good morning!
my day started off early with the Mayor's breakfast where the keynote speaker was D.McGuinty.
I must admit he is an excellent speaker and very compelling and if I did not know some of the details of the issues he addressed I would have been convinced to vote Liberal.... but I do know the details and realize that while he is going in the more or less right direction on many issues the focus on the big corporate approach that shuts out the ordinary, especially rural, citizen and small companies is not healthy for our social fabric. [ie. wind turbines] He also, sadly, is making no admission that the debt is out of control while the fact is that 1/2 of our current deficit [8-10 billion worth, depending upon who you talk to] is simply paying the INTEREST on our debt; meaning that our debt is shackling our ability to deliver services in the future; this is a classic non-sustainable approach which Greens cannot support. We cannot burden our children with our excesses!
After 5 on CBC 1 with Alan Neal all the nepean-carleton candidates will be showcased as they respond the question from a North Gower resident on our positions on the Green Energy Act and wind turbines in particular followed by listener comments; stay tuned!
Now I am off to canvas in Findlay Creek, a new development off Bank Street and Vernon, a cute village on the southeast edge of our huge riding - wish me luck!
