Federal Election 2011: Political party responses

On April 5, the Canadian Conference of the Arts (CCA) sent the leaders of the five major federal parties a series of questions relevant to the arts, culture and heritage sector. We are publishing the responses we received in their entirety, without any edits or commentary. In order to facilitate comparison among the parties' responses, we have formatted their answers in a table format, according to each individual question asked. An empty table indicates that we did not receive an answer to that particular question. Please note that the CCA translated the Bloc Québécois' answers from French to English.

To read the responses please visit http://ccarts.ca/en/advocacy/bulletins/2011/1611.htm

Week Fourteen - My 2011 In Pictures

Just one picture this week. But I thought this was a great sign of spring. This is the first year that I noticed these little guys getting sun, I'm sure that is just an oversight on my part, but I thought they were worth a picture. Hope everyone enjoys.

Week Thirteen - My 2011 in Pictures

Queens Place in Liverpool - Really starting to shape up

Add caption

This is a Road??? LaBelle Road in Queens County.

Sunday April 3 was a beautiful day, plus 10 degrees and beautiful sun.  The Queens Place project in Liverpool is proceeding nicely.  Over 1/2 of the funds have been raised and the commitments are in place from the necessary levels of government.  There is of course the question of 14,000 residents in Queens County and how much use the facility will get. But it is a good thing...providing the operating costs are bearable.

The potholes that pass for a road are another matter.  The LaBelle road has been only potholes for the past three weeks and although the frost boils are drying up the potholes are still taking a toll on all the cars that are forced to drive the trail daily.  Where is the grader?  I invite every politician, regardless of whether they are federal, provincial or municipal to drive their cars over this poor excuse for a road. 

Enough of the rant.  As you can see, I'm back with more pictures of my 2011. Some weeks are missing...slow news weeks:-)  or I was too busy or life was too boring.
