Hey Ralph –

Plans for a new hospital in Sioux Lookout have been in the works for over a decade. Roger had nothing to do with that. Give credit where credit is due. This had nothing to do with Mr. Valley.

Roger’s campaign is mute, what about Susan’s. The NDP campaign in this riding was largely based on the allegation that Fed Nor funds were being spent in southern Ontario. It took the incumbent to set her straight, which she finally admitted to in the Kenora paper. She commented that perhpas the funding model used by Fed Nor should be changed as it gave THE APPEARANCE that money meant for the north was going south. All the NDP ads and literature were based on the false appearance. GUYS do your homework.

No, Edward is not being insulting, he’s being critical; and Susan Barclay is his MOM!

Niether will the Liberals … does that make them irrelevent? Why do people lose interest in politics? Because they get tired of being told that their views are irrelevent. I am critical of Roger’s record. I am critical of the way he insulted me and my riding. I am tired of his excuses. (“I only had 18 months …” — honestly it just sounds whiney.) Im not insulting him .. Im being critical. That is my right. My comments are based on fact. With the Liberal gov’t dissolved, the Forestry Caucus no longer exsists – that is a fact Based on that most of what he based his campaign on is mute. A true effort would have been to create a true parliamentary committee that would still exsist no matter who gets in power. I have no idea what they were thinking.

Forestry is a provincial juristiction. The member of the Kenora riding in Queen’s Park is the leader of the NDP. Howard has accomplished nothing, just as an NDP federal member would accomplish nothing.

No one in this election even remembers the NDP, they are irrelevant. They can make all the promises they want because they know they will not be in power. They promise to address the forestry issue, get back the lost jobs. No way! Susan and the NDP know they will never be brought to task because they will never be government.

What character slur?

I quoted him. I think cpac will broacast again this weekend. And the Forestry Caucus problem is a statement of fact. It’s an issue for those who lost their jobs, just maybe not for you Donna.

I would suggest that as people start disparaging those who have bravely put their name forward for public service now and in the past, they exhibit desperation.

It is easy to put your initials on a website and cast aspirations on those who are running for public office.

I would think that I speak on behalf of many Canadian who are totally turned off by the character slurs and name calling by those without the intelligence to discuss the issues.

It’s funny. The same people who used to say “Vote Valley” because we need an MP in govenment are now saying “Vote Valley” because the Liberals are NOT going to take power. Which is it?

You know what? The Forestry Caucus that Roger Valley worked so hard to create … It was not an official parliamentary committee. It was a Liberal party creation. It will cease to exsist under a Conservative government. To be effective, true parliamentary committees contain members from all parties and remain intact no matter who is in power. The Liberal party and Roger Valley blew it.

I watched Roger on cpac and I am embarrased to have him represent me. At one point he said that if Canada was a doughnut, this riding would be the hole. Valley called this riding a hole. Thanks for speaking up for me Rog, ol buddy ol pal.

Roger Valley signed a card as a member of the Liberal party. If he is so different from the corrupt members he should not be a member of a corrupt party. At least he should have spoken out against it. He did not. A Liberal is a Liberal is a Liberal.

The liberal party is not going to win – it’s going to be a conservative government – so forget aboutpunishing the party, lets not punish ourselves – we need Valley to fight for us or we will be totally ignored. Our needs here are too important to not be heard.

I agree with “sally” that locally the Conservatives have had very offensive ads, but Valley’s and Barclay’s ads and comments have not been offensive in my opinion. Perhaps you consider the mention of Liberal corruption as offensive? John says “we should not punish an innocent MP”, but in our political system that’s the only way we can send a message to Paul Martin that we won’t tolerate his party’s scandals. Voting for a Liberal candidate is giving support to a corrupt government. Voting NDP is the best choice for me.
