I Saw It Coming, John McEwen

Snowplowing in Central Frontenac

With Council trying to pass a by-law to make people clean up their property and make them more presentable is a joke with the likes of their snowplow operator damaging our property every year. Myself, I don't know how we are to do this with a snowplow operator going so fast down the road  throwing the snow so hard, it’s breaking fences, knocking lights off the posts and bending the fire numbers. There is no reason for this kind of behaviour other than to damage personal property. It cost me over $200 to fix my fence last year and it looks like it will cost me more this year. I've tried to make my place look good up to this point but with your plow operator damaging it ever year, I'm at the point of not trying anymore. I'm sure my property is not the only one getting damaged. Maybe Council should spend more time controlling their plow operator and less on by-laws that will put more financial hardship on the residents.

I Saw It Coming

Everything I have expected the Harper majority to do, they’re doing and much more. Everything, including sacrificing Universal Health Care, so we can buy F-35s and throw pot smokers into federal penitentiaries. Music to the extreme right, but I must admit becoming American scares me.

However. I am back from a very interesting weekend in Ottawa, and I have two predictions for you: People who have 40% and behave as though they have 100% don’t last too long in any occupation, and I predict my side will see strong active support from tens of thousands of groovy peace loving Canadians. Suddenly, to me, the opposition looks very old, very tired and May 22, 2015 seems somehow closer.
