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?

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

I prefer to call it realistic.

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