PROVINCIAL LIBERAL GOVERNMENT ARE GETTING IN DEEPER AND DEEPER

Maybe we are overdue for the Orange Wave here in Ontario. That being said it is a couple of Tory backbenchers who have turned up the heat on the McGuinty Liberal government and good for them for so doing. Last Saturday's Waterloo Region Record carried Luisa D'Amato's Opinion piece titled "Cambridge MPP "doing his job" by demanding documents". This article relates back to the Liberal campaign team's decision to scuttle the already underway gas plant in Mississauga just prior to the provincial election. That decision will cost Ontario taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to the company with the signed contracts. The opposition parties rightly referred to the decision as part of the "Liberal seat saver program". Apparently Rob leone of Cambridge and Michael Harris of Kitchener are making damn nuisances of themselves by actually taking the job of opposition members seriously. They are appropriately demanding the release of documents from the Liberals which would assist both the opposition and the public to better understand and judge that pre election decision as well as the prior one in 2010 in Oakville. Quoting Rob Leone "What citizens want is accountability and transparency in government," , "They want information. It's about getting to the bottom of the issue.". Mr. Leone is correct and I only hope that when he, Mr. Harris and the rest of the Conservatives are back in power that they follow their own current advice. My opinion is that the Liberals are overdue for a visit to the Opposition side of the Legislature but will it be the NDP or the Tories in power? Was our local by-election an anomoly or the bellweather of things to come?
