Year End with Lt. Gov. David Onley
I like paying a visit to lieutenant Governor David Onley at this this time of year – partly because the Vice Regal suite is so beautifully decorated at Christmas, and partly because the L.G and I go back a long way as friends and media colleagues.
David became one of my radio show producers back in the early 80’s after I had interviewed him about his space shuttle novel. We both have fond memories of spending day after day in a small cubicle of an office dreaming up story ideas and interview subjects for an evening interview show I was hosting on CFRB called ” An Hour with John Stall”.
Onley is entering the final year of his Five year term as Lieutenant Governor of Ontario and although the L.G’s role is largely ceremonial by nature, it is called upon to make constitutional rulings should it be necessary when minority governments’ lose the confidence of the legislature.
Now that the Mcguinty Government is in a minority situation, I chatted with the L.G about the various scenario’s during our year end meeting. You can hear it hear if you are interested. John Stall with Lieutenant Governor David Onley
