Marvelous Mike is going to get off lucky – there will be no march on his office.

By Pepper Parr

BURLINGTON, ON  June 7, 2012    “Democracy or Harper”, is the theme for a group in Hamilton that intends to march on the office of  Hamilton area MP  David Sweet, the member of the House of Commons for Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale riding.  The marchers are protesting the 425-page ‘budget implementation act’ – would change over 70 laws ranging from nearly every federal environmental law, to the pension age and rules for the unemployed.

Marvelous Mike Wallace amongst friends - but are they constituents?

There are apparently no plans for such a protest from Burlington citizens – we apparently don’t do that type of thing here.  If a person is unemployed they probably come from Hamilton and that’s there problem.  As for the environment – well, what to say.  The turbine that was to go on the pier wasn’t going to make all that much of a difference was it?

The groups are also organizing a public forum on Saturday, June 16 in the Dundas Town Hall (Osler and Governor’s Road) from 1 to 3 pm,  to which they are inviting all local MP’s to speak about the omnibus bill and explain their positions.

Don’t expect Marvelous Mike to be at that one.
