In regard to the recent cabinet shuffle in the Stelmach government: Great! Stelmach moves a minister from the health-care portfolio to the energy portfolio. Fantastic!

Stephen Harper’s proroguing of Parliament continues to cause criticism. We’ve heard the phrase “naked self-interest” from the UK’s The Economist. His former chief of staff, Tom Flanagan, said Harper’s reasons for prorogation “don’t have much credibility.”

Royal Canadian Legion not a social club |

This is in response to a Roast submitted regarding the Royal Canadian Legion, General Stewart Branch No. 4.
Let me begin by saying the Royal Canadian Legion is not a social club. The General Stewart Branch No. 4 of the Royal Canadian Legion exists to support the veterans both past and present, their families, Legion members and the community.
The Legion has a variety of sporting events such as pool, darts, shuffleboard, euchre, crib, etc. Also, the Legion, in conjunction with the Ladies Auxiliary, holds dances and other functions throughout the year including an annual children's Christmas party. The Ex-Service Personnel host a dinner bi-monthly. The Memorial Hall is available to be rented out to private functions, such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

You can’t put a price on child’s safety |

It has become apparent our city council is not working to help our citizens, especially our children.
Why would city council negate rumble strips around school yards/playgrounds? It has to do with generating cash flow for the city.
Again, city speeders will not have the luxury of slowing down for rumble strips when the city can make some easy cash.
Safety is not a word used by council when the cash register bell is going off from the photo radar tickets being generated at school yards/playgrounds.
As for the sound issue, Mr. Hawkins, your argument is full of bunk. You expect the rumble strips to be a noise problem. Where is your research stating your answer? Please reveal your information before making an outlandish hypothesis.

Seat of power not PM’s to control |

The prime ministers are not the seat of power in democratic systems.
The doors of our Parliament in Ottawa are locked, citizen’s voices are muted, democracy is at a standstill.
Prime Minister Harper’s actions of proroguing the Parliament twice reflects his belief system that:
1. Canadians are ignorant and gullible. He won the 2008 election without any platform, denial of environmental and economic realities, and twisting then-Liberal leader Stephane Dion’s policies.
