Politics is a give and take phenomenon....they take from everyone and while they feed the crumbs to everyone they save the gravy for those who can get them elected. The outrage of the electorate can be gauged by how close you are to the trough. Let's not forget that the left wing (liberals) are more adept at getting closer to the trough.
Integrity, honesty lacking
After reading the reports of the latest scandal involving a government scheme to dole out our hard earned tax dollars with very little if any accountability ("Colle-gate brush off" July 26), I am beginning to wonder if there is anyone left in government who is honest. This outrage has an odour very similar to the federal AdScam. Premier McGuinty, after waiting until summer when I am sure he thought the political damage would be least, apologized to the people of Ontario. I find the behaviour of our governments disgusting. Members of government do not seem to understand it is not their money that is being recklessly wasted. This government needs to be sent packing in October and we as the citizens need to be more careful in who we elect. We need to promote candidates who are "ordinary" people rather than professionals, who in many cases have lost touch with the real world. Hopefully the road to a degree of recovery will begin after the next election.
