Indiscretion in Ontario politics seems only to relate to matters that
involve Toronto's duly elected Mayor Ford and do not apply when it pertains
to Kathleen Wynne the recently anointed premier and the new leader of the
Liberal party of Ontario for its ongoing green energy programs?
Mayor Ford according to
Toronto's politically active city’s integrity commissioner, Janet Leiper, made
headlines for her individual believe that it is an improper use of influence,
by the then councillor Ford, to seek donations, gifts, benefits or favours as a
public office holder.
As Ford had made the decision as to whom he would ask for
donations, and these donations benefited both the schools who received grants
and the councillors foundation for youth football! Not the mayor
or councillor personally!
But wait a minute here. Now the liberal party's policy and its
supporters for green energy programs, that could cost Ontario taxpayers up to
$200 MILLION, are being asked to donate $5,000 per executive from within the corporate power industry to support the Ontario Liberal party's energy platform policies and its' new leader Kathleen Wynne the recently anointed premier?
These individual donations of $5,000 per plate shall directly benefit and the elected official Kathleen Wynne and the liberal party? get the picture!
I guess because it is the lobbyists and high-roller
executive’s from within the energy sector, whom conceivably might just benefit
from such liberal party policies, which seek the individual $5,000 dollar donations
for Kathleen Wynne as premier and leader of the party policies, it’s OK?
In this case, of course, there are no questions of any
violations by the provinces integrity commissioner such as those held by the City
of Toronto’s liberal appointed integrity commissioner concerning “improper use
of influence” or “it is improper for
lobbyists to offer or provide gifts, benefits or favours, it is equally as
improper for public office holders to ask for or suggest ways for lobbyists to
provide gifts, benefits or favours.”?
Political party hypocrisy at its best by the liberal
party of Ontario in my humble opinion as a mere mortal!
