Where Have The NDP Been The Last Four Years

Did they not hear that McGinty's party had been renamed the Fiberals based on failure to keep promises, NO NEW TAXES, etc. The appointment is inconsequential.....that they did it is the thing to remember.

The Liberals have appointed one of their own MPPs as a justice of the peace – a breach of their promise not to make patronage appointments, critics charge.

"This is exactly what (Premier Dalton) McGuinty promised he wouldn't do," New Democrat MPP Peter Kormos said yesterday.

MPP Ernie Parsons, who has represented Prince Edward-Hastings riding since 1999, will start his appointment July 11. He plans to resign as MPP the day before.

"I followed the open process, there were no shortcuts provided for a politician in that process," Parsons said in defending his cabinet-approved appointment.

Parsons, an engineer, said he has always been interested in law.
