3 – (May 5) Should politicians be made accountable?

Is there any way politicians can be made accountable for job foul-ups?

  • Leasing office space for millions of dollars in Toronto and not using it
  • Over the top salaries of public company executives
  • Solitary confinement for 4 years in an Ontario prison
  • Ontario eHealth records system cancelled after $1 billion spent
  • Liberal govt made payments to teacher unions to cover their bargaining expenses
  • Corporate and large political donations to political parties are not regulated enough
  • Ornge Air ambulance: exaggerated salaries and exorbitant operations costs
  • cancellation of two proposed gas plants at cost of $1.1 billion
  • Windsor Parkway to cost $1.4 billion; construction reveals use of questionable material
  • Pan Am games executive salary bonuses: $7 million

Ontario has an Ombudsman, Paul Dubé but his effectiveness in preventing government scandals is arguable.

Should MPs be made accountable for costly mistakes? What do you think?
