I also heard on the news tonight that Hillier says $700,000 of membership fees went missing under Brown's watch.

Its basically how Jagmeet Singh & Patrick Brown won party conventions. Of course one has to collect the vote of the new members, at the correct time via electronic voting or ballot stuffing. Then what? Oh, talking points and incessant feeding of mainstream media to win the 'hearts & minds' of families (always the families.. especially 'hard working families') It become laughable insulting bafflegarb<br /><br />It seems PC MPP Hillier may blow Patrick Brown out of the water soon. Wanting to know how party memberships sailed from 14,000 to 200,000 - A major issue being boxes upon boxes of memberships.. many incomplete & where is the money? That sounds & smells like election fraud. We have heard little from his party since Patrick declared total vindication & that he had cleared his name & would be suing the arse off CTV (who told him to stuff it or bring it on)<br /><br />The other 4 contenders? Spare me.. Two are opportunists. One a well meaning elder, the other a famous name trying to jump into politics. Meanwhile, this is a dumpster fire.. media fanning the flames. Public servants?

Horwath is a screw up. Wynne has everyone pissed off over the Hydro fiasco. Now the Tories shoot themselves in the foot. It's a good thing Ontario voters won't be given a "none of the above" option on the next ballot.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.com
