Colin Carrie MP, Ostrich or Turkey?


In reference to the article ‘Mayor Meets May’ in the April 3rd edition (Oshawa Express) you quote Colin Carrie MP – in a previous letter that the decision to build the plant (Ethanol) was solely that of the OPA (OshawaPort Authority) “The Federal Government had no part in selecting or recommending the port as a potential biofuels facility,” “I am really disappointed that groups who are aware of these facts are intentionally misrepresenting them for their own political gain.” I couldn’t believe it, is he that much of a turkey (a bird so full of sh*t  that it can’t fly) or maybe an ostrich with his head so far down where the sun don’t shine that he can’t see the light of day?
The Oshawa Port Authority is under the auspices/jurisdiction of Transport Canada i.e. the federal government, five of the seven board members are appointed by the federal transport minister. Three members of the federal government sit on the board and ‘Farm Tech’ (by collusion) thus four out of seven OPA board members have a direct vested interest in seeing an ethanol plant proceed.  For Mr. Carrie to say ‘The Federal Government had no part in selecting or recommending the port’ is just a crock.
I didn’t vote in the last election because I wasn’t happy with the selection of candidates, my mistake, it won’t happen again. Next election I will vote and it won’t be for Colin Carrie.
