Randy Hillier isn't going away, isn't going to shut up and he isn't going to apologize.

Not even to Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak.

Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, introduces a Bill that would give Ontario's Legislature more oversight over the province's onerous regulations. This Bill, if passed, would create a committee tasked with reviewing regulations to make sure they do not impose arduous, cumbersome and weighty burdens on the people of Ontario.

You know something is wrong with Hydro One when more than half of the calls that come into my offices in Perth, Carleton Place, Napanee and Toronto are about the poor quality of service at Hydro One. I receive more calls from people with hydro problems than I do from people who have issues with all of the rest of the Ontario government, of all its ministries and of its more than 600 agencies, boards and commissions.

This morning I sat down with Lake 88's Norm Wright and had a great chat. We talked briefly about my views on the Canadian Senate and more extensively on my green paper - Constituents First - Empowering Local Legislators. We also got to chat about the out of control hydro bills that most of us are having to deal with in this Province, as well as other things to do with Ontario Politics. 

Have a listen and enjoy!

EMC News - These guns will roar no more in anger. Where once they were used by Canada's soldiers to defend us, the two Howitzers now sit silently, guardians of the respect with which Carleton Place remembers its veterans.

EMC News - Do eastern Ontario's Algonquins have rights, or do they have privileges, under their land claim agreement in principle (AIP)? Well, if you're Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, you believe that the document gives the Algonquins special privileges.
