Petrowski’s
enemies are becoming bolder and more virile in their attacks.
Liberal MP
Bittle condemns Petrowski for not embracing same sex marriage. Does that apply
to everyone who does not embrace same sex marriage?
Liberal MP
Bittle continues his attack by accusing Petrowski of “hate-filled tirade” for
expressing his concern regarding rushing immigration without valid screening!
Former Councilor Jeff Burch has filed a complaint against Police Board member Petrowski for raising concern regarding the difficulty with the screening process and the possible risk inherent in unnecessarily fast tracking the immigration of 25/50 thousand refugees.
It is extraordinary and extreme that anyone would describe a police service board member's concern for public safety, predicated on political haste and suspect screening, as (according to Liberal MP Bittle) “hate-filled tirade”, "hateful comments" or (according to Burch) "Hateful and bigoted''.
A better strategy for our local political assassins and their simple sycophants might have been to consult with their Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum, who said; "Canadians aren’t as concerned about the precise number of refugees and when they get here as they are that proper security checks are done on them... "
Questions remain whether or not the St. Catharines 'Standard' Newspaper's leading reporter Grant LeFleche will be allowed to carry on with his vendetta against Regional Councilor Petrowsti or will he be allowed to turn his big guns on others such as the Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum.
Will the losing regional candidate Jeff Burch refer to Liberal Immigration Minister John McCallum as "Hateful and Bigoted?
Obviously, Petrowski is not alone in his concern over the risk of inadequate vetting? According to the 'Ipsos poll' '60% of Canadians disagree with the Liberal plan to accept Refugees by 2015'

Absolutely no one has indicated that they want Muslims to be permanently banned from immigration! Considering the gravity of the situation and the possible risks involved, perhaps a little patience is in order.
However,
after witnessing a radical Muslim mother go on a killing spree there are
millions of Citizens who have become concerned over the screening process.
In the
likely event that nothing goes wrong, and we all pray it won’t, everyone will give a big sigh of relief.
But what if something bad happens? Will we
look a little foolish for our rush to judgment? Will those piling on Petrowski
apologize? Will they do the honorable thing and resign?
After all,
the piling on of Petrowski isn’t new! It started before he even threw his
hat into the ring of politics! Once the ‘Old Guard’ determined that Petrowski
was a threat to their pork barrel inclinations they began their scheming to get
rid of him. This new round of squalid attacks on Petrowski is obviously just a
continuation.

The Petrowski affair is like a bunch of little boys playing in a sand
box, and having nothing better to do than ganging up on one of their
playmates. This is my take on it. Starting with MP Chris Bittle, you can
clearly see that partisan politics is alive and well in our region.
Reg. Coun. Andy Petrowski’s detractors are envious of him. Why? Because he’s a doer, and gets more ink than all the other councillors combined.
If we didn’t have councillors Petrowski and Bob Gale on the police services board, it would leave the police commission unfettered, which could lead to the bankruptcy of the region.
It’s a divergency tactic creating a “holier than thou” attitude. If this were a football game, the detractors would be penalized, for an infraction of a rule called “piling-on.” Shame? I know where it really lies.

PETROWSKI REPRESENTS MANY PEOPLE
Although MP Chris Bittle is politically correct, he dodges the issue that many of us have about the Muslim religion.
I don’t hate anyone and as long as anyone entering this country embraces its flavour, morals and way of life, I am good with it. But I draw a line at anyone who condemns our way of life and expects us to change on the basis of religion.
Andy Petrowski is representing a lot of people. Is it politically correct? No. But how can it be?
Political correctness is not listening to the people who have lived here all of their lives. Bittle isn’t listening to the concerns of the people. He is trying to silence the fear and the concern.
Petrowski, the voice of many, is doing the job he was elected to do. He is not grandstanding at the airport like the prime minister, the premier of Ontario and the mayor of Toronto for a big photo opportunity. He is representing the people of his area and taking shots from the politically correct.
I would ask those that condemn him to educate us and explain to us how (our fears) will be dealt with. Do no demean people like Andy Petrowski. Embrace him for telling it like it is.

I
certainly agree with screening immigrants but Turkey doing screening? I
think not. I have watched the video's of the immigrants pouring water on
their kids and getting them to roll around and fake cry and then clap when
done. The film of the Germans welcoming the people. The immigrants
threw down the food they were given. They complained about the
accommodations. They rushed the streets in groups and claimed that they
would f every woman and mate her and eliminate the German race. The
groups beat severely or killed so many men and raped the women and
children. A horrible incident was killing a 7 year old girl in the park
after raping her. This incident is not uncommon. In France in the 4
separate easy killing sprees, they determined it was immigrants some let into
the country for immigration others joined them and tried to destroy them.
I personally don't want any immigrants from Syria here at all. The horror
I watched on internet was terrible and world leaders have stated there is no
way to stop them once they have been let in. What more does Canada need
to hear to not let them in???? Put it off for a year and think about it.
I mean a year not til January. If a Canadian had watched one of the
internet films where the country was welcoming them and getting beaten up for
doing it and told they will annihilate the race I think they would agree
too. Never mind the Prime Minister's flowers instead of weapons.
omg Ok let them in and kill all the men and rape and breed with the
woman and children and then kill children after raping them and old women etc..
Ruin Canada like they are doing to the other countries who welcomed them.
It is all a fake.
MP’s
VIEWS NOT REPRESENTATIVE
Regarding regional Coun. Andy Petrowski, MP Chris Bittle, does
not represent the views of a majority of St Catharines residents.
I get the feeling that someone else is pulling Bittle’s strings,
and the last thing this city needs in Ottawa is a puppet.
Up in Ottawa Bittle should be worrying about the TPP and how
it’ll impact us here in St Catharines. He should be worrying about getting good
paying jobs for us residents of St. Catharines. He should be worrying about
cancelling the F-35. He should be worrying about getting our military out of
Syria.
He should not be worrying about Andy Petrowski. When we’ve had
enough of him, we shall let him know.

LET
PETROWSKI DO HIS JOB
Much has already been stated and discussed concerning the
comments by regional Coun. Andy Petrowski. I agree that Petrowski is vocal and
expresses his opinions in a strong manner, but that is not hate towards others
or hate speech.
He is concerned about the safety and well being of Niagara
residents and Canadians. As a regional councillor elected through the
democratic process, it is incumbent upon him to speak for those whom he
represents.
St. Catharines MP Chris Bittle should review his jurisdiction.
The remarks by Bittle about Petrowski were not only out of place, they were
hurtful and a retraction is in order.
Let Andy do his job.

The year end is the perfect time for a performance review of
this Ontario Liberal government.
Here they are: Unemployment rate above the national average, GDP
growth below the national average and income below the national average. A
doubling of the debt over the past 10 years and a net exodus of people from
Ontario.
Add to this growth killing policies through higher labour costs
and the highest electricity costs in North America.
Ontario is now a have-not province, qualified for equalization
payments or hand outs from the federal government.
To those who voted for this government in order to save their
jobs: Was it worth it?
