I have read several books on it. However, this is just like Harper to cherry pick an incident to try and make himself look good. we need to get rid of this guy.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-32414777087868536442014-09-12T21:17:13.820-04:002014-09-12T21:17:13.820-04:00election can't come soon enough.election can't come soon enough.Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251168248457758117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-48799234718007042802014-09-12T18:45:40.178-04:002014-09-12T18:45:40.178-04:00Hari OM

And that's just the beginning with this man.

About half a mile upstream, they had created a catchment basin to control flooding, way before I moved to Kanata. Now they are enlarging it, and adding bells and whistles, and making it impossible to walk around there during the week. All kinds of heavy equipment. But on weekends, I can walk there, and that is where I found that lot of mud, and the scooter, and some other construction things. If you want more detail, it was in the "roadway" they use beside Terry Fox, to keep the heavy equipment off Terry Fox itself. This will explain why you will not see those gorgeous images of the geese on the pond with the morning mist rising around them. The place is too noisy for the geese!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609527768798543641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-61145842460602872232014-09-12T13:54:55.002-04:002014-09-12T13:54:55.002-04:00Dr Pat Sutherland, I truly hope she had a separate...Dr Pat Sutherland, I truly hope she had a separate filing system somewhere else, and she can access all that data again, hidden agendas, they must be world-wide, and for what reason? Money?Power? Prestige? or a lift up the ladder of " This is who I am".I am sure one day some of the rungs will fall off and they will topple. Interesting, and thanks so much for sharing.
