  Hi everyone! I need the help of constituents in Simcoe North. The Everyone Wins With Canadian Chicken campaign is hosting a contest for food banks across Canada. MPs are enocuraged to submit their favourite Chicken Sandwich Recipe, and the best recipes are chosen. The top three ridings have $10,000, $5,000, and $2,500 donated to their food banks. So post your recipes here, and let's see if we can't win a donation for one of the great food banks in our riding! http://appconnected.com/everyonewinswithchicken/
  Everyone Wins With Chicken! - Welcome

  I have attached my response herein: Letter to the Editor March 4, 2012 Re: MP Urged to push for inquiry on robocall scandal – March 2, 2012 I appreciate reading the concerns of Mr. Town on the controversy surrounding automated phone calls during last year’s election and I thank him for his suggestions. I agree that the automated calls, that claimed to be from Elections Canada, represent a serious affront to the integrity of our elections. I trust Elections Canada to sort through the facts in the riding of Guelph; the only riding to this point where this type of deception seems to have occurred. I am confident the Conservative Party had no hand in these deceiving calls and I am pleased they have provided records to assist Election Canada’s investigation there. Only through their investigation and the gathering of real evidence in this case, will our independent office of Parliament (Elections Canada) be in a position to charge the person(s) responsible. I would like to see those responsible prosecuted to the full extent of the law. What is not helpful to Parliament, or the process of uncovering the real culprit(s), is when accusations of electoral wrong-doing are based on speculation rather than fact, or when Members rush to judgment to score political points. During elections, political parties phone people; lots of people; sometimes over and over again, to identify supporters and get their votes out. As we know, automated services are sometimes used for these calls. For some; maybe many; this can be annoying, but it only crosses an ethical and legal line when the calls deliberately mislead or impersonate. It is right to distinguish between the two. In the May 2011 election, Elections Canada had to change 127 voting locations. This involved almost 1,000 polls and nearly 500,000 voters across the country. When our party was informed of these changes it began, with the help of its riding campaigns, the process of contacting identified supporters to advise them of the new locations. I am sure other parties did the same for their identified supporters. As you can imagine, identifying supporters is an inexact science. It is entirely plausible that my own campaign may have contacted people concerning these voting location changes; people whom we believed to be supporters, but were indeed supporting another candidate. It should not have mattered, because when we called we identified ourselves, and the information given was accurate. So there is nothing underhanded or malicious here. But, because of the impersonations and misleading calls in the riding of Guelph, it seems the country-wide program of proper and appropriate calls advising supporters of changes to voting locations, has been thrown wide open to charges of partisan tampering. It would be better for Parliament, our electoral process, and all Canadians, for the facts and truth to guide the discussion on this issue. Elections Canada should take the time and gather the information it needs to take this issue to its rightful conclusion. The reliability of our election system demands no less. Bruce

  Great Canada Day long weekend around the riding! Here at Rotary Park in Penetanguishene with Mayor Gerry Marshall. Both Mayor Marshall and Mayor McKay competed to see who could raise the most funds for the Midland Area Reading Council - the loser would take a pie in the face. As good sports both took a pie in the face in the end and raised a combined $482 for MARC. I pied Mayor Marshall and Stephen Kramp pied Mayor McKay.
