Since the October 6th election, there has been a lot of speculation about what the 40th Ontario Parliament will look like. As a province we are in unusual territory, having chosen to give no party a majority while struggling through one of the worst economic downturns in decades.

Before I begin this week’s column I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to write, visit one of my offices, or speak with me about the Long Gun Registry issue this past week. I was very encouraged by your support and believe that I have a clear mandate to vote to abolish the Long Gun Registry when I return to Ottawa.

I went into my clothes closet Friday morning and looked at my collection of clothes. There were the button down white shirts, the blue shirts and the grey shirts. All are long sleeved. All are dress shirts and I even have one that is pink and another that is beige. I have three patterned shirts. I have black slacks and navy slacks.
Nothing seemed that special. Most men’s clothing is not all that fashionable. I really don’t know what I was looking for but Friday morning it seemed pretty drab.

November 11 is Remembrance Day across Canada and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the brave men and women who have served, or are currently serving in our armed forces.
