I am surprised she is actually running considering she has not helped us in the slightest with the CN issue by completely dodging it. Yes the environmental study is an important part but as our LOCAL MP and her role as the TRANSPORTATION minister, I don't understand how she justifies it has nothing to do with her. I hope she tanks completely.
Do you expect that she would just issue a "proclamation" that CN can't do an intermodal because she says so? she is on record saying they must follow all policies and procedures, and that she wants them to work with the town.
If she had gone heavy hand, we would have heard all about abuse of power by the government and our local MP.
Try focusing your energy on the ones who knew the intermodal was coming for the last 18 months, but wanted it keep quiet during the municipal election - even though Krantz said they were "blindsided", it was known at least at regional council, of which he is a member, that this was coming.
As far as I know and have read (always subject to correction), Lisa was at least honest with her comments. our local politicians, not so much!
As for the election signs, the date of the election has been set at Oct. 19th for quite some time. the only question was how long would the campaign be. Once it leaked last week that the election campaign was being called on Sunday, every candidate should have had their signs ready to go.
