DRTP’s New Poll


Matt Marchand is circulating some poll results that demonstrate how much DRTP is loved. Imagine, they spent a whole bunch of money to show that residents don’t want more trucks on Huron Church Road! What a surprise that is.

These results plus Mayoral candidate Hendrix's DRTP support after the Grand Rapids fundraiser held by DRTP's Marge Byington must give them something to be happy about waiting for the DRIC beauty contest finalist results.

Interestingly, they did not give any results for the Ojibway crossing.

What interested me more however is that the contact name for this survey is John Laschinger. If it is the same fellow, he was appointed as John Tory's campaign manager. Laschinger was also the Campaign director behind Belinda Stronach when she was with the Federal Conservatives and remember she came out in favour of DRTP. He was also Toronto Mayor David Miller’s campaign manager.

PS. I just saw the full-page ad that DRTP purchased in the Star. I hope OMERS retirees and City taxpayers do not mind paying for it. I was amused by its wording since it was so predictable.

I wish the DRTP polling had compared DRTP with a solution that kept trucks out of the densely populated parts of Windsor. I wonder if DRTP's score would be so high. Well we all know the answer to that, don't we.
