...
For weeks leading up to and including election day, hopeful politicians walk the streets, knock on doors, attend functions, and anything else they can do to persuade the general public that they are the "Person For The Job". They would never act like children in a playground.
Successful persons are sworn in and become a Member of the House of Assembly (MHA). The Party Leader becomes Premier, with others appointed as Ministers.
One is named Speaker of the House. At this time, the Speaker is Roger Fitzgerald, a distinguished man with a deep, judge style voice. His job is to maintain House Rules and ensure that all elected officials are behaving themselves (which they should be anyway) and abiding by those rules.
Lately, MHA Fitzgerald has been allowing kindergarten style antics to be displayed and bullying to continue in this sacred place of politics, even though it is against the rules that he is charged with upholding.
I had asked the Speaker of the House to have the Premier apologize to Lorraine Michael for his disrespectful comments last month, but no apology was asked for, leaving me to believe that he allowed the Premier to break the rules of the House of Assembly.
If a Kindergarten Teacher allowed the same to continue in the classroom, what kind of children would we have?
Maybe a Quebec Judge should be made Speaker of the House? They seem to act unbiased and they surely aren't afraid of our Premier.
