Last week the ten OLIP interns went on a road trip. On Sunday we drove from Toronto to Quebec City—that was a long day, despite the fact I didn’t have to do any of the driving. Quebec City was beautiful, our hosts were welcoming and our meetings were informative. Quebec has long been a leader [...]

The pace of a political office can be startling

The pace of a political office can be startling. I can hardly remember the projects I was working on a few weeks ago, when I last blogged. Rosario held a press conference on November 9th to introduce his private member’s bill seeking to expand the mandate of the Ombudsman. At first it seemed like the [...]
The last couple weeks have been very busy in Rosario’s office

The last couple weeks have been very busy in Rosario’s office. I’ve been all over the place, working on research and notes for Estimates Committee, writing a couple questions for question period, responding to correspondence on a range of policy issues, and a lot more. The major focus, however, has been on organizing a press [...]
Working in Rosario Marchese’s office

It has been a busy first two weeks. The first week was largely taken up with preparation for Estimates Committee. The most important thing that I learned was the value of not trying to do everything yourself. Daunted by the complexity of the issues and my own lack of background, I realized that there’s nothing [...]

Well, the eagerly anticipated results are in, and I’ll be working for Rosario Marchese, MPP for Trinity-Spadina, for the next four months. I’m very excited about my placement, and can’t wait for it to start. I know Mr. Marchese’s riding well, as I grew up just three blocks north of its border (in St. Paul). [...]

The Chamber and the Attic

On Wednesday we were able to attend question period for the first time. It was pretty much all it was billed up to be: partisan, loud and entertaining. There are definitely some world-class hecklers in the Ontario legislature. In the afternoon we were given a fantastic tour of Queen’s Park by Arleigh Holder, the Director [...]
Sasha Tregebov on the first week

It’s been a fabulous and whirlwind first couple days here at the Legislative Assembly. The other interns and I have met some great people around the legislature and started to get a sense of the breadth of what goes on here. From parliamentary procedure, to policy, to party politics, there’s so much to learn. But [...]
