BURLINGTON, ON
Does anyone know where our newly elected Member of Parliament is hanging out these days?
Karina Gould is reported not to have assumed the lease that Mike Wallace had at Burlington Mall where he had his Constituency office – but it was reported that she might use the space on a month-to-month basis.
Burlington’s MPP ha nice digs on Brock street – room enough for the Member of parliament to move in and couch surf for a period of time?
There is a report that Gould is “couch surfing” in the offices of the member of the provincial legislature, Eleanor McMahon, who has nice new digs over on Brock street.
Federal MP Karina Gould after the Canadian University Woman’s Association debate at which she did very well. Quick on her feet – but not as fleet of foot in getting a constituency office set up.
At some point it would help if the MP told people where and how she can be reached. People need help and support on matters that are managed by the federal government. The local constituency is an important part of the democratic process.
Karina Gould has an email address – no answer from her so far – no telephone number for her in the House of Commons yet.
Political power is in the hands of two woman in this city. What can be expected of the two of them – a tag team perhaps?
As the senior public official in the city she was the first to lay a wreath at the foot of the war memorial last week.
Time for the Member of Parliament to let the public know who they should contact when they need help.
Gould will have been going through a steep learning curve but she is a smart cookie and will ace most of that stuff.
Being in three places at once will be the challenge and putting a staff in place that will hit the ground running is the next step.
