DEMOCRACY - After
a long battle with the provincial
government, Democracy died suddenly at
the hands of Minister John Gerretson and
Priemier Dalton McGuinty, Thursday
February 19, 2004 in the Council Chambers
of the City of the Kawartha Lakes. A
long-time resident of the late Victoria
County, Democracy had suffered many
set-backs following the late county's
demise but was mistakenly thought to have
rallied following a majority vote in a
referendum last fall. When Minister
Gerretson announced Thursday that
majority rule did not apply in this
province, Democracy was finally and
brutally murdered. Democracy is survived
by those citizens who still believe in
her and have not abandoned hope. In
lieu of flowers, please send letters to
the Minister of Municipal Affairs and the
Premier of Ontario expressing your
outrage over their complicity in her
death. The addresses can be found at www.yesvictoria.com A memorial service
will be announced at a later date.
