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?
