BURLINGTON, ON

Local political associations have varying degrees of community involvement and reach out taking place.

The Conservative are the most active – they have set out a series of Town Hall events, the second of which will take place in a week at the Mainway Recreation Centre where the focus will be on Public Safety; an issue that is easy to get reaction on.

A complex subject with few simple answers.  Halton has an enviable record when it comes to crime – there isn’t that much of it.  With a well funded police service that responds well to public needs and has solid public support the community is seen as very safe – something the Regional Chair Gary CArr never fails to mention when he speaks publicly.

The federal Liberals haven’t done much. The public seems satisfied with MP Karina Gould who is seen and appreciated. The provincial Liberals have been quiet on the surface as they head for  their Leadership convention where the mood seems to be Crombie on 1 – a reference to Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie who is expected to in the race. Once the Liberals have a leader things will be quite different at Queen’s Park.

The New Democrats have a new leader who has been very visible across the province but has yet to appear locally.

The Greens have never been a force in Burlington
