Off to Queen's Park ....
The website for the Legislative Assembly has tons of information that I'm sure you will find interesting and useful as you think about heading off to Toronto on Wednesday! I have created a link in the links area - please visit and browse the site. Share any particular points of interest with us in the comments section.
See you soon!!

Try memorising the seating plan guys lol. For I had too
The hansard is just an amazing thing. Ir flabergasts me
Did the municipal election affect the seating plan?
It's fustratingly impossible.
Simon.....you asked when we were coming.....we have a half hour viewing in the Legislature, from 2:30 - 3:00 on Wed. Nov. 29. We tour and talk beforehand and afterward for a little while. I plan on telling our tour guide that we are friends of yours and see what she/he can arrange. Maybe they'll sneak you out afterward to see us! I don't know if that's even a remote possibility, but it never hurts to ask! If not, then we'll be there enjoying our short time in the LA, cheering you on quietly (of course)! See you then!
You are going to see it in question period. (Probably). The most interesting part of the day. Watch at how they scream and hackle eachother.
The municipal election didn't affect anyhting except a member droped out to run fo rmayor of a city
I must say, the website does offer a lot of information! The part about the exhibits is intersting...
Can't wait 'll Wednesday. I was fascinated by politics all my life-especially the dog fights.
Um....dog fights?!?!
When the politicians argue with each other.
Yeah....I knew that...it's just that...I didn't think they fighted in such a bad manner!!!
Watch the House of Commons Commitee on the TV. Try to follow the politicians' hand signals (especially some of the liberals). Ready to be amused of what you'll discover. I don't think the legislation is so bad, but the House certainly is.
Oh dear...........
..........
.........
I dunno what to say!
can't wait for wednesday.
Of coase u can't. No one can't!
By "librerals," did you mean small- l like you wrote (as in the way of thinking,) or the party itself?
Aren't dogfights aircraft warfare?
Rocking On,
Postman Craig
As in MPs of the liberal party.
Dogfights are also aircraft warfare, but I don't see the problem in using dogfight as meaning dogs fight.
P.S. Ms Watt, since the IB workshop was several days ago, I will come to enrichment tomorrow.(partly because there are 3 tests tomorrow if I don't come, and I can't find the number of the bus company).
WOW! Im so excited! I cant wait!
It will be a very interesting trip!!!See you tomorrow.....
In context, wouldn't it be "fighting like dogs?"
Whatever. We know what you mean.
Rocking On,
Postman Craig
The trip is tomorrow! This will be a great life experience for those of us who are going. I will be much better and more realistic than the version on TV (which I'm watching right now). And we will see Simon there, working at his job.
Can u please bring ur copy of Sophie's World tomorow? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssseeeeeeeeee!
What is Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
Anywho, the place sounds very interesting. I looked at the web pictures. It all looks very grand! I got to tell all my friends at normal school that I get to spend the day in Toronto, watching dog fights! (Hee, hee) I am VERY excited!!
.....Woot! TORONTO!!!....yay!
purple pickle i completely agree! it sounds so awesome and looks so grand! im so excited ! i cant wait!

Lol. I think I meant please. I'm excited too!

that was a great trip today! i really wish that we could have done the simulation activty is saw, but i guess that that kind of activity is only for grade two's.
Yes, but as usual the exciting part was the bus ride(and theeing thimon and the poloticthionths fight, of courths)
I had soooooooooooooooooooooo much fun today......the ROM, Queen's Park, politician's arguing-and of coarse seeing Simon!!!!!!!!!! (I don't think their clothing was weird at all)
Simon, u were awesome at ur job...I wish u could be a page at Queen's Park and come to Mc'Quarrie!!!! Anyhow, that place was beautiful and awesome.....u're probably learning a lot from the politicians....
The bus rides wern't boring at all-q squared knows what i mean! I was soooo sad when the bus ride back to Mc'Quarrie ended! This was definetly the best class trip ever.
Ha, ha, ha!!! The trip was fun, and yet the game we played on the bus was more interesting. Today will be one of the shortest day of my life. The ROM just opened my eye to the history of the world, and I learned more about European history than all of the knowledge at history class combined. (Since we only focus on Canadian history in the classrooms). The Legislative Assembly was magnificent, physically and emosionally (you know what I mean).
It is funny just watching the (dog)fights. But the fights are sometimes useless, because the Liberals are going to win anyways, since they are the majority. Then there is Simon! He was so busy that he didn't even have time to look up at us.
What an awesome day!!!! I have never travelled with such a wonderful group of students!! Thank you to all of you for making it such an easy and FUN day!! And........ I have never been so excited to arrive anywhere on a class trip than walking into our seats in the Legislative Assembly! I could have completely burst when I saw you Simon!!! I think most of our class felt the same way! You looked terrific in your suit, you looked busy and responsible and we were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud to be your friends!!! Thanks for inspiring such a terrific day. We can hardly wait to see you back at McQuarrie and hear much more about your experiences! Thank you everyone for such a fantastic day!! Have a great week - I'll look forward to seeing you next week!
It was only the most terrific bunch of studnets because I wasn't there.... LOL :)
Rockign On,
Postman Craig
P.S. What was the game on the bus? And whaths with the lithsp?
There are different games played by different people, they are mostly about the alphabet.
Example: (Sappire and I played)
RULES:
-Has to be a name in any language
-State the look of the person if the name is not in English
-The first letter of the name have to match the last letter of the name before
-Each person takes one turn at a time
-(The name "Alex" don't really work)
Thank you for coming everybody. You just missed an MPP getting kicked out. that is a first. well i am glad you had a good trip to toronto.
The "lithp" was all because a close friend of ours whose name I cannot mention, just got new braces and couldn't talk very well so we tried to imitate her, and then we tried not to say any words with the letter "s" in them-a very difficult task!! We were also singing songs with a lisp. good times.....
Kewl M&M.
AN MPP GOT KICKED OUT?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WISH I WUZ THERE!=:(
Yea-what happened????
The MPP just didn't shutup and called one lady a liar (not aloud)
What was that MPP's riding?
WOW!
hamilton east
Hamilton East???? Okay...
By the way Simon, if you want you can jot don some of your favourite moments at the Legislative assembly so you can tell us about them when u come back! What's ur favourite spot at Queen's Park anyways? I loved the chamber, the part made of marble, and outside of it where we looked at statues....the place was very beautiful...
I liked the dinosuar bone myth.
Is that MPP still the MPP for Hamilton East, or is he kicked out forever? (He probably wouldn't last the next election anyways).
He was presumably demoted.

Postman Craig
Or she! My bad... um... they. There we go...
Rocking On,
Postman Craig
Oh yeah, it is a she! She was the one who always argues on TV.
Simon's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
