It never ceases to amaze me how stupid our political leaders are. The coming ban in Ontario against cell phones is just another example of a knee jerk, political law that has little merit.
I agree cell phones should not be used when driving.
But we have laws against careless driving, reckless driving as well as others; these should be strong enough to do something about the problem, assuming there is a problem at all.
I guess its still okay to read a map while driving, eat while driving, drink while driving, look for that CD under the seat, look for a radio station that plays good music, watch DVD’s, shave, put on make-up, threaten the kids in the back seat while driving, get caught up on books on tape or talk radio. There are tonnes of distractions that hamper our driving abilities, but they’re not cool enough to do anything about. Cell phone bans make it look like our Leaders are doing something, when in fact they again, do nothing.

Egypt 1915, just before Gallipoli. My grandfather is on the right in the hat. The other two gentleman are Australian. It would be interesting to findout who they were.

My grandfather is dead centre...the one with his arms crossed, in the funny hat...
Note the man to his left, his arms are forward, hands upright....must be something to that.
Again, China, i believe.

I love genealogy, exploring my family tree and such. I'm going to post some photo's of my grandfather from his time in the British army. He joined the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in 1903 and was discharged in 1918. He was with A company, 1st battalion. As such he seen a great deal of the empire, Crete, Malta, India, China, Egypt, and Gallipoli.
My interest in posting these photo's is just to get them out there, and see if anyone else has any other photo's or even stories to share.
This photo I believe was taken in China, my Grandfather is in the first row, second from the left.
I was right!
Back on September 22, 2008 I said,
“My prediction.It will be a record low voter turnout. Unlike past low voter turnouts, this one will result in a strong CPC minority government. (Generally low voter turnouts, result in a LPC win, and a CPC loss.)”
And I was right!!
I was wrong about Guelph however, but it was a close race none the less. Eight more people out per poll, and Gloria could have won.
I know Glo would have worked hard for Guelph, I just hope Frank will work harder then his predecessor. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until we see what happens.

Election day
Ok, it is E-day, time to get out and vote for the candidate you think will best represent Guelph.
If you’re reading this you already know that my bias is for Gloria Kovach> she has a proven track record of working hard for Guelph. No offence…but who the hell is everyone else????
I’m familiar with Mike Nagy as he’s run unsuccessfully twice before for MP here, but what has he done for Guelph? Nothing I can think of…
Really who is Tom King? Unless you listen to CBC radio you may never have heard of him before, and again what’s he done for Guelph? Nothing I can think of…
And Frank Valeriote, besides being a very expense, high profile lawyer what has he done for Guelph? I mean besides joining every committee that was looking for members.
Folks, Gloria was working her butt off for Guelph long before any of these guys popped up. I know Glo, she will give it everything she’s got to make Guelph a better place. It’s about time we send someone to Ottawa who’s going to sit in the front benches of the governing party.
Please get out and vote for Gloria Kovach.
