As someone who quite often visits the Legislative Library, the friendliest one in Canada, and as someone who has been visiting it for 61 years, I am absolutely astounded with the disproportionate security arrangements that were placed in effect in the Legislature this week.
Until about three years ago, one could enter the Legislature and walk down hall to the Library. At that time, a new security system was put in place. Just inside the front door of the Legislature, there was a desk for a commissionaire and you signed in, giving your name, where you were from, and your telephone number. This was intrusive but basically acceptable and seemed to work quite well from a security perspective.
But now a system approved by the secretive Legislative Administrative Committee (LAC) last year has been put into effect that would do justice to an international airport. To call this a disproportionate approach is an understatement.
Now, visitors (public servants have a pass system) have to empty their pockets and put the contents in a tray and go through a metal detector. A commissionaire then types your name and phone number, and gives you an entry pass with a computer generated bar code.
All of this is so over the top one does not know how to react. On the positive side, there will be a system in place to deal with school children who visit the Legislature. I almost feel violated by the new security system now in place. We're dealing with a Legislature, not a terrorist zone.

Yes, how times have changes and Wendell Fulton never had a clue.
I noticed this long time Liberal researcher at the Legislature Library a few weeks ago.
This individual always has his head in books. He does a lot of research.
I might add that he has been on my email list for a couple of years and he enjoys my blog.
He asked me where did I get all the pictures of Bernard Lord?
I bought Wendell to the computer at the Legislative Library and told the educated individual in the old days?
If a person wanted a picture of a public figure? We would go over the books in the library but in today’s world? That’s almost non-existant.
We went to google image.
I wrote Bernard Lord and my blog site showed up on the first page.
As a matter of fact there’s a picture of me and Bernard shaking hands.
I wrote the irvings?
The same action.
I told Wendell that many of my visitors are from people who are searching certain names or issues.
It’ll be there forever and ever!
He didn’t have a clue that it was so easy? Maybe from now on I made his job a little easier.

I quickly went at the library and read his work.
Not bad at all!!!! It's sort of a blog. He brings up issues and voice an opinion on it.
This guy is very intelligent when it comes to politics.
