Chance of catalyst Politically, things look good on both the left and right-wing sides. I just want to comment on a chain of events that will be unfolding in the next election (June 2, 2022, for Ontario). Timmins (provincial electoral district) MPP seat is currently held by Gillespie Bisson, an NDP. The mayor of Timmins, George Pirie, is going to be running with the conservative party. George Pirie really interests me. This guy’s bio is huge.
-
A mining executive with over 35 years of experience; 17 years at the senior level
-
Served as CEO of multiple mining companies
-
Served on the mining association of Canada
-
Served on the Ontario mining association
Do you think the mining industry would benefit from having the mayor of Timmins move up to MPP?
Personally, I don’t even think we have any current hiccups with Gillespie Bisson however, it would be interesting to see what Pirie could do in that role. Could this be a catalyst for a potential price increase for CNC?
Also while researching this today, I read Gillespie Bisson had a heart attack yesterday. I truly wish him a timely recovery and mean no disrespect by this post. It is just something to think about?
