BURLINGTON, ON September 14, 2011 – Just so you know and just in case you were confused the Lady Jane sets the record straight. She said:
“In an Inside Halton article a quote was attributed to me that does not accurately reflect my views or those of my Party.
“The PC Party of Ontario and I welcome new Canadians to Ontario. We believe however that Dalton McGuinty’s affirmative action program is wrong. We have 550,000 Ontarians who are unemployed and yet the Liberals want to pay $10,000 each to hire foreign workers.
“I hope this clarifies my position and regret any confusion this may have caused.”
McKenna: - This is her first significant election and the learning curve is steep and there isn’t a lot of time. Hopefully there will be fewer goofs that become provincial campaign issues.
The Lady Jane is Jane McKenna, Progressive Conservative candidate FOR THE Burlington seat in the Ontario Legislature.
Up until very recently Burlington had this problem with a pier that wasn’t getting built. Media throughout the province had us looking like country hicks and the pier was becoming known as “the mistake on the lake”. But we persevered and got that problem back on track and are in the process of becoming known as a community that knows how to overcome adversity.
Then Wham! – a candidate in the provincial election comes out and says something really, really dumb, a comment that was against everything most Canadians stand for and hold dear.. Try as she might, Jane McKenna, Progressive Conservative candidate for Burlington isn’t going to be able to get this albatross off her neck easily. Watch for it to come up during the local debates.
And now Burlington is becoming known as the home of the lunatic Conservative fringe. At least the members of the local Progressive Conservative association can’t be blamed for the candidate – they didn’t pick her.
