I would bet that they are simply close friends and supporters of our super nanny McGuinty, being rewarded for their years of servitude to said emperor and party.

I think you nailed it right there. I swear it's so typical of the Ontario government to give positions not based on skill or merit but to those who blindly follow McGuinty and see him as some sort of visionary. I wouldn't be surprised if these types had paintings of him on the walls of their homes.

Not to hijack the thread, but the bottom line is that the Liberals have completely FUBAR'ed all systems within the province. Hopefully a PC government can sort out the complete cluster$%^ the province has become. Just my  :2c: .

This goes beyond provincial party politics.

"This week on White Coat Black Art, we show you the impact of off-load delay on emergency responsiveness in Halifax."

"Three years ago, Emergency Health Services Nova Scotia had a contractural guarantee to off-load their patients within 20 minutes of arrival in emerg. Now, it's not uncommon for medics there to complete an entire 12 hour shift alongside a patient in a hallway in the emergency department."

"I just listened to this and if I closed my eyes it could be Calgary."

Same problem in British Columbia, California and elsewhere.
