Ineffective Liberal MPP

The shameful display of electioneering witnessed recently at the Brownfield Information session in Eagle Place was a sight to behold. Levac, suddenly passionate about the blight in our backyards, was on hand to sell his so called "Stakeholder Summit" to Brantford residents. The consumate politician was in rare form, from his condescending history lesson on escheatment law to the foul-language laced tirade against some in attendance who dared question his sincerity. What with the 50 plus broken promises previously committed by Dalton McGuinty and his crew, is it any wonder Levac's "passion" is met with skepticism? The idea to get the players in a room together to hammer out a solution may sound familiar. John Tory floated it nearly 6 months ago on his visit to Brantford. He offered his assistance at that time to Levac, to find a solution. Levac has had 8 years to get things done. He's failed. This community needs innovative solutions to move forward, not re-cycled ideas and election promises . That said, Mr. Tory's idea is a good one. We hope this summit does take place. Find a room, lock yourselves in, and get it done. We might even suggest a venue. Dave knows it well, it's at Brantford General, that empty room (like his promises) , still waiting for an MRI.
