Federal and provincial governments getting back to work - it is going to be noisy and messy - with a lot of deflecting

The federal government returns to the House of Commons today – they think they have found a way to deflect the heat they are getting from the public – they are going to invite all the head honchoes of the supermarkets that are reporting significant profit increases and let them know that food prices have to come down.

It will be interesting to learn how that works out.

Next week the provincial government returns to the Legislature where to Ford government is going to have to answer a barrage of questions from the opposition.  The NDP Leader of the Opposition has been doing a superb job – the two investigations that have put the government in a very tight spot were the result of letters that Marit Stile wrote.

There is some doubt that she will ever be asked to form a government but she deserves huge kudos from the people of the province for the job she has done.

In practice the approach is to wait until the other shoe falls – in the current situation both shoes have fallen – should the RCMP decide that an investigation is necessary to determine if there have been criminal acts – watch how messy this gets.

If you’re in trouble and don’t want to talk about this issues – a photo op will keep you in the news. Burlington MPP Natalie Pierre hard at work.

The Progressive Conservative rank and file are having a tough time over what many think is an attempt to make the Greenbelt a location for some of the badly needed housing.

The public is hearing nothing from the MPP’s – they are saying nothing.  On September 13thand 14^th Burlington MPP Natalie Pierre took the photo op route – not a word from her on the Greenbelt issue.
