Jan Mowbray's Blog: October 2012
http://janmowbrayblog.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 2, 2012. It begins at Home. This is an excellent article from. Burlington Mayor, Rick Goldring's blog. I've copied it here in its entirety. A good place to start. Regardless of who wins the U.S. election, a significant portion of the country will vote for Mitt Romney and his party. The make-up of society is always changing. Changes in our economy and demographic generate much of this change as ebbs and flows create different circumstances. The gap between the wealthiest and the p...As an...

http://janmowbrayblog.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 4, 2014. 8220;It will be a choice between my safe hands and their reckless schemes.” Says Premier Kathleen Wynne. She apparently said it with a straight face. Hello, what about the $1.1billion power plant fiasco? Not to mention the latest news that police are investigating the erasing of emails related to the true cost of the power plant cancellation. What about the $1billion ORNGE debacle? I think not. It’s time to hand over the reins to the NDP. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Wednesday, December 11, 2013. Despite stats that show seniors have lower accident rate, are arbitrary regulations on the way? On top of all the billion-dollar boondoggles which keep surfacing in Ontario, along comes something that will impact on the mobility of seniors. Everyone in Ontario Should Know About this Fraud. When an email comes through asking me to distribute far and wide, I always do my own research to ascertain its validity. So much garbage is fed through the internet with no basis in truth.

Wednesday, October 15, 2014. More women needed on council. The OSC Regulators have made the case for more women directors in the boardrooms. Research shows that boards that are more diverse are better able to consider challenges from all perspectives. I would add that, by extension, better decisions. This same rationale applies to municipal councils. In general, women practice more collaborative styles of working that benefit decision-making and inclusive processes. Understanding that decisions made by m...

Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Needing to purchase one more gift? I have a suggestion. On a new tangent today. In order to maintain my ability to volunteer, I work at a part-time job. As anyone knows, it isn't cheap being a volunteer with the cost of gas to travel to meetings and events, the cost to buy tickets to attend those events, memberships to belong to the organizations for whom one volunteers and so on it goes. For the full product line. If you haven't finished your shopping yet, the gift cards.

In the case of Hudak's immediate goal of firing 100,000 government workers – let me say this…. We all know the case against. Everyone knows that we would all be better off with less bureaucracy and fewer bureaucrats in our lives. So when conservatives want to make shrinking government sound attractive, they s...

Jan Mowbray's Blog: Tougher Rail Safety Regulations needed
http://janmowbrayblog.blogspot.com/2015/04/tougher-rail-safety-regulations-needed.html
Saturday, April 4, 2015. Tougher Rail Safety Regulations needed. An article in today's Star (April 4, 2015) speaks of Toronto's Mayor and 17 councillors writing the federal Transport minister asking for tougher rail safety regulations. Kudos to them. But constructing grade separations won't make the tracks safer. It's the basic infrastructure, rules and regulations, and. After Lac-Mégantic and other rail disasters, we shouldn't have to plead for better rail safety regulations. It's well past time whe...
