About the Mayor and the Burke reports:
I do not have enough information available to form a concrete opinion but this is what I do know.
It is my belief that her former assistant probably was harrassed in some form and she has taken legal action to correct the matter. She most likely settled due to the [...]

Bad Drivers
Posted in general comments, rant on October 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I just have to rant here for a bit. People do NOT know how to drive. I come from a part in the world where people generally do know how to drive and here are my observations:
1) Passing on the right is a big no no!
2) Automakers intalled SIGNALS on your vehicle, it is that little [...]
Smoke Shops
Posted in haldimand, politics on October 18, 2007 | 2 Comments »
These are an eyesore along Highway 6. I find the sight of these shops also very unappealing and does have to be addressed. I believe this is part of the provincial commitment to ban all smoke advertising and concerns should be addressed to Toby Barrett. I don’t think that “rollies” really need to be promoted [...]
Cornsnakes Clip

Here is a teaser for those of you that want to watch a clip of Cornsnakes the Movie. I posted a fragment of a World War 1 scene we shot in Acton this past summer. The trench is actually a root cellar of an old pioneers home. We uncovered it and [...]
Haldimand Road 17
Posted in ward 2 on October 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It seems that not a lot of people realize, except those living on Haldimand Road 17 in Cayuga, that there is a serious safety problem here. Trucks use this as a shortcut from Dunnville instead of Highway 3. The road has a sharp bend as you enter Cayuga and a lot of people do not [...]
Speeding Concerns
Posted in ward 2 on October 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Last year on the election trail, I talked to people in Fisherville who had legitimate concerns with regards to speed in their town. The town is built around an intersection and the speed limit is 50. The speed limit increases to 80 BEFORE you are out of the residential area. The town has grown over the [...]
Family Day!!

I just have to vent here. We just discussed the addition of Family Day to our stat holidays due to the Liberal win in yesterday’s election.
It is fine if you want to create a long weekend but does it really need to be in February? It is already a short month and the chance of [...]
Normaal in Canada

This past Friday, I went to Woodstock to see my all-time favorite Dutch band perform. They were invited by several people over a number of years to do a show. They ended up playing a semi-acoustic show in London and a Rock show in Woodstock. There were about 15oo people in [...]
Go and Vote

Make sure you go out and vote. If you think that nobody is up for the challenge, go out and void or abstain. This will show that you are not agreeing with anything that is out there. I have made up my mind although it was more difficult this time than usual. Two really good [...]
Waste of Money?

As people may know, the Cayuga bridge is currently under emergency repairs. The bridge dates from the mid-1920’s and is over 80 years old. Beyond its expected lifespan. Furthermore, it was not designed to withstand the steel truck convoys that go over this bridge on a daily basis. THe whole thing seems to move and shake when [...]
