“There isn’t a day goes by that I don’t see someone on the streets of Toronto, an adult, with no helmet on their head, and I want to get out of my car or off the sidewalk and I want to grab them and I want to shake them.” ~ Michael Prue, Ontario NDP MPP

“I can tell you one thing. We came here to work, we didn’t come here to play games. That means getting on with the job of voting on bills, legislation, the spending of the taxpayers’ money and holding the government to account.” ~ Jack Layton See that? He wants to spend taxpayers’ money. And of
