We are Conservatives!

We are conservatives, because we value hard work, not excuses, and the perpetual blaming of others for situations in which we find ourselves.  We adapt and overcome, therefore, we overcome.   We value the equality of all peoples, as equals, in the sight of a merciful God.  We do will not tell you how to worship, do not tell us how to either.  One should not attempt to alter, a process, and a government which has worked for so many, for so long.  If we seem protective of this nation.  It’s because we ARE!  We do not desire, want, nor covet what you have, we shall work for our own.  And, in the process we shall bring others with us. For a true conservative is generous with what he/she has.  We honour our fallen, for the freedom they died for.  We are conservatives, because we value what is ethical, honourable, and just.  And, we invite all who desire to live free and peaceably, to call Canada their home.   We are just people, like you, imperfect, but free.  We are Canadians and we are Conservatives!

Paul Miner get’s it Right.

Paul Miner get’s it Right.

Early in the campaign Paul Miner candidate for the Mayor of Essex is quoted saying “there is no vision for Essex”.

One of Paul’s visions was a development of Colchester Harbour.
 “I can see an improved harbour with Town house condominiums development” Miner says.

Now in this week Essex free Press October 6, 2010 is being reported that the Colchester Harbour is in troubled waters.

Why?  “I can tell you- the hold up is the town of Essex” Watsa said.  The inaction on the harbour is doing, to the lack of really leadership in Essex.  “We need true leadership, excuses are useless” Miner says. 

What Essex needs is the right leader one that will work to get thing done.

In this election do what is right for Colchester Harbour; vote Paul Miner for Mayor of Essex.

Nine years ago.


Nine years ago.

2001 - Nine years ago Joan Flood was the Mayor of Essex.  She worked extremely hard
            To make the amalgamation work for all residence.  At that time she was making
            about $10,000.00 a year as Mayor.

2010- Today Ron “tout” McDermott is making $30,900.00 a year as Mayor of Essex.

I don’t know how he can justify such a LARGE INCREASE in his wages when so many people are unemployed.

I urge everybody to get out and vote for Paul Miner.  We cannot afford having our Tax Dollars given to Tout McDermott to benefit his wage increases.

Lets us make a difference vote Paul Miner for Mayor of Essex.

Best comment ever on Eddie Francis

I as a senior think Eddie Francis is a liar, self serving holy than thou attitude. He is corrupt and just this about the Windsor Star thing make me ill. I cannot believe this is happening in my city. Limoges will not have time to do too many new things as he has to undo all the knots in the last administration. To you my take on it, how is it right to not do an audit because it is too close to election time, how is it right to swap land with friends and the friend does not take ownership because he will have to pay taxes on it as was agreed. How is it right for Francis to give a tax break to his friend at the Tunnel duty free because he is going through hard times. How is it right for him to give himself and exhorbanat raise when this town is crying for jobs, How is it right for him to give management a 15% raise and force others out on strike. How is it that there was NEVER a derrogartory thing written in the newspaper for 7 years right his chief of staff.

Jeff Watson slams Rick Fryer


Read more: http://www.windsorstar.com/news/Watson+slams+Fryer/3628942/story.html#ixzz11agim1x
      When Jeff Watson was elected in June of 2004, it was an historical political event.  The Liberals had dominated the area for decades, even before the Trudeau era.  He was the first Conservative to be elected in 46 years within Essex County.  Watson had been outspoken about: the Members, federal pensions, the gun registry, and Liberal accountability.  He ran against Susan Whelan, the incumbent Liberal and daughter of popular Senator Eugene Whelan, a former Trudeau cabinet Minister and Member for the Essex Riding.  This young Conservative and former auto-worker had done what most thought was impossible! 
     Soon after his election Watson charged his former campaign manager, Nick Kouvalis with 'uttering threats' in 2005.  This case went to trial in Windsor and resulted in all charges being dismissed against Mr. Kouvalis, on June 24th 2007.  Justice Llyod Dean commented that the charge 'appeared' to be 'politically motivated' by Watson, his wife and Watson campaign workers. Dean cited testimony that the two witnesses spent five days discussing the alleged threat with family and friends, most in the Conservative party, and with Watson, weighing the pros and cons of having Kouvalis arrested, before reporting it to police.
He also cited Schnekenburger's testimony that she and Jonsson had collaborated on a written report about what happened before talking to police. They didn't tell police they had done this and told the court they had lost the report. 
     Jeff Watson made several announcements on moral issues including, condemning Dr.Henry Morgentaler receiving The Award of Canada, in 2008.  Watson in his written statement said the choice of Morgentaler, one of 75 people receiving the honour this year, is a “continuation of the sad legacy of the Paul Martin administration. Today, through his appointee for governor general, Mr. Martin has succeeded in politicizing the Order of Canada and in doing so diminishing its value and undermining our culture of life.”  Certainly, Mr. Watson's stance upon such ethical issues in the rural County of Essex has helped his career.
      Other issues and comments have placed Jeff Watson countering his own policies.   In 2007, a soon-to-be federal Reform party candidate, Watson described the pension plan for MPs as "filthy rich" and a trough for Liberals. In a letter published in The Star, he praised Reform MPs for acting with integrity by opting out of the plan.  On Friday, June 25th 2010 Watson said the plan has changed. "The pension plan was different then," he said. "There's no opt-out provision now." Pensions are also only one part of the benefits package, Watson said. "My benefits as an MP are less than what I had as an autoworker." Watson said a majority of federal politicians aren't in office long enough to qualify for a pension and those who leave politics will not necessarily find it easy to return to a former job or line of work. "There's no safety net." But as a member of the "Class of 2004," Watson finds himself in the crosshairs of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.   It is obvious that Mr. Watson's stance is less than credible, claiming his benefits are less than those of an auto-worker, especially when he ran on a platform against pensions.
       Now, Watson has weighed into municipal politics, slamming a candidate against an incumbent.  As a Member of Parliament his actions smack of interference in the democratic process.  "I don't think it's appropriate for the MP to stick his nose overtly into municipal politics," said Lloyd Brown-John, University of Windsor professor emeritus.  "I don't think he (Watson) has a grasp on what his role is," added Brown-John.  Dr. Brown-John also commented that: " Watson appears to think that he is The King of Essex". 
       Citizen comments in rebuttal to Watson's attack, on CKLW AM 800, were against his interference and deeply contaminative of his actions.  It is obvious that Watson is contributing to his own political demise, and his arrogance may not serve him well in a coming election.  Maybe there is an autobiography in the work here with a possible title of "My Own Undoing", by Jeff Watson, former Member of Parliament.
