Premier Kathleen Wynne's press secretary says in a statement that the Ontario Liberal Party executive council voted Monday to cover the payment so no tax dollars go toward work currently under police investigation.I have a question, Premier. When you say "no tax dollars go toward work currently under police investigation"... does that include the hundreds of millions of dollars the Liberal party said they were shelling out as compensation for the gas plants THAT DIDN'T GET BUILT?"
I'm guessing, if so, you would have led with that. Sigh.
So, in actuality, this $10,000 is just one loogie in an ocean of larcenous Liberal spit.
Forgive my impertinence, but, as Premier of Ontario... you do get that ALL police work is funded with taxpayer dollars. Also, that any and all monies funneled to Liberal operatives (or their family members) for work that triggers subsequent criminal investigation is a horse of an entirely different colour?
So, just to be clear, what you're coughing up here, is under-the-table funds paid to the spouse of Dalton McGuinty's deputy chief of staff for a little nudge-nudge wink-wink say-no-more services, specifically deletion of emails and like documentation in an alleged criminal conspiracy. I mean, if it were simply required maintenance, that could simply have been performed by the extremely well-paid Queens Park IT department, right?
So, cards on the table, these same monies, despite your press secretary's vague and misleading statement, have not a smidge to do with monies compensating the police... past, present or future.
And now that the net is closing... you'll pay them back. Bravo Madam Premier.
