A few thoughts
How about that black school?
What a bunch of nonsense, imagine that a segment of society that has trouble keeping their kids in school now demanding a school of their own. How about this - give the kids a decent school with good teachers and a commitment to excellence. I'm no educational expert but surely a good curriculum committee in the school board could write up a set of courses that would encourage all kids to stay in school, if the black kids think that by learning about "black values" would keep them in school go for it but within the system.
How soon we forget!
Talk of regional development, Hamilton Twp and Cobourg are thinking of sharing a land use for future job growth, kinda makes one think about the "Diamond Triangle". A regional development organisation that failed about fifteen years ago in a flash of municipal jealousies. I often wonder just how much institutional memory remains in the municipal sphere these days.
Goodbye to election signs
The County has banned election signs on all County roads. A silly decision, but completely predictable considering it came from the King of Northumberland - Big Hec - the Mayor of Trent Hills. One side effect would be the reduction of campaign budgets as only half the number of signs will be needed now. At $7.50 a pop a lot of money is going to be saved.
The last outrage for last
"Steve" is running scared of the prospect of his political situation worsening and is now trying to engineer a Federal election. He and a few stupid liberals are lusting for an election, he will get one, spend a lot of money and the electorate will not be impressed. We do not want an election, but we will be getting one. Sad, and a waste of money.

Regarding your comments about establishing an "Afro Canadian" school in Toronto, did you realize your opinion is right in line with one Mr. Dalton McGunity?
How unusual...but I agree with both of you. This is too much like John Tory's balmy idea to allow every religious denomination around to set up their own schools.
That kind of initiative only divides us more, when what we need is to see that we are all the same under the skin/behind the mask.
Cue the songs: "People are people wherever you go" and "It's a small world after all"
We need to put a stop to these regressive, wrong headed fixes. Next the rich will want to have their own schools too - oh, wait a minute, they already have those, don't they?
Stevie Harper does not understand that minority governments can only get things done that have the agreement of other parties. This is an excellent system which means that the rest of the population are not disenfranchised and it is the next best thing to proportional representation. If he forces and election I can only hope that he looses.
