Hopefully they were working on some policies that may actually appeal to working people and not deadbeats. It's been awhile.

Good one, Dagmar. I often wonder how this Milquetoast crowd gets to sleep at night, for blushing and squirming.

Oh. Forgot. Sleep is what they seem to do best. Dang.

I have a great idea. Instead of wondering aloud, try picking up the phone and asking Lali what he thinks. Or some other MLA's. Seems a number of MLA's are doing their critic jobs well. The guy shadowing the ferries, the ones doing th fish farms , childrens issues, welfare and so on. If they had a legislature working instead of Gordon making big policy announcments at the UBCM some real work could get done. Give them money Gordon and you will get a standing ovation every time.

Hi bemused. I did try contacting my M.L.A. (won't mention which one) and all I got were those damnable knee-jerk automatic messages vowing to get back to me ...

One time, a few years back, I wrote to Joy MacPhail just to say how much I appreciated the passionate effort she put into studying the issues and carrying them onto the floor of the House.

Know what? Although, at that time, there was only a 2-person Opposition, she wrote back immediately, saying it was messages like mine which kept her going strong.

I dunno what's wrong with this bunch. Wish I did.
