Can someone please tell former Cornwall mayoral candidate Mark MacDonald the election was over 15 months ago. A note to Pat Finucan or any other potential Liberal candidates in the soon to be coming Ontario provincial election. Book a few buses for the nomination meeting right now and pack them full of your supporters or you might end up with the same guy next time.

Strathmore - March 8, 2012 - A few random thoughts this week.

- Can someone please tell former Cornwall mayoral candidate Mark MacDonald the election was over 15 months ago.

- A note to Pat Finucan or any other potential Liberal candidates in the soon to be coming Ontario provincial election. Book a few buses for the nomination meeting right now and pack them full of your supporters or you might end up with the same guy next time.

- If I was SD & SG MP Guy Lauzon I'd be quaking in my boots because of the robocall “scandal”. Any day now some Liberal or NDP'er will be calling for a recount to see if they can pick up an extra 21,000 votes.

- A suggestion to Elections Canada? To increase the number of voters, you should spend some of our $300,000,000 election budget on a disposable cell phone and a call centre. Apparently those two things are powerful enough to affect an election.

- I read some Air Canada employees and its union are furious over the company's pension offer. Furious? I wonder how many Canadians are furious because they don't have one?

- Ontario isn't the only province with wasteful stupid spending. Although I have to say, when Ontario wastes money it does it in a big way (ORNGE, E-Health, OLG, green energy). Here in Alberta the latest scandal involves a committee that has been paying its twenty one MLA members $1000 a month even though the committee hasn't had a meeting since 2008. A member of the committee justified the spending by saying the members have to be on call in case a meeting is called. It's good to see excuses can be equally dumb in both provinces.

- Media hypocrisy the United States? Rush Limbaugh calls someone a slut on his show and is vilified by the MSM. Former Democratic New York Governor Eliot Spitzer has sex with one and gets a show on CNN.

- All my best to Chris Savard and his family as they move to Windsor. Chris has made a real mark on Cornwall over the years and he can be proud of his accomplishments. Cornwall's loss is Windsor's gain.
