June we’ll be back at the polls here in Ontario voting in a new provincial government. This year the political climate is quite strange. The PCs have selected Doug Ford as their leader (I’m going to resist the urge to candidate bash here) which seems a strange choice to me. The Liberals seem to have ticked off the more vocal and volatile conservative base. The NDPs and Greens are once again framed as being inconsequential. It should not be surprising that even in our last election there was a rise in the number of rejected ballots and I suspect that trend will continue. (You can vote non-confidence in Ontario and if enough do the election of a riding is redone with new candidates!)
Month: May 2018
This last week and again this week I am providing pulpit supply for St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Richmond, ON. What a great congregation. I ended up getting some of the information I needed to prepare the service midway through last week, which made for quite a busy week. This busyness was compounded by the realization that Presbyterians really work to put together their liturgies!
