Our present. Your future. Donate to ACO Join ACO Visit our Website Moving forward as members of ACO Dear Nutshell readers, Some of you have recently received membership expiry notices. Some people were confused and many were delighted. We are happy to let you know that we now have a renewal reminder system in place that will let you know when your membership is about to expire. We have also made it easier to renew your membership online, and view your records, so that you can update addresses, emails, or any other contact information we have on file for you. This is progress! As with most things, the system will take a bit of time to work perfectly. Please bear with us as we transition to this new system and smooth out the wrinkles. If you received a message in error, if you are encountering any problems accessing or using the database, or need help renewing your membership, please let us know and we'll be happy to help you. If you have not already done so, we encourage you to check your membership status online, and make sure that the information we have on file for you is correct. Just go to the ACO website, www.acontario.ca and log in. Your username is your email address and your password is your postal code (with a space in the middle). Again, let us know if you encounter any challenges and we'll help get you in. Some of you have been receiving ACORN Magazine in the mail even though your membership has lapsed. We are refreshing the membership database so that this will no longer be the case. If you love ACORN, please be sure to renew your membership. The Spring issue will be coming to you in April, and it's a fun one; Places Of Play. Your membership must be active by Wednesday March 20 if you want to ensure that you are included in the April mailing of ACORN. Thank you again for supporting ACO through your membership. It helps us operate, and also shows funders and politicians how many people care about heritage. The more members we have, the more effective we can be. If you like the work ACO is doing and are not yet a member, we hope you'll consider joining us! p.s. we have a brand new Membership Coordinator, Tai So (we'll introduce her properly in the next Nutshell), and she is happy to help you with any membership issues you have. She can be reached at [email protected] Heritage Advocacy day a big success On Wednesday February 20th, ACO held its annual Heritage Advocacy Day at the Ontario Legislature in Toronto. Over the course of the day 24 delegates from across the province met with 25 MPPs, and carried on the conversation with many more at our reception. This year ACO highlighted the important economic and community benefits of heritage conservation, and raised our concerns over Bill 66, the fate of older school buildings and the future of Ontario Place. It was great to hear MPPs supportive of ACO’s message, with many positive connections made and ideas exchanged. Thank you to all those who participated and who came to the reception for investing your time and expertise. Our advocacy doesn’t stop there though. We encourage everyone to continue promoting heritage awareness in your communities and with your local representatives throughout 2019. Hon. Michael A. Tibollo, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport (left) and ACO President and Chair Leslie Thompson (from left) Dan Schneider, Felicity Pope, Hon.

Help Save The Historic Port Hope Hospital That Treated World War 1 Soldiers ACO Port Hope is fighting to save the historic hospital that treated our WW1 soldiers during and after the war. Port Hope Council plans to vote June 19 to reverse their unanimous decision to designate the Historic Hospital buildings. ACO Port Hope recently completed a Conservation Review Board hearing where Phil Carter was the expert witness for the Municipality of Port Hope. Phil Goldsmith and Bruce Bowden spoke on behalf of ACO as participants. Since a new Council was elected late last year, there are four new representatives on Council, who have had minimum exposure to this issue. ACO Port Hope has met with each new councillor to update them on the property and explain the designation process. ACO Port Hope also created and published a small booklet which summarises the history of the building, the reasons for designation and ACO's past projects. There is currently an online petition, which will be submitted to Port Hope Council before their final vote. It would help if the numbers were higher. YOU MAY ADD YOUR NAME TO THE PETITION BY CLICKING HERE. We'll follow this story and keep you notified of the outcome in an upcoming Nutshell.

Municipalities are working around the clock to support our communities through the pandemic, keep residents safe and help people and businesses through these economic challenges. We are all taking extraordinary measures to support our residents, including our most vulnerable. Halton staff, whether in paramedic services, long-term care or public health, have been working tirelessly to protect the health and safety of our residents. We have been collaborating with the Ministry of Health on reporting, requesting and securing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Halton’s needs. Internally, we have been working diligently to prioritize, manage as well as secure our own PPE supplies to meet the growing needs of our staff and residents in long-term care. I would ask for your formal assistance to expedite the provision of the PPE that we need to be able to deliver increased testing requirements and protect our front line health care workers. Specifically, we are requesting Nasal Pharyngeal swabs, N95 and surgical masks, sanitizer wipes and gel. We have been working with the Ministry of Health to request these supplies. However, some of our PPE delivery remains outstanding and it is critical that we receive these supplies as soon as possible.

There are three more sitting weeks before MPPs break for the holiday recess. Thursday’s debates and proceedings In the morning MPPs kicked off third reading debate on Bill 32, Access to Natural Gas Act. ​ ​ A Liberal bill was defeated while a PC backbencher bill and motion were passed during the afternoon’s private members’ business debate. ● Liberal MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers’ Bill 49, Charter Rights Transparency Act, died on a ​ ​ ​ ​ recorded vote (Ayes 19; Nays 54) after second reading. ● PC MPP Mike Harris’ Bill 50, Cutting Red Tape for Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, was sent ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly after passing second reading.

    “As a Straight, White Man — Wait, Not White.”

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 6, 2020 Quotation of the day “As a straight, white man — wait, not white.” Liberal leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo, who is of Asian descent, makes a quip about using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fellow contender Steven Del Duca’s speaking notes during the party’s LGBTQ forum. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. In the park The Ontario Autism Coalition will stage a “freeze-in” to protest the Ford government’s delay in implementing a needs-based autism program. Families and advocates will march on the legislature’s south lawn and stand still for five minutes at 11:30 a.m. Coronavirus scare shines light on need for public health funding: NDP The Opposition and government traded barbs over concerns about the coronavirus at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. That’s despite the latest update from provincial health officials that there are no new cases beyond the three previously confirmed, and as the number of cases under investigation continued to drop this week. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath held a press conference to call on the PCs to reverse future ​ ​ funding cuts to public health, while Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office fired back that ​ ​ Horwath was trying to “score political points.” “Ontario’s expert public health officials have been unanimously clear: Ontario is prepared to effectively respond to the 2019 novel coronavirus, something Andrea Horwath herself acknowledged,” Elliott’s spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email statement. ​ ​ Kann added that public health officials have briefed the NDP three times on the matter in order to ensure all MPPs are informed and “to demonstrate that the health and safety of Ontarians is and always should be above politics.” Horwath did admit Ontario’s response to the outbreak has been “outstanding” but stressed that “we need to keep it that way.” She urged the PCs to cancel planned funding cuts and asked the government to review public health resources in order to keep Ontarians safe in the future.

    Examining the Professionalization of the Political Trade in the Ontario Legislature

    From Part-Time Worker to Full-Time Professional: Examining the Professionalization of the Political Trade in the Ontario Legislature Andrea Ernesaks 2012-2013 Intern Ontario Legislature Internship Programme (OLIP) 1303A Whitney Block Queen’s Park Toronto, Ontario, M7A 1A2 [email protected] www.olipinterns.ca Draft version: Please do not cite without the author’s permission Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association 6 June 2013, Victoria, British Columbia Ernesaks 1 Introduction There is an old adage suggesting that one should never openly discuss politics or religion in polite company. The reason for this is simple: two controversial topics of conversation, it has been said, can make for one very awkward social engagement. There is, however, an unfortunate consequence that can occur as a result of being so risk averse: the emergence of a public that knows nothing about its own elected officials. In current day Ontario, few individuals fully understand the real pressures and responsibilities innate to political office. MPPs are tasked with representing their constituencies, completing their legislative duties, confronting the media and towing the party line, all whilst trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life. The majority of an MPP’s political life is spent at Queen’s Park, not in their own home ridings, and maintaining their persona as “the politician” is an almost 24/7 endeavour. On top of all of these responsibilities, MPPs are endlessly scrutinized by the public and the media, who always believe their actions to be suspect and their motives self-serving. This, however, has not always been the case.
