You'd be hard pressed to find people who still care about this story, but there it is.

One of former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty's top political staff was found guilty Friday of criminal charges for wiping government computers following the cancellation of two gas-fired power plants.

I care about the story because I live about 800 meters from where the Oakville plant would have been built. They blame it on "Nimbyism" but the real culprits are incompetent civil servants who did zero, zip, nada due diligence. It was like some centrally planned Stalin era project.

You're goddam right someone is guilty.

How much corruption can you ignore? Ontario paid out a billion dollars for sweet nothing and they blamed it on residential rate payers. The Liberals should be swinging from lamp posts.

You mean when they vote for Liberal-Lite?

The Ontario Liberals have reached their sell-by date and are about to be fired. That is the essence of Canadian democracy. We throw the bums out about regular intervals. It should have happened during the last cycle but a hapless Tory leader lost a sure-thing election by blurting out a Trump-worthy silly.
