Windsor and Essex County have wordy MPPs

All three Windsor-EssexMPPs are verbose.

At least that's what a report from a private research service shows.

For the second year, Ontario Monitor has ranked Ontario MPP'susing three criteria: totalnumber of words spoken, average number of words per speech and, total number of speeches given. All data was taken using computer technology from the 2017 official records and speeches from the Ontario Legislature.

Windsor-Tecumseh MPPPercy Hatfield ranked eighthin total number of words with88,307 words spoken.

Essex MPPTaras Natyshak was 14th with 69,242 words.

In terms of the average number of words per speech, Windsor West MPPLisa Gretzky was third with 422.7.

"It doesn't mean they said things that are more meaningful or important, but just that they've done it more times," said SeanGoltzfromOntario Monitor.

But it does shows who was "the most active MPP when it comes to speeches ... who was the most involved when it comes to expressing himself."
