Comic relief from the Liberals
Alan MacIsaac’s private members bill is comic relief to the real issues of government and PEI. While people are worried about the economy, their jobs, fraud and embezzlement (like our buddy Brooke MacMillan) all the up the the Premier’s Office, here comes the jester acting like a country bumpkin.
“Hey fellers, look at me. I got a single idea in my head. Let’s change the sales tax system so you fellers will stop worrying about how dumb the Premier is and how dumb the cabinet is and where the money went from the vault.”
Every TV show and movie has comic relief. Big fat Andy Devine to Wild Bill Hickcock (see if you remember that one), Friar Tuck to Robin Hood, Meathead to Archie Bunker, and Kramer to Seinfeld.
They were big, sometimes gay or asexual so you never confuse them with the lead who might be funny too. The comic relief character breaks the tension, takes your mind off the plot and it’s problems.
Comic relief always has a silly voice, walk or mannerism. They get laughs just by entering the scene. Ha, ha ha – there’s Kramer again. Ha ha ha, there’s that silly Alan MacIsaac again.
Liberal Minister Ronnie McKinley willing to poison children for profit
Ronnie McKinley, Liberal Minister of Highways and Doctor of Death for our children
Editor – Disability Alert reported this story as the first article on the Liberal Millionaires Club on June 19, 2008 following up a story in the Guardian of a week earlier. We reported correctly then that the land, with a skim of dirt is another Love Canal in the making.
Love Canal, along the Niagara Rivers, was meant to be a dream community. Improper dumping of chemical wastes turned it into a tragedy with children dying of various cancers and children born with abnormal birth defects.
The US EPA reported:
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.–Twenty five years after the Hooker Chemical Company stopped using the Love Canal here as an industrial dump, 82 different compounds, 11 of them suspected carcinogens, have been percolating upward through the soil, their drum containers rotting and leaching their contents into the backyards and basements of 100 homes and a public school built on the banks of the canal.
Only a corrupt government would risk the lives of school children to make patronage profits for Ronnie McKinley and Clifford McQuaid.
Why didn’t the Province demand all the tainted soil be removed as it was on the corner of University Avenue for the new Jean Canfield Building? The reason is no doubt because the Federal Government doesn’t want to risk the health of adults, while the Provincial Government will sell our children into a poisonous play field for a few dollars.
The PEI Department of the Environment issued an all safe report for the sports field; however, how can Islanders trust them when the Minister George Webster is a polluting farmer?
Ronnie McKinley has always appealed to Islanders as a friendly, country kind of guy. What if he is really just a money-grubbing creep who doesn’t care for our children? The indicators point that way.
