One Comment on "READER POLL: Who will you back for premier in the next election?"
Government of Canada focused on Economy????
Last evening I was getting ready to watch the Montreal Canadians and the Winnipeg Jets play hockey when the phone rang, the phone display showed that it was from an “unavailable” number – I am on the no call list so I very seldom get garbage calls. I answered the phone to find out it was the current local MP Rick Dykstra holding one of those bogus waste of tax payers money live town hall meetings. I believe most of those phoney calls and answers to politicians are pre-rehearsed and screened so that no questions about government waste make it beyond the screener.
This government tells us senior tax payers that the cupboard is bare – who is paying for this telytownhall junk? First of all no person in Canada should be allowed to randomly phone a number listed on a no call list, why are politicians exempt from the no call list? All this on the same day that Dykstra’s Government announced that it wasted $1 million to ship The Prime Ministers car and SUV to India – The Australian Prime Minister was there recently and used Indian armoured Vehicles. People should remember these wastes when election time rolls around.
