The Premier is coming, The Premier is coming!

Joe Comartin better start worrying!

I hear the Premier of Ontario is coming to town tomorrow and is to make a border announcment. Who the heck picked this time when the CAW is negotiating an agreement.

1,100 Ford jobs gone, a chance of 1,500 Chrysler jobs going and who knows how many spin-off jobs. What about GM? What were his strategists thinking?

But what a great set-up for Eddie! What great co-incidental timing. Gord Henderson's column actually mentioned him by name today. It's not Eddie's fault we are in a mess. He's merely a "victim of bad timing." He's just not "lucky."

But all is not lost....we will have to buy the Star on Saturday to see what Gord's solution will be. Gord tells us there a "light at the end of the tunnel" [I hope he does not mean the DRTP Tunnel].

Gord will be able to incorporate McGuinty's announcement to demonstrate how well Eddie is working for us. I wonder if Gord's solution will include begging Eddie to go to Ottawa to be our champion there: to get us money for the border, to get us what St. Thomas and Oakville got for the auto industry. I guess all of us will just have to wait.

The Premier clearly has to endorse Schwartz and offer up some goodies because Sandra and Dwight have to get re-elected. Can't have all of those other auto cities getting the money and not the town of two powerful Cabinet Ministers! And there has to be a carrot of jobs for infrastructure work to start soon. We have lost too many already. I bet Dwight can take credit for that $500 million Gong show promise that he was forced to disown. Wow it's 2010 already!

Then Windsor's own PM Paul Martin and Eddie can negotiate the terms of the deal for Eddie to run federally "mano a mano." I hope that Eddie is a very good negotiator on these kinds of things.

I told you that The Real Plan! The Real Plan! has started http://windsorcityon.blogspot.com/2005/09/part-ii-ambassador-bridge-is-falling.html

Joe, you better get out there campaigning already. The election will be in March, 30 days after the Gomery Report comes out. Or is there a Senate vacancy in Ontario?

UPDATE: Windsor's own, PM Paul Martin is coming to town tomorrow too for a fundraiser I was told. I guess the Three Amigos will be getting together if they are all around for a meeting about something important. (Don't worry, Gord's source will leak all the details so we can read about it in his Saturday column)
