  Our Riding Association had a excellent start to its Bridge Forum Speakers Series last night with Dr. Kirsty Duncan MP & Environment Critic discussing serious environmental issues. Emminently qualified for the subject, Dr. K gave the very engaged crowd a lot to think about, and that was the point!

  With the Government's push for international free trade (largely in secret negotiations) it's amazing to realize that we don't have it at home, interprovincially, at least when it comes to wine! An important issues for regions such as Prince Edward County. This should be addressed by the Government, not by a private member's bill, even a Tory's! But then again it's only agriculture, not a big deal for the Cons!

  Great day at MISC! Many diverse views about the Future of Justice in Canada, but, as hoped, much thoughtful engagement! I don't think either C-10 or C-30 would pass here, at least in their present forms!!

  Thanks for the responses. Wolf, I agree. I think that the intent you mention is there, but if the message is not clear, it serves no purpose. I will pass this on. Kathie, I heard the same thing and think it overly reactionary. Why any different than current illegal substance control? Maybe thicken the border for US tourists returning:-)? More importantly, it may hit on organized crime here and be a more constructive approach than incarcerations? Just an idea being presented by LPC for Canadians!

  Trying to get back to normal routine after 4 long days of "ice road" travel & the convention! Viewed from the inside, with the intense & positive energy of 3200 delegates, it was an incredible success for Party reformation! Would be very interested in hearing how it appeared from a distance - through the media etc. - particularly re some of the bold initiatives e.g. MJ legalization?

  Sorry folks - the posting of the below album should have had these thoughts with it - thought it did. " Despite unseasonably warm temperatures (no one is complaining) the festive season kicked off in Belleville today with the arrival of the CPR Holiday Train. This longstanding cross country event supports food banks nationwide – institutions which are, sadly, still critical to the survival of many families! So, Liberals were out in strength to offer support!" I am a luddite, but still learning:-).

  Warm “kitchen party” hospitality on a crisp fall day at Mink Lake, north of Bancroft and almost in Algonquin Park, revealed that the Liberal light is shining even stronger in the north! Folks there are enthusiastic about rebuilding and advancing the values of being both “socially conscious and fiscally responsible” – values that set us apart. It was great to experience and I thank the host, John McLellan!
