Mystery solved.

I have not spent a lot of time in Toronto but looking at the GTA from the air it always gave me the impression of neatness and order.
I have spent a little more time in the Ottawa Valley and Ottawa itself, again neatness and order comes to mind. Those parts of Ontario always made me feel uncomfortable. Not threatened or that something awful was about to happen, but just uneasiness, and when passing the burbs a queasy feeling in my stomach [but I get that in burbs anywhere].
Now I know what it was, and it was such a simple thing. Cant wait until the washing and carpets are hung out to air from all those high rise balconies.
Peace of mind at last.


I have been browsing through some of the Hansard of the Nunatsiavut Assembly meetings. One thing that stands out; it seems that votes on legislation are done by a show of hands, yea or nay.
No record in Hansard as to what member representing what district voted what way. All there is now is how many votes for yea and how many for nay.
Now that seems a little strange in it?

Also, another thing that stands out is the fact that it sure is a government in development. Some basic things like; if a minister or ordinary member was asked to fill in for another minister who’s portfolio had a higher salary than the filling in member was already on, then that filling in minister would not automatically received the higher salary. Now you can come down on either side of that, but it seems strange that there was no provision to address that situation.
As it is now the member’s service committee deals with finances and salary issues of the assembly members. Also, as it is now a member can bring forward a motion to the floor if they are unhappy with any decisions the members service committee makes regards salaries and benefits, and without any notice to the assembly.
A vote is then taken after proper proceedings are followed, but anyone who was not in the assembly at the time has no way of knowing who voted how.
Seems strange in it?
