Then one night last week the Milton parade committee met, and the person responsible for chastising me for wanting to walk, told his colleagues he intends to call the Halton Regional Police and have me arrested if I show up on the parade route. Since then at least one of the committee members has indicated this is starting to go way over the top. Obviously he needs more exposure to Conservatives.

I’d seen a bit on Garth Turner (MP-Halton) and a parade, I didn’t realize it had turned into such a flap in Milton. Our region had it’s Santa Claus parade last week, I haven’t been in years, and I couldn’t care less what level of politican marches, rides, does a float or  executes back-flips along the route.  It’s great volunteers take the time to put it on, I hope everyone had a good time. 

Opening up the Milton constituent office is a reasonable compromise. If parade watchers and other left out politicians need to warm up, seems like it’s a good a place as any to watch the goings on, if there is a view and the grownups behave. 
You decide who is being naughty or nice.
