  1. I wish Bernadette Clement well and good luck on whatever adventures she chooses to engage herself in.

  2. Watch her pensive expression when the group was making its pitch for funding of the feasibility study. To me, it looked as though she wasn’t buying it. (Could be wrong.) But I don’t get the feeling she’d speak up if she wasn’t.

  3. Never liked the Liberal party and this lady did not stand up against discrimination at CCH. Proved herself to be part of the “clique” on city council. Did not stand up with the community on many issues. I won’t vote for her.

  4. When want to be politicians sit on the fence and create the impression that they are reluctant to take a stand on an issue I personally look elsewhere to caste my vote . I choose to look for real leadership qualities and an individual that I can respect and trust to represent the will of the majority .

  5. Clarity. I want ideas, a strong outspoken stand and clarity. I like the person of Ms. Clement yet reserve my desision on such an important ‘gift’ to a polititian that has not said one iotta regarding the issues of the day here in Cornwall I think she is hedging her bets and may try a win with her tail between her legs as we say ‘NO’ as was said when she ran federally.

    Bernadette, you havae big shoes to fill before we can advance you. That b eing said, your grooming has just begun. All the best.

    Now, if a certain Mr.Cameron would run, a man weho wears his convictions on his sleeve as we must see from you, well then, the dogs of war will battle forward.

  6. I wish her good luck. No I don’t. She’s a brown-nosing social climber. And even worse, a McGuinty liberal.

    Admin, would you please put up a warning page before we have to look at these women. I am feeling faint. Same goes for the hospital twins. No offense meant. Thanks for your cooperation.

    You have to be kidding? Being the president of the LFA is a fulltime job. **smile**
