I know now where Peter MaKay can get the $800,000 he needs to enter the federal Conservative leadership race.
'Adviser to Eves left with $917,000
Buyout detailed in secret document
Liberal source says Eves' staff cut deal'

'New Democrat MPP Michael Prue (Beaches-East York) said the sweetheart deal "shows that the rot was very deep within the Conservatives to have done that when they were leaving ..."'
Reading this article makes me realize all these labels we throw aroiund, with sweeping generalizations, aren't necessarily very useful. There are good people everywhere, whether they are Conservative, Liberal, NDP, right, left, or upsidedown. And some not so good.
All I know is that these government boondoggles, combined with tax loopholes, or tax avoidance schemes, and unfair taxation rates, have got to stop, so that our governments can do what they are supposed to do, for our Canadian citizens.
This is absolute nonsense, and hopefully the current Ontario government goes after him, and makes him return every cent, including interest, and costs involved to get the money back. This is a perfect example of why I beleve all governments, at all levels, should have their finances totally out in the open for everyone to see, unless it involves special circumstances like national security, defence, and privacy, such as healthcare information, etc.
