Today's Liberal Special

How fitting that the McGuinty the Mannequin has recruited former children's television actress Nerene Virgin to run for him. She has been named Ontario Liberal candidate for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek, bypassing the normal nomination process.

I would probably vote for her as a childhood hero of mine, but how does that really compare to the “star candidates” that the Tories and NDP have been able to recruit.

Virgin, once the star of TVOntario's Today's Special and later a television news anchor, left the CBC in 2005 and spent last year teaching French to elementary students in Stoney Creek.

Finance Minister Greg Sorbara, chair of the Ontario Liberal campaign, indicated last week that the party might decide to use one of the five nomination appointments allowed by its constitution in Mossop's riding.

Wait... The liberals appoint their candidates now???

Prince George VVI of Decorum

George Smitherman was once again on Focus Ontario this week as the political play. In an off guarded moment Smitherman admits to host Sean Mallen that he is not a respectful person and never promised to be well mannered. I don’t know why but he seems to think that because he never promised to be respectful, he doesn’t have to be.

Here’s some advice George. You are a grown man and an MPP, start acting like one. Seems clear to me that focus is picking on the Liberals a lot lately.

The Liberal Land of Milk and Honey

Driving through Ottawa one could not do anything in their power to avoid the mass amounts of bus shelters built into the very well integrated transit system of Ottawa that runs much better than the Toronto Transit Commission. As I passed each bus shelter in Ottawa, I couldn’t avoid gawking at the massive amount of waste of our tax dollars.

After speaking with some friends in Toronto, they said they have noticed the same advertisements downtown as well as in Mississauga and other parts of the Greater Toronto Area.

One of my liberal sources admitted that the Liberal Party has all but dictated that all current MPP’s should be buying bus advertisements and items that will fully drain the full extent of their member’s budget on self promotion.

Take a good look for your Liberal MPP – Wasting our money today!
