The Ombudsman has confirmed that Dalton McGuinty’s second term rot has set in deep at the LHINs. In a time of scarce health care dollars we cannot afford this kind of waste anymore. That is why, if I am elected Premier, I will eliminate Dalton McGuinty’s bloated LHIN bureaucracies – and reinvest this money into public frontline patient care”.

Ignatieff uses a lot of old liberal retreads in his reasoning. In short, he wants to make the government bigger and more intrusive in the lives of Canadians.
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff was a bit squeamish at the Comber Agricultural Fair on Sunday, avoiding a question about a recently resigned Liberal candidate, who is currently facing criminal charges. Steve Pickard, the disgraced Liberal nominee is the latest in a string of candidates who have said some controversial comments. Earlier this month a candidate for the Liberal party in Calgary said that the police are racist in some of their professional practices.
How many candidates have to step out of line or be hauled in front of a police lineup before this becomes an issue. If a leader cannot control his own candidates, how can they be trusted to steer their ship of government. Surrounding yourself with quality people is the first and fore-most important act of any political leader. Until Ignatieff can display the ability to exterminate all the cockroaches from his party. How can Canadians trust Ignatieff with the important challenges and choices that you have to make in government.
