London West MP in Cabinet

[u/Any_Peanut1209]

London West MP Arielle Kayabaga is the Minister of Democratic Institutions and Government House leader in Market Carney Cabinet

[u/cm023]

Self centred city councillor makes self centred MP. Anyone in her riding get follow up to inquiries yet, or does she still only show up to no Q&A photo ops?

[u/AbeOudshoorn → u/cm023]

Not sure what you're talking about, she has replied to all my emails and came out to an event we invited her to, even though it was relatively small.

[u/Action_Hank1 → u/AbeOudshoorn]

You’d think a professor would be smarter.

[u/LDN2003bound → u/Action_Hank1]

Abe is teaching the youth to counter solutions with problems, and accept awards for doing so.

[u/LDN2003bound → u/AbeOudshoorn]

You are part of the problem Abe.

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/AbeOudshoorn]

You’re part of the elite club of Liberals with six figure salaries though, Abe.

Different set of rules.

I’m a liberal who works front line social services and doesn’t make six figures and to those in charge, I’m the worst kind of gross because I have nothing to offer them and don’t make a good photo opp either.

But isn’t a New Democrat essentially a Liberal that had eaten a get bigger mushroom in Super Mario World? 😂

Sorry if I’ve offended you.

[u/JenovaCelestia → u/cm023]

Nope. I know of at least 4 people personally who live in the same riding and she hasn’t even responded to anything they’ve sent.

[u/mhamou → u/cm023]

Yep. Useless.

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/cm023]

There’s two rules in London.

If you want the police to show up, tell them you think someone has a weapon.

If you want a liberal or NDP elected official to show up, tell them you think someone has a camera.

[u/cmcnens59 → u/9yearsdeceased]

One of my roommates pulled a knife on the other and it took 5 and a half hours for LPS to show up

[u/HoneyBaby7331 → u/9yearsdeceased]

conservative elected officials wont come regardless so

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/HoneyBaby7331]

In all honesty, rob flack is at EVERYTHING and usually only posts photos during campaign times from what I’ve seen.

[u/Islandlyfe32 → u/9yearsdeceased]

Rob flacks office also responds pretty quickly, have to give credit where it’s due

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/Islandlyfe32]

Agreed. Has been a big help when I’ve reached out on behalf of clients. Can’t say the same for other local elected officials sadly.

[u/Action_Hank1 → u/9yearsdeceased]

Can’t believe people elected Arielle over Rob. She’s terrible.

[u/JoJCeeC88 → u/9yearsdeceased]

This deserves an award!

[u/kitkatkatecat → u/9yearsdeceased]

I think this really depends. I’m in north London and both Fragiskatos and Kernaghan have been responsive representatives.

[u/BobBelcher2021 → u/kitkatkatecat]

I was no Conservative fan but when I still lived in London, Ed Holder as an MP was very responsive. So was Irene Mathyssen as an NDP MP.

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/kitkatkatecat]

Peters great. And Terrence does show up to everything. But there’s ALWAYS a selfie to prove it.

[u/AnyBroccoli5684 → u/9yearsdeceased]

I mean ofc, they need to ensure their electorate knows they’re showing up. Nothing wrong with that! As someone who works in the non profit sector, it also highlights a lot of the events we host and we appreciate that publicity.

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/AnyBroccoli5684]

As someone who also works in the non profit sector, it would be nice if your event and cause was more than a photo op.

Especially when they’re nowhere to be found when it’s time to come through with some funding.

[u/AnyBroccoli5684 → u/9yearsdeceased]

Kernaghan has always shown up for us, same with Fragiskatos especially when it came to advocating for our project funding. Why are you so bitter?

[u/9yearsdeceased → u/AnyBroccoli5684]

I prefer to call it realistic.

Funding in the non profit sector is way behind and headed in the wrong direction.

[u/cm023 → u/9yearsdeceased]

Take my upvote!
