I am not a particular fan of the liberals (I'm NDP/Green) - but I have had several issues where I have been working with Bardish's office (here and Ottawa) for the last year or so. She and her staff have been extremely polite, positive and helpful, while working with me on big questions, despite there being no immediate fix available. (On another issue, they worked very hard with me over several weeks and found an immediate solution, which was great!)<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Maybe she really is trying to secretly intimidate the opposition by getting logistical info, or maybe this is a simple misunderstanding that is being escalated every time someone else responds in the email thread. If so, I am sure that any meeting we might get with her in this issue will be compromised if we go in assuming the worst. How can we expect to work for positive change if we are so convinced of such negative things about her, based on so little info? If that is how the meeting is going to be started, then I'd rather not be a part of it, since I already have a great working relationship with her and her staff, and I don't want to jeopardize it with these negative assumptions.<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">All I'm saying is that I would give the benefit of the doubt and get more info before assuming intimidation... :)<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Hope that helps,<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">SJM<u></u><u></u></span></p></div></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black"> <u></u><u></u></span></p></div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">On Sun, Nov 19, 2017 at 1:09 PM Mary Jackes <<a href="mailto:mkj@bell.net" target="_blank">mkj@bell.net</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></span></p></div><blockquote style="border:none;border-left:solid #cccccc 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><div><p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">I must say that this leaves an unpleasant taste in the mouth.
