DEMOCRATIC LOOPHOLE

DEMOCRATIC LOOPHOLE By Joe Ingino B.A. Psychology Editor/Publisher Central Newspapers ACCOMPLISHED WRITER/AUTHOR OF OVER 800,000 Published Columns in Canada and The United States Premier Doug Ford confirmed that the Honorable Edith Dumont, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, has accepted the premier's advice to sign a proclamation dissolving the 43rd Parliament of the Province of Ontario. Pursuant to the provisions of the Election Act, the Lieutenant Governor also called for the issuance of writs for the general election to be issued January 29, 2025, and named February 27, 2025, as the date of Ontario's next general election. What political arrogance. By Ford calling an election he is pretty much solidifying his complete control over Ontario. The ultimate political goal. To have total and complete control. To eliminate opposition and to exercise a strong hand tactics against your opponents. Hum. Does it not sound like what is taking place south of the border? Ford, by calling an election is assuring total control of the Province. He knows that the NDP does not have a chance in hell. The Liberals are about to be pushed off the Canadian political horizon. This snap election is nothing short of an abuse of the democratic process. A process that is in place to allow the common folk to exercise their right to vote in who they think it is worthy of the position. Unfortunately, this has been compromise and undermined in order to gain total and complete control over the population. Ford, in the past has shown great initiative in championing the interest of those he represents. Across the province. The Blue tide is about to roll over all Liberal standing posts. Locally Jerry Ouellette is being pulled from the PC stables in the hope that the name recognition will regain the post as he once did. Jerry is a great person. As our MPP he was always accessible and most importantly listened to constituents. On the other hand. We had to endure Jennifer French since 2014. She does not return phone calls. She has not once supported this newspaper. She is never available for interviews and events. It almost appears that once elected she shut down the community. This is not representation. This is not why constituents voted her in. I am eager to see the outcome in this race... Thomas Sowell said it best, “By the end of the 20th century, “liberals” had again discredited themselves, to the point where they went back to calling themselves “progressives” to escape their past, much as people do when they declare bankruptcy.” If this stands true. The time has come. Much like it is happening in the United States. Society is about to re-set. Are you ready?
