before they consider moving on to other things.

If you don’t plan to run in the following election that is fine, don’t run or you move on in the last year but these mid term jumps are not fair to the people you made a commitment to in the last election.

It may sound petty but it just re-enforces the notion that politicians are not there for us, they are there purely for themselves and their own agendas.

This was probably in the works for awhile but it would have been terrible to have John Tory run in a Toronto area by-election , no, Dalton just sat by and let Laurie Scott give up her seat.

I guess that’s politics for ya.

I am working on another story at this time, in the “research” phase right now.

I was reading this piece in my favourite paper I was wondering why it was focusing on Durham so much at the halfway point through the article, then I continued reading it and was agreeing with much of what I read, after I completed reading the piece, I looked to see who wrote it.

I would like to see the area around the GO train station redeveloped to include condos, we have empty industrial land in that area and it just requires zoning changes and political will.

Whoever owns the empty, for quite sometime, Avery label place needs to look into this, it is just down the street from the GO station, it is a walkable distance.

It would be great to put a seniors residence right on top of the downtown plaza.

Ajax built from the centre of town outward and north, the centre needs serious attention and it is in the works slowly over time but radical shift in thoughts and ideas has to come to the surface.

We are not a small town anymore and we need to do what an Urban centre would do in terms of intensification.

We need employment in Ajax but are we going to get heavy duty manufacturing in downtown Ajax? I don’t think so. The employment lands will be home to business parks.

My grandmother moved out of her small house into a condo when I was a kid due to a Federal program that stated she could not sell her unit for 3 years, this was to keep speculators from buying them up and driving up the price, they were kept affordable that way.

Here is the information from the website.

This is another opportunity to learn about the incinerator that will burn our garbage and turn it into energy, then send the ash somewhere to be buried in another host community.

People from Ajax and Pickering should try to attend , the wind does blow west.

I hear Rick Johnson from Pickering is willing to have a carpool to get you there.
