Talk:Carolyn Parrish

message: Removed non-NPOV text:
:A rabid Anti-American, with a propensity to place both feet in her mouth. Left leaning on social issues, fiscally center-right. Is actually a Libertarian, but seeks power through the path of least resistance. Not beyond bullying as a tactic and will garner support by prostrating herself at many altars. Principled in Voice, corrupt in practice.

replies: text: It's also an obvious absurdity. This is her least-resistance path to power? If she were powermad she'd be french-kissing Bush's and Martinet's @sses, not kicking them. Kwantus 21:48, 2004 Nov 18 (UTC)
*  Thank the heavens that she is kicked out.  But something worthy of note is that her riding consists of a LARGE muslim population. Captain433180 03:32, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: Aside from being an (overly) outspoken member of Parliament, Carolyn Parrish has demonstrated the power of Independent members of the House of Commons, and should be thanked for that. Therefore, the page should not be fully devoted to her use of the freedoms afforded to her under section 2(b) of the Canadian constitution. Andrew pmk 21:55, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, I wrote most of the article as it appears now and I am a big fan of Ms. Parrish and her actions.  As for her having "demonstrated the power of Independent members", a scan of the Hansard index shows that she has only spoken once since becoming an independent, and it was to ask for some statistical information on immigration to be tabled.  Moreover, despite whether or not you agree with what she has done (as I do), it is still the most noteworthy thing that she has done and is the obvious focus of such an article.  However, as CJCurrie said, if you think the scope of the article is too limited, add to it OR put up a stub notice not a NPOV notice! - Jord 08:55, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Resolved. NPOV message removed. Andrew pmk 01:50, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  Also it's really easy to claim one thing but work towars another. I could for example say "I love bush" and then spin information to look like he molested, wich he did, his childhood cat with a brush.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.141.89.53 (talk) 15:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This does not represent her at all 

message: I find this sentence confusing: "Initially still nominally a Liberal in the House of Commons, she became an independent on November 21 so that the speaker would give her time in member's statments and question period without the notice of the Liberal whip."  How could she still be considered a Liberal in the Commons after she was expelled from the Liberal caucus?  Aren't the party designations merely a recognition of caucus membership?  HistoryBA 18:24, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: This is my point exactly.  Once he was expelled from the Liberal caucus, he had to call himself an "Independent Liberal."  He was no longer designated as a "Liberal" because he wasn't a member of the Liberal caucus.  Have the rules changed since then?  Didn't Parrish cease to be designated as a Liberal in the Commons as soon as the Liberal caucus informed the Speaker that she was no longer a member?  HistoryBA 00:55, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Parrish also was an Independent Liberal for several days and that is what the article alludes to.  Despite the similarity in names, an Independent Liberal and an Independent are considerably different things.  Properly an Independent Liberal would be known as a Liberal excluded from caucus and there is a big difference.  Someone who still identifies with a party, despite being excluded from its caucus, is not considered an independent from the chair and thus does not get recognized for statements or questions unless s/he is put on the list by the party whip.  You may note on Parrish's parliament page that though she is only listed as a member of the Liberal Caucus until Nov 17, she was a Liberal until Nov 21. - Jord 17:03, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: So why don't we make the article say that? HistoryBA 20:02, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It is what it said.  There is no such thing as an Independent Liberal it is a shorthand used on the parl.gc.ca site, she was still a Liberal, just excluded from caucus... that is to say a Liberal by name -or- nominally a Liberal... I am going to revert your edit.  - Jord 23:31, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is confusing, as witnessed by the comments here by myself and others.  Rather than revert my edit, why not try to bring clarity to the article?  It does not say what you say above (your 11 December 2004 comment); as you admit, it only "aludes" to this state of affairs.  I also wonder about your use of the word "nominally."  Wasn't she technically a Liberal but "nominally" an Independent Liberal?  HistoryBA 15:41, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: As explained in my note below she never sat as an Independent Liberal, that term was used on the parl.gc.ca site as a shorthand for Liberal excluded from caucus, she never designated herself as an Independent Liberal and it is up to a member to register his/her affiliation with the clerk of the house.  Per your above request, I have changed the wording.  Please advise if it is now sufficiently clear.  I apologize if you took offense to my reverting your edit, however your change contained inaccurate information.  Unlike some who have used similar terminology, such as Inky Mark who actually designated himself a Independent Conservative, eventually joining the PC caucus only after they passed a democratic reform plank for their platform.  Parrish, as seen here stayed as a Liberal after he exclusion from caucus. - Jord 18:02, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

text: The source you are looking for is here, and you are largely right.  A member has the right to sit with whatever party label s/he chooses.  However, in the case of Parrish, she was still sitting as a Liberal from Nov 18 to Nov 21.  The parl.gc.ca site simply labels her as Independent Liberal to indicate that she was not in the Liberal caucus, not because she identified herself as an Independent Liberal and then decided to label herself as Independent.  As you can see here and here she spent those three days as a Liberal excluded from caucus. - Jord 02:35, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep - that's canonical. Samaritan 04:26, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Caucus Membership and Party Designation in the Commons 

message: Though the redrawing of boundaries in Canada is known as "redistribution", the technical political science terminology across borders for such a thing is "redistricting", hence why I used it instead of redistrubting.  I am going to edit the redistricting article to mention the other terms used and then re-link this article to it if there is no objection? -- Jord 17:09, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: For some reason she is described as having a successor. She doesn't. She was not succeeded by Steve Mahoney, although some might wish that she was. I have edited that error.
: If you read carefuly, you will see that the last box says she is succeeded by "incumbent". -- Earl Andrew - talk 08:07, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Appears to be reliable but most of the sources are PPV. I'll see if I can get Factiva access so I can research the rest. The most contentious bit about her removal from Caucus is now sourced. Orderinchaos 09:44, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Long after I graduated from school the now deceased mayor MacCallion, had always said that her Mississauga was to stay Mississauga and Toronto was to be Toronto. 
Early 2000’s when she said that out loud again there was an uproar about barely enough affordable housing for single people or people who live with visible and non visible disabilities and their being compared to those with addictions.
Carolyn Parrish was the first to say that there was a need for affordable housing but mayor Crombie has done too much to downplay and sweep what she didn’t want to see, or wasn’t willing to accept for her own adjectives and agendas for too many people who live in the Region of Peel, and the people’s city of Mississauga that is being built overwhelmingly by people who are addicted to power and other addictions! Before Mayor MacCallion became frail the city of Mississauga did Not have “stop, kiss and wait” bus shelters that had nothing around them except highway unless you’re on a bus. Point it’s a wasteful $750,000+ per “S,K,&W” shelter”! Those were not there before 2018!
Closet one that I had to encounter to 🤬 was around Erin Mills! I wished that I had a cellphone because I could’ve been able to known the person who I thought I had an appointment with I was too late because of that wasted money to build those to what, hear how the bus driver is in more of a schedule push and more people who were like me were trying to get somewhere before they closed! Kipling station was and is a waste of money as well! Kipling station shows how much Mississauga transit riders are responding! Thanks to Crombie’s bussom buddies the Ford family every time a person who needs to ride the Mississauga transit, they have to walk or if they are mobile travel throughout the Kipling station for 15-20 minutes just to get to the original stairs from decades ago that they never repaired in any way! That was the chief concern of Kipling the stairs, no elevator, the area entering the station, no one was there at the information center.
Yet did they know that in the building that I rented from until September 1, 2018 I was forced out of my apartment because of their religious about people who lived independently with disabilities! From this day November 1, 2011 to right now November 1, 2023 I’ve been harassed, bullied, cyber bullied, and assaulted having the bullies and their children home invasion my apartment and my life!
They have read my letters from my parents, friends, family members, friends, pen friends, relatives… As I am being right now bullied because I haven’t received my service provider bill in a year and I’ve been told by the to “call customer service we don’t deal with it in store.”
I’ve been threatened because I’m Epileptic. I was locked out of my apartment and my fur baby was inside the entire time, I was in hospital for non emergency Epileptic reasons August 1, 2018. I have been walking around Toronto to get justice for my fur baby and myself! My Cat was torn away from my arms and given to Mississauga Animal control. I was told there that he was he was on “joint custody” 
I was never told by who, until 2023 a homeless person who parent worked they both live in Toronto where I have been forced to live and too many times my photo identification cards were stolen including to June 18, 2022 when I was unconscious from an Epileptic seizure on the ground! When I awoke the my pouch was taken off my person and the pouch was left open and my wallet was gone. I thought that I spoke with a Toronto police officer while in hospital but I can’t be sure. 
I have even collapsed on the sidewalk so damn close to cop standing where they are left blood on their footwear, too many times since I was forced to Toronto against my Human Rights in 2018.
They sent their own to break into my apartment and they are still doing it today! I’m trying to keep healthy My way! Yet a person that needs their own medication, I get woken up by strangers to tell me to take my medication and when Every Damn day and night! 
There was an Epilepsy Mississauga in the 1990’s, I know. I used to work or volunteer in the office whenever it was still on Dundas st. Mississauga 207.35.139.230 (talk) 09:00, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
