Guergis “dynasty” swept off the mapBy Kate Harries AWARE Simcoe
The electorate has chosen change – a new brand of leaders who have promised to listen to the people, care for the environment and be prudent with our tax dollars.
Yesterday’s municipal election was a significant victory for the hundreds of county residents who rose up against Site 41, who fought for a new approach to waste management and who organized across the County under the AWARE Simcoe banner for transparency, sustainability and fiscal accountability.
The Guergis “dynasty” – standard bearers for behind-closed-doors dealings, over-the-top spending and an arrogant disregard for regular folks – has been swept off the map.

What a wonderful Chritmas present for all the people of Simcoe County. Now let’s make it four for four and make sure Helena goes into the pages of history along with her clan. And let’s hope people will never again allow such a family to hold so much power ever again. Dynasty’s might have been OK! for places like China a thousand years ago but not here. Keep your eye’s open people and your ears cocked. For democracy is easy to lose but very hard to get back once lost.

I can’t view the entire article, it fades out about 2/3 of the way down the screen, and there is no scrolling function.
I tried to PDF it, but that did not work either.

This is a great day in Simcoe County! Thank you AWARE Simcoe for all your hard work.

Okay, so now the small rotten potatoes are gone.
Now what about the larger rotten potatoes? I am thinking, the next step is to get rid of Dolt McGuilty.
But, on what basis? Oh, so many reasons to choose from! HST, OLG, health care, education, debt and deficit, police-state, ineffective leadership, lack of accountability, total obliviousness to truth and common sense….a veritable smorgasbord of inadequacy, corruption and moral vacancy.
