To: The Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario
Legislative Building, Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario, Canada M7A 1A1
Subject: Your call
for the prorogation of the Ontario legislature.
Dear
Dalton,
As a very concerned
resident of Thunder Bay, Ontario as well having lived and worked all my life to
date in our province, I find it most disturbing and a total disruption to each
and every person, business owner who live, work and provide employment in order
to provide all the services and benefits of living free in a democratic society.
Well it seems to most I have spoken with, are of the opinion that you alone have
brought the democratic process here in "ONTARIO" to a screeching halt by your
recent actions and current mind set.!
I would like to let
you know that my decision to compose this letter to you was prompted today in a
by chance crossing of paths of myself and Ms. Sarah Campbell M.P.P. For
Kenora-Rainy River today in Thunder Bay. It was during our conversation and
learning of her reason for being in the city, that at the end of our speaking
with one another I told Ms. Campbell that I was indeed going to write to you, as
I have done in the past on many an occasion. With that said, in turn Ms.
Campbell asked if I could C.c. her on my email/letter to you, I stated certainly
that would not be a problem at all.
Wishing that the
circumstances for this letter would be much different than they actually are and
that without any doubt you will find my letter to be extremely condescending in
nature, highly critical of you and your administration especially when it comes
down to you blaming the opposition for creating a legislative stalemate, which
in turn lead you too make the decision to call for a prorogation at Queen's
Park.
I find your
quote/statement of “My job is to figure out when the water’s getting a little
too rough, to blow the whistle and say, ‘all right, everybody out of the pool,’”
off the wall for lack of a better description, seriously where in the world did
you come up with this scenario I ask.? Please tell me that you cannot be
serious, is this your way of attempting to lighten the ill effects of your
actions on all who reside in this province.?
Your government’s
decision to shut down the legislature means all Ontario residents have been left
with a government out-of-control that has been put on "autopilot," is this what
you refer to being a proficient and progressive leader?..are you proud of
this style of representing the public who put you in office.!
The reasoning in
which you defend this decision to prorogue the legislature, "saying the
controversial move gave the government crucial time to sign new contracts with
unions and work on breaking the deadlock at Queen’s Park"...is oh so very weak
in my honest opinion. I believe you have allowed your ego to take over what ever
powers of deductive reasoning you may have once had. I would have thought that
when you rallied your troops to aid you in coming up with a logical reason for
your actions, they could have done far better than this turkey of an
excuse.
I offer up this
scenario as being a major part of your deciding to prorogue, this is nothing
short of an attempt to sidestep the ever growing scandals facing you and
your government, plain and simple, keeping in mind some of your past larger
"Faux-Pas" or as I like to call them...."FacePalm Moments"such as the infamous
and shining example of the 'E-Health Fiasco" being a prime example of your not
keeping, your finger on the pulse of Ontario, as part of your obligation and
mandate to the residents and business owners, this with out doubt was an "EPIC
FAIL" on your part.
So it appears that
you intend to repeat history with this call to prorogue, is that your real goal
or are you simply the type of individual who, when they see light at the end of
the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
With your
actions, I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to
be left to the politicians, it was always my feeling that a politician is a
fellow who will lay down your life for his country and its people, you however
do not fit the bill in this case unfortunately. It has often been said, one of the
penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your
inferiors, you sir are lending a whole lot of credence to that statement with
your actions of late in my opinion. Do you really want your
legacy to be that of the Canadian poster boy for "Political Aphorisms" that have yet to be
written.?
I must comment as
well...your government has said it will cost taxpayers $230-million to cancel
the two gas plants projects, the legislature’s finance committee has been
blocked for several months at getting answers about the true cost to taxpayers
for canceling the gas plants....I personally have suspicions that the true cost
will be much higher, if the truth be told.! Keeping in mind Mr. McGuinty that
the "TRUTH" is not supposed to have an
"AGENDA" of any kind....that sir is your ultimate mandate to
everyone in this province, this does not seems to be the case in point with you
and your government what so ever.
In closing, it is my
hope that you will put aside what ever personal agenda you may have, re-think
your decision over a few more times, play devils advocate if you will and come
to the realization that this all serves no other purpose other than to serve
yourself and your Liberal party, had you not locked the legislature, you
and your ministers would have had plenty to answer for. In feeling that you
had nowhere to go and no other card to play, I firmly believe you have
seriously under estimated how this was all going to play out at the end of the
day, you now have an even larger mess to address. The public will eventually be
learning all of the facts, for as I said previously in my letter, the "Truth
should have no Agenda".!
The
Legislature needs to be recalled now, I personally will always believe in the
doctrine of res ipsa loquitur.!
Regards,
Jim
Gamble
Thunder Bay,
Ontario
