Criminal charges laid in Ontario Liberal gas-plant cover-up scandal

Finally criminal charges have been laid in the Ontario Liberals' gas plant scandal.
Unfortunately, it wasn't any of Ontario's Liberal politicians who were charged - maybe that is next?
Who gave these people the permission and the direction to enter Ontario government offices and purposefully delete the computer files??! Are we to believe that they just walked in off the street, and did all this on their own - and no Ontario Liberal politician knew about it?!??
They were even paid to do it - the Ontario Liberals had taxpayers paying for the (alleged) crime!!
The purposeful deletion / coverup of the scandalous gas plant emails was a political act perpetrated to help Ontario's Liberals win a fraudulent election - all based on GreenFear propaganda.
This is MPP Jim Bradley's kind of Liberalism. Vote fer Good Ole Jimmy. Yay!
-
Let's fast-forward to Karen Howlett's  Oct 28, 2017 Globe and Mail report on the the Livingston/ Miller criminal trial, to see how Jim Bradley's Liberals operated, and what kind of government they ran:

"...Court has heard that David Nicholl, Ontario's corporate chief information officer, played a crucial role in helping Mr. Livingston gain the special access used to wipe hard drives. Mr. Nicholl asked government IT managers to set up special administrative access to all of the computers in the premier's office, the trial was told. On Jan. 31, 2013, Peter Wallace, secretary of cabinet at the time, approved the access after Mr. Nicholl told him that six staffers in the premier's office already had administrative access. Mr. Nicholl did not explain, however, that the access requested for Mr. Livingston was, in fact, much more extensive, court has heard.

Mr. Livingston's executive assistant, Wendy Wai, was provided with the administrative rights, allowing her to use a special password and sign on to any computer in the premier's office. But the access was used instead by Mr. Faist.

In an e-mail to Mr. Faist on Feb. 4, 2013, presented as an exhibit in court, Ms. Wai says, "CAB IT just called, everything is set up and ready to go," referring to Cabinet Office IT. "I just need to log in as myself at each desktop and you should be able to do your part."

Mr. Faist testified that Ms. Miller's assistant, Alexandra Gair, assisted him with wiping the hard drives. She accompanied him when he was in the premier's office and had the names of staffers whose computers were to be wiped written on a yellow sticky note, he said.

Mr. Faist has told police he was instructed by Ms. Miller to "wipe off personal data" on 20 computers in the premier's office. Between Feb. 5 and Feb. 7, 2013 – just days before Ms. Wynne took office – Mr. Faist erased 632,000 files, accounting for 13 per cent of all the data on the 20 hard drives, police documents allege.

Mr. Faist testified that he submitted an invoice dated Jan. 28, 2013, in the amount of $11,017.50 to the Liberal Caucus Service Bureau.."-

Wow: Hillary Clinton's team should be so proud of  the political template set by McGuinty's trail-blazing computer-wiping Liberals!!

...and look at Howlett's Oct.19, 2017 report :

" Former Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty's chief of staff got instructions on how to double delete e-mails in the summer of 2012, a period when the government was under mounting pressure to release documents related to the controversial cancellation of two gas-fired power plants, court documents show.

"I don't really have a strong desire to be email monitor for the Premier's Office," David Livingston, the chief of staff, says in an e-mail tabled as part of an exhibit at a criminal trial. But he says he has "learned a couple of things" after talking to David Nicholl, Ontario's corporate chief information officer: "if e-mails are 'double deleted' (meaning deleted from an INBOX and DELETE file) then they are gone and cannot be retrieved;" and if an e-mail that is to be double deleted has been forwarded, it will also have to be deleted from the "sent" file.

"Having said all of this, nothing is more confidential than talking rather than writing!" Mr. Livingston says in the e-mail dated Aug. 9, 2012, which was distributed to several staff members in the premier's office, according to the exhibit. "Just reading this, so no more triple delete?" one staffer asks. "Apparently not!" came the reply from another staffer.

Mr. Livingston and former deputy chief of staff Laura Miller are facing criminal breach of trust and mischief charges in connection with the destruction of e-mails and other government records related to the cancellation of the two power plants before the 2011 provincial election. Each has pleaded not guilty.

The charges stem from police accusations that Mr. Livingston hired a non-government IT expert, Ms. Miller's spouse, Peter Faist, to "wipe clean" computer hard drives in the Premier's Office just days before Mr. McGuinty stepped down in February, 2013.

The trial at Toronto's Old City Hall has heard from two witnesses about meetings they had with Mr. Livingston in August, 2012, when a legislative committee was demanding the release of gas-plant documents from the minority Liberal government. Peter Wallace, secretary of cabinet at the time, testified on Monday about a "tense conversation" he had with Mr. Livingston during a meeting that month, in which he told him he was "acutely worried" that the premier's office had not complied with a legally binding order to hand over documents in connection with the power plants.

Mr. Nicholl also testified last week that he met with Mr. Livingston in August of 2012, when the chief of staff asked about the process for deleting e-mails and expressed concern about e-mail accounts that were still open after some employees had left the premier's office.

Mr. Nicholl played a key role in helping Mr. Livingston get special access to computer hard drives in the premier's office during the transition from the McGuinty government to Premier Kathleen Wynne in early 2013, the trial was told.

While Mr. Wallace, now city manager of Toronto, approved the special access for Mr. Livingston, he testified that he did so after Mr. Nicholl told him seven people in the premier's office already had special access. Mr. Wallace said he was not aware at the time that the access given to Mr. Livingston was much more extensive, and said it is inconceivable that he would have approved it had he known that the chief of staff would use it to access government records held by other staff members.

On Jan. 31, 2013, the day Mr. Livingston got the special access, he sounded pleased, the e-mail exhibits show. "We have broken through," he said in response to an e-mail from Ms. Miller, asking "Any luck w the admin code?" Mr. Livingston adds in his e-mail that he will be talking to Mr. Nicholl that afternoon about how to "actually get the codes and move forward."

An e-mail from Ms. Miller to Mr. Livingston titled Pete's Project and dated Jan. 24, says the process of wiping computers takes "3-4 hrs per desk."

The trial continues on Friday."

Note how all of this computer-wiping-urgency was swirling around PRIOR  to McGuinty's sudden resignation: yet we are led to believe that this was in no way a planned cover-up to protect McGuinty ...who has not been charged with anything!! Why hasn't he?? Well, for one thing, luckily heh heh there aren't any emails to corroborate anything!! Voila - the circle in complete! Nothin' to see here folks!! In this criminal trial, we have even forgotten that the whole thing stemmed from McGuinty's  GreenFear climate-change/ global-warming hoaxter policies, of which Ole Jim Bradley was a chief proponent.

Liberals Kathleen Wynne and MPP Jim Bradley deny cancer drugs to Ontario mother

As Global News (Oct.28, 2013) reported, Kathleen Wynne's Ontario Liberals are denying cancer-treating drug therapy to a Milton, Ontario, mother.

Yes, you read this correctly: this is the single-payer-pushing, monopoly-enforcing Ontario Liberal government of Kathleen Wynne which is denying the cancer-treatment drug Avastin to an Ontario patient.

This is also St.Catharines Liberal hack MPP Jim Bradley who is denying cancer treatment to Ontario citizens. (This is the same Liberal hack Jim Bradley who would like you to believe that... ummm... that it's Mike Harris doing this..!)

But you will NOT hear a peep of concern about this from the Jim Bradley Fan Club (aka St.Catharines Standard). After all, what's any of this gotta do wid Ole Jimmy, anyways - right??!!  Far be it for Grant Lafleche, Doug Herod, or Don Fraser to bother asking Ole Jim Bradley about why his Liberals are denying cancer treatment to Kimm Fletcher.

Feh: this ain't got nothin' ta do wid our boy Jim Bradley! Liberal Jimmy means well! Why should we bother Ole Jimmy?!

And after all - doncha know? - the 'Planet Is In Peril', according to the St.Catharines Standard and Jim Bradley!

After all - doncha know?! - Liberal MPP Jim Bradley is gallantly Battling Evil Conservatives and Oil Barons!! Jim Bradley is Fighting Climate Change to Save The Earth from DOOOOOOOMM!!!

That is what is important here: to divert readers' attention from Ole GreenFear Jimmy's role in denying cancer treatment to Ontario patients, and thereby exposing - once again - MPP Jim Bradley's Liberal healthcare duplicity!! Why, it's just best that the local Niagara press not write about it!! Why bring attention about Ontario's cruel Liberal Environment Minister Jim Bradley being more interested in the Planet than the patient - right?!

Ontario's Liberals do not want Ontarians to ask about, or to remember, why Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin had to investigate the "cruel" McGuinty government's pathetic behaviour in the Suzanne Aucoin case: see Liberal Healthcare Duplicity - pages 8, 9, 45, 56, 62 ,69, 70, 71, 72 ,73 ,74, 75.

Niagara's Liberal-ass-kissing press won't be asking Ole Liberal Jim Bradley about the parallels between Kimm Fletcher's struggles with Wynne's Liberals now, and Suzanne Aucoin's struggles with McGuinty's Liberals several years ago. (After all, who was Suzanne Aucoin, anyway?! What's she got to do with any of this?! see here; here)

Of course, Kathleen Wynne knows all about Ombudsman Andre Marin's report regarding Suzanne Aucoin: Wynne was a loyal Liberal MPP from day one - from 2003 - happily and proudly supporting Smitherman's and McGuinty's dirty drug-denying-deeds.

Wynne stood proudly with her Liberal colleagues Bradley, McGuinty and Smitherman, while they refused to call a C.diff inquiry in Ontario, when hundreds of infected patients were dying!

Wynne proudly cheered as Greg Sorbara raised the McGuinty health tax, after her lying Liberals campaigned on NOT raising any taxes!

Wynne was a very proud Liberal when her Dear Leader Dalton McGuinty walked away from cancer patient Mike Brady! (What... have y'all forgotten about that proud moment of Ontario Liberal smarm?! Kathleen and Jim Bradley hope that you'd forget!)

Wynne was a proud Liberal when McGuinty abandoned the people of Caledonia; when her Ontario Liberals passed their secret G-20 law; when her Liberals were using secret-code names to vapourize a billion dollars from Ontario's treasury, in order to to buy themselves  an election.

Wynne was proud of her Liberal government's disgusting deeds. Wynne was already in McGuinty's cabinet when Ombudsman Marin released his Aucoin report, which called McGuinty's Liberal healthcare system a "cruel game". 

Now, Liberal Premier Kathleen "Cruella" Wynne is proudly playing the very same "cruel game" with patients' lives, which her hallowed predecessor Dalton McGuinty had played.

Obviously, Niagara's Liberal-besotted press can't bring any of that up, eh?!

Unless it would be to try to make Wynne or Jim Bradley look good - which is exactly what Niagara's press did manage to pull off with Bradley vis-à-vis Aucoin: portray Liberal hack Jim Bradley as some kind of hero in Aucoin's struggle, rather than examine Jim Bradley as one of the main perps causing her troubles, due to his single-payer-pushing monopolism.

Jim Bradley and his Liberal monopolists WERE the 'problem' when it came to Aucoin's dilemma; yet Bradley was carefully rehabilitated in the press and somehow portrayed as having nothing to do with any of it!! Now, it looks like Ole Katy - the McGuinty cruel clone - has nothin' to do with it either.

No St. Catharines Standard Sun Media reporter will dare ask Katy Cruella Wynne about why her Liberals are denying cancer treatment to this Ontario patient!! Lafleche and the other Standard hacks have had weeks to ask Premier Cruella or Jim GreenFear Bradley about it.

The St.Catharines Standard's Bradley Laundry Team still hasn't yet unwrapped Ole Jim from his last Cone Of Silence treatment, surrounding Jim Bradley's reaction to the Auditor's gas-plant report! There has been NO local coverage of Jim Bradley's reaction to the revealed billion-dollar-plus cost of Jim Bradley's GreenFear-instigated bungled gas-plant/seat-buying fiasco!

How many cancer patients would have benefitted had Ontario not been subjected to the horrendous costs of Bradley's and Smitherman's GreenFear fiascos?
Rest assured: No-one from the St.Catharines Standard will dare ask Ole Liberal Buddy EnviroJimmy about that!! (...of course, the Standard  hacks would be earnestly and busily asking all kinds of questions - - - had it been a Conservative government minister..!)

Yep: it's just that easy in Niagara for Liberal MPP Jim Bradley to pull his BS over and over for three decades, and get a free pass while doing so.


- Just look at Doug Herod's fine piece of Bradley worshipping-stenography in the Nov.2, 2013 St.Catharines Standard.
Egads:
- was Doug finally going to ask EnviroJimmy about how Jimmy's GreenFear bolshevism led to Ontario's Liberal billion-dollar gas-plant scandal, which caused the resignation of Dalton McGuinty?
Yowzers:
- was Doug finally going to reveal Bradley's reaction to the Auditor's gas-plant report?
Gosh:
- was Doug finally going to ask Jim Bradley about his still-secret-as-of-2013 "scientific proof" for AGW?
Yikes:
- was Doug about to ask why Jimmy and his Liberals are still denying cancer care drugs to Ontarians, the way Bradley and his Liberals had done to Suzanne Aucoin??
Sheesh:
- don't worry about Doug bothering Good Ole Jimmy with pesky questions about any o' that!!
Nope:
- all we got from Doug was a predictable puff-ball non-story (...y'know, the kind Don Fraser would do...) of dinosaur Bradley waxing on about the Good Ole prehistoric days, when politics (apparently to Jimmy) were "more jovial" and "people were buddies with one another even though they were of different political stripes, as opposed to trying to kick each other in the groin".
Funny:
- Doug Herod never reported asking Buddy Liberal MPP Jim "I hate doctors" Bradley about how many groins Bradley has kicked.
Yep:
- Doug Herod, loyal Standard stenographer, blissfully left Bradley's kumbaya BS unchallenged! Why, gosh, if Jimmy said it, it must be true; therefore, it cannot... MUST NOT... be questioned!!
Why, golly, Doug Herod was just dutifully helping zip Ole Liberal Jim Bradley into yet another comfy Cone of Silence!!!

It is as if the act of questioning Liberal Jim Bradley's failing, hypocritical health monopolism was/is kryptonite - anathema - to the personal agendas of Jimmy's Fan Club.
When it came time for examining Jim Bradley's sordid Liberal politics, Liberal-parroting stenography took precedence over journalism in Niagara's press. Often, this well-crafted, thoughtfully-spun, Lib-friendly biased stenography is still simply passed off as being 'journalism', no other viewpoints need apply. Criticism of Jim Bradley's Liberal politics is not appreciated, practically verboten.


- Just look at Grant Lafleche's masterfully phony "editorial" in the Oct.23, 2013 St.Catharines Standard, whining on about "home care funding" - yet LaFleche purposefully neglects to mention anything about the Ontario Liberal government, or of local St.Catharines monopoly-pusher Liberal Jim Bradley!
Lafleche carefully alludes to "the" or to "our" "government" and its "hollow" promises, but Gaia-darn-it, Ole Grant just can't bear to mention Jim Bradley's or Deb Matthews' Liberal roles in any of this!
Now, that's some finger-lickin'-good Warren Kinsella-zation at work in Niagara's press!  Give Ole Grant anudder award!!

Hypocrite Liberal MPP Jim Bradley is the one 'kicking' Ontario's cancer patients 'in the groin' -  but you can't trust that a St.Catharines Standard columnist would dare write about that.


- Just look at another earlier laughable Grant Lafleche "report", "NHS faces $12 million shortfall; No new funding; savings must come from within" (St.Catharines Standard, Oct.10, 2013), where Grant slants his "report" and purposefully fails to mention that it is Ontario's LIBERAL government which is underfunding the Niagara Health System!!

Ole Grant LaFleche flushed that fact down the propaganda toilet!
Gawrsh - why drag any Liberals into this - eh, Grant?! What could Liberal health-care-monopoly-pushing hack Jim Bradley have to do with any of this... eh, Grant?!

LaFleche didn't mention that it is Liberal Kathleen Wynne now underfunding the NHS, just as Liberal McGuinty had done before her, through the Liberal LHIN bureaucracy, which McGuinty and Smitherman had created. What's that gotta do wid any o' dis - right Grant?!

LaFleche didn't mention that the NHS is being underfunded (not by "Queen's Park", as Ole Grant likes to deceptively spin it) but by Kathleen Wynne's Liberals with the fawning support of Andrea Horwath and her NDP socialist enablers!!
Good Ole Grant conveniently doesn't see any connection here, between his story, and the political single-payer-pushing enablers who have allowed the underfunding to continue! Nothing to see here folks... move along now. Hey: lookit Rob Ford! Lookit!! Way over there... Lookit!!!


In fact, this is not a "new" story at all: the same underfunding crap has been going on with Ontario's Liberal healthcare monopolists and the NHS for nearly a decade now.

LaFleche - of course! - did not bother to get local Niagara Liberal hack MPP Jim Bradley to explain why his Liberals continually manage to underfund Niagara's hospital system, yet at the same time (in order to ...ummm... "save the planet") Jim Bradley's Liberals manage to blow a billion bucks on their GreenFear-propagated gas-plant fiasco.

Great Gaia - why would Ole Grant bother askin' Ole Jimmy any o' dis stuff...?!
The Standard isn't allowed to ask Liberal Jim Bradley anything about 'righting' his own Liberal wrongs!! hahaha  (...and this is nothing new for LaFleche!)

LaFleche writes: “There is still a lot of work to do on this, obviously, but we are going to have to make big and bold decisions,” interim CEO Sue Matthews said.

Matthews said the NHS has a clear process that dictates how it can trim money from the budget. The NHS first looks to increase revenue, including parking fees, cafeteria prices, rent and other services. Next, it can look at cutting back administration and support services, which also includes infection control, laundry, food services and hospital management. "

LaFleche - strangely hahahaha - doesn't bother asking anybody - certainly not any Liberal - about Sue Matthews' cost-cutting comments, and LaFleche just let the comment about cutting back on infection control, slide right by, without any examination whatsoever!!

Yep: can you imagine the smug, sanctimonious uproar from the St.Catharines Standard's Bradley Shoeshine Club, had this been said by an NHS official while a Conservative government was in power?!

We'd never the hear the end of the Bradleyites bleating about it!

Yet - under Jim Bradley's watch - talk about cutting infection control in Liberal-monopoly-enforced hospitals is simply just sloughed off, simply ignored, simply goes unchallenged by the St.Catharines Standard Bradley Butt Kisser!!!
Suddenly: no-one cares! Isn't that astounding?!
Better give Grant anudder coupla awards... cuz, gosh, he deserves them!!


- LaFleche - strangely hahahaha - didn't even bother to interview St.Catharines hack Mayor Brian McMullan about any of this, either.
After all: the Standard liked to get Mayor McFullofit to blab on about healthcare, when it was convenient to have a proxy for Jim Bradley, while Bradley was warmly wrapped in one of his many media-enabled Cones Of Silence!
Why didn't LaFleche provide any comments from Mayor McFullofit this time?!

After all, we should recall how Mayor Brian McFullofit was sanctimoniously blabbering in June of 2011 (during Niagara's Summer of Liberal C. difficile Death) about how he wanted to know why the C. difficile outbreak happened in Niagara, and how to prevent it from happening again!!

Yes: that's what the supposedly-oh-so-concerned St.Catharines hack Mayor Brian McMullan was saying in June of 2011; yet, hypocrite McMullan never bothered to actually do something about it at the time, such as demand that a public inquiry be called into the Liberal's deadly C. difficile fiasco.

Mayor Brian McMullan just needed to pretend that he 'wanted to know how it happened', but really, Mayor McFullofit didn't give a sh!t about how it happened, neither then, nor now. It was just baseless rhetoric. It was all a show.

And so now - in 2013 - when the cutting of hospital infection control in St.Catharines rears its ugly head again - St.Catharines Mayor Brian McMullan - the shameful hypocrite hack - buries his head in the sand, and now has nothing to say about it!
But, oohhhh, just two years ago, how desperately Mayor McFullofit had wanted us to believe that he cared...
that he cared so much...
and that he cared oh-so deeply...
and that he really 'wanted to know how the outbreak started'...
and that he really 'wanted to know how to prevent it'!
What utter pretension, what utter crap! What a con!

Yet now, the St.Catharines Standard cannot bring itself to ask St.Catharines Mayor Brian McMullan if he's concerned about the NHS's recent talk about cutting infection control measures vis-à-vis Liberal underfunding!
Can't dare criticize Jim Bradley's Liberal single-payer health-care despotism, y'see.

When it comes time to discussing infection control in Jim Bradley's Liberal health monopoly, you can trust that the Jim Bradley Fan Club in St.Catharines will loyally cover up for their Boy Bradley, in the same way the Standard disgustingly covered up for Jim Bradley during the NHS's Summer of C. difficile Death.
(Lafleche himself reported in one of his stories ("C.diff is back: Outbreak in Falls", St.Catharines Standard, Dec.8, 2011) about Sue Matthews at that time saying that 'maintaining enhanced infection control measures at NHS sites will cost about $1 million annually' - and this was above what the 2011 Summer of  Liberal C.diff Death hard dollar costs were. Lafleche reported that Matthews in Oct. 2011 had said that the costs of  that killer Niagara NHS outbreak were estimated at $1.5 to 2 million. Yet, by 2013, Lafleche failed to mention any of that stuff from 2011! When Sue Matthews brought up the spectre of hospital infection cuts in 2013, why didn't Lafleche refer back to his OWN 2011story, and question Matthews about that very same important topic? Lafleche ignored the issue of infection control cuts under Liberal rule, and let it just slide by...)

Ontario Liberals Dalton McGuinty, George Smitherman, and Jim Bradley denied cancer coverage to Suzanne Aucoin, until Ontario's Ombudsman had to investigate the matter; now Liberals Kathleen Wynne, Deb Matthews, and Jim Bradley are doing that again with Kimm Fletcher.

It's the same thing, all over again - it's Aucoin-Redux. It's George Smitherman morphing into Deb Matthews; its Deb Matthews channeling Smitherman. It's Groundhog Day starring health-monopoly hack Jim Bradley. It's Jim Bradley and his healthcare-denying bait-and-switch Deja-Vu Revue. Guess the same Ombudsman will now have to investigate this case as well. At least Andre Marin has seen this health-horror-movie before, and is now familiar with the McGuinty-Wynne Liberals' two-faced tactics.

Niagara's press is surely already developing angles to shield, cover, and divert attention away from their glittering jewel Jimmy Bradley.

Once again, the press' protective Cone of Silence will be lovingly lowered upon Liberal MPP Jim Bradley by his fifth-columnist sycophants.

See writer Lori Williams' plea to the Liberal health-care-cutter Kathleen Wynne http://www.thespec.com/opinion-story/5768423-dear-kathleen-wynne-please-find-this-woman-a-hospital-bed/ (Hamilton Spectator, Jul.31, 2015):
"Dear Ms. Wynne:

I am writing you today in regards to Laura Hillier, the young woman in Burlington who, with intense treatment, is currently in remission from acute myelogenous leukemia. She is 18 years of age and just recently graduated in my daughter's class from Nelson High School.

Laura and her family were elated to find out that there was more than one match for Laura to move forward for a stem cell transplant recently. Imagine what that kind of news felt like for Laura and her loved ones! Except that they very quickly found out that Laura would not be imminently receiving the transplant due to a lack of beds. What a blow this must have been to them.

The chemotherapy drug that Laura needs to endure to keep her cancer in remission has already caused permanent damage to her vision. It caused a brain infection that spread to her retina. Having this treatment again for an extended period of time while waiting for a bed seems unruly and cruel to put it mildly and may result in further damage or even worse.

Although I do not know Laura, I know of the worry and struggles of someone battling this horrible disease called cancer.

Through my daughter Meghan, I know that Laura is not only an incredible student but also an incredible person. She has set an example to her graduating class of how life should be lived by everyone. Her positivity, infectious personality and zest for life shaped approximately 400 students at Nelson and as an extension, their families as well.

I have never met Laura but I partially credit her for showing my daughter how life should be approached which is a quality that is invaluable especially as Meghan moves on to university in the fall. As I sit here thinking of all the planning that comes from sending your child off to university, I can't help but think of Laura.

I have always taken for granted that Meghan would go through elementary school, high school and then university and we are fortunate that all of this has occurred. All parents think of this, but that has not been the case for Laura's mom, Frances Hillier. Instead of getting ready for university, Laura is in the fight for her life; instead of Frances thinking about meal plans, supplies she needs and Skyping with her daughter, she is worried that a bed will not become available in time to save her precious daughter's life.

I have read all the articles on wait-lists, the different kinds of stem cell transplants and the "strained system" but that is little comfort to Laura and her family. We are fortunate to live in a country where we pride ourselves on equality and justice for all. We need to do everything in our power to find this young lady a bed so she can move on with her treatment. I implore you to provide the necessary support this family needs to provide Laura the provisions to move forward with her stem cell transplant.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,

Lori Williams

Does any Ontario Liberal - such as Liberal MPP Jim Bradley - care about any of this?!?
Patients suffering in Ontario - who cares about that?
Liberal hacks Jim Bradley and Kathleen Wynne have a Planet To Save!!
By July, 2015, Kathleen Wynne, on behalf of the provincial Ontario Liberal Party, was busy polluting a federal election campaign with her disgusting ideology (and acting as a proxy for Justin Trudeau) rather than acknowledge and rectify the demonstrably colossal failure of her own disgusting Liberalism in Ontario.

Liberal Environment Minister Jim Bradley - Ontario's "Godfather of GreenFear" - remains unchalleged by the media on latest energy fiasco

There's another good article from Scott Stinson about the Dalton Wynne/ Kathleen McGuinty {...you can't tell them apart, really...} Liberal government's energy disaster:  Ontario paying the price for Energy Act (National Post, Apr.11, 2013).

With Ontario's auditor-general now reporting that Ontario has lost almost TWO BILLION dollars by exporting electricity at a loss, when do you think anyone in Niagara will actually bother to question the local Liberals whose government caused this mess?!

When will Niagara's vaunted Liberal-shoe-shining press ever bother to question their local Liberal purveyors of climate-change fear, MPP's Kim Craitor and Jim Bradley, and ask them to comment on the massive costs caused by their own climate-fear propaganda?!

... do ya think the St.Catharines Standard's Laughable Wrong-Righters Wendy Metcalfe, or Bolichowski, or Don Fraser haha or Lafleche hahhaa will ever bother to dare ask Ole Liberal MPP Jim Bradley {who just happens to be Ontario's disgusting Environment Minister!!} Jim Bradley 'bout any of this...?!? [easy answer: nope]

The Liberals' Green Energy Act (aka George Smitherman's GreenFear Act of Economic Destruction) has been lovingly supported by the media in Niagara, essentially without question: after all, we were all warned that the Planet Was In Peril  by Niagara's GreenFear-supporting press propagandists.

The assumptions at the root of this gargantuan green-energy cockup were based on the climate-change / global-warming enviro-alarmism propagated for years by none other than Niagara's own local boy, Good Ole Jim Bradley!!

Jim Bradley's green-pushing bolshevism was allowed to pass essentially unchallenged in Niagara's press.

Jim Bradley - Ontario's Godfather of GreenFear - has been given such a free ride in Niagara's Liberal-pandering press, that it's an affront to "journalism"; it's been more like years of JimmyFriendly oh-shucks-golly-gee ignorant fawning Bradley FanClub puff-pieces, which border on being unpaid fifth-columnist propaganda/campaign literature!
Niagara's "reporters" don't question Liberal MPP Jim Bradley's GreenFear propaganda - they evangelize it.

Liberal MPP Jim Bradley has been riding a long, unchallenged wave of fawning from Niagara's media.

No one has bothered to examine Jim Bradley's decades of Green bolshevism, or to even ask Liberal Environment Minister Jim Bradley to reveal his specific AGW "evidence" for global-warming/climate-change, and then ask Ole Jimmy how his brand of "it's-all-settled"-GreenFear-socialism will "solve" any of it!! What a GreenFraud hoax this all is!!

There is a direct link between Liberal Jim Bradley's Kyoto-pushing-GreenFear-propaganda and his Liberals' disastrous Green Energy Act, which, with all its consequent costly energy experiments, inevitably led to the pathetic resignation of disgusting Dalton McGuinty.

The whole fiasco was based on GreenFear, propagated from the start by unchallenged climatalarmists such as St.Catharines Liberal MPP Jim Bradley... and his enabler friends in Niagara's press.

So: Keep that quiet, ya hear?!

Ontario Liberal gas-plant cover-up continues

It's amazing, isn't it, to see how the deceptions perpetrated by the McGuinty Liberals, simply continue unabated under the Wynne Liberals.
We might as well call this the Kathleen McGuinty government; it's the same old Grit scumbaggery we've come to expect, different pair of pants.
As Antonella Artuso reported in the St.Catharines Standard's Feb.22, 2013 'Friday night bad news dump', the Kathleen McGuinty Liberals are suddenly shocked - shocked, they tell us... as Bob Chiarelli actually did!! - that yet more OPA gas-plant files have been revealed - this despite the Liberals doing their best to hide from this scandal since last year.
Oh, and yes - these files even had secret code names for them, like Project Vapour, Project Banana, or Project Fruit Salad, which show us the depth to which Ontario's disgusting Liberals [...codename: scumbags...] went to, in their attempts to hide and cover up their gas-plant vote-buying scam.
It's as if Dalton was playing some Bond villain, with his secrets and code names and political manipulations.
We have just gone back to where this all ended - when Dalton resigned and prorogued the House at Queen's Park - and are starting all over again!
Dalton, let's not forget, tried to blame all this on a 'toxic opposition' which was asking Dalton too many questions! Dalton, accustomed to eight years as a majority dictator, didn't feel he had to oblige the taxpayers of Ontario with answers on how his Ontario Liberal Party used tax dollars to buy themselves an election.
Dalton's lying Liberals kept telling us that there were no more files; lo and behold, more files kept popping up. McGuinty was so deep into his web of deceit, he resigned.
So now, four months after McGuinty's slimebag move to close down the house (to buy his disgusting Liberals some time to get their stories straight) we have yet more revelations and more files emerging - this every time just after the Liberals finish telling us 'ok, that's it, that's all of them, honest...'!
As MPP Vic Fedeli said "Now we know that there were documents that were covered up."
Well, we now know why Dalton the liar quit, as well.
We're back to where we were in October 2012.
The Liberals, try as McGuinty did, should not be able to get away from the contempt hearings.
Of course, Kathleen McGuinty has already stated that she will not call a public inquiry, giving us her facile excuse that 'it would cost too much'!!
Are ya kidding us, premier Kathleen McGuinty?!
Is that the reason your cowardly Liberals are hiding from an inquiry - that it would 'cost too much' to find out exactly how many millions of dollars your Liberal Party's vote-buying scheme cost Ontario's taxpayers?!?! oh, come on now, Katie!!
You just smugly and arbitrarily decided that 'we don't need no stinkin' 'vestigations'?!?!
How convenient!
This is exactly why the Liberals need to be turfed, and soon.
This Liberal stink will not go away; the Kathleen McGuinty Liberals are the very same Dalton Wynne Liberals from the year before - nothing's changed: it's the exact same flailing hydra, the same crew, same faces, same sins.
We all should remember how St.Catharines GreenFear-spreader MPP Liberal Jim Bradley smugly agreed with Dalton last year, parroting the Liberal lie that the house was 'toxic', shamelessly blaming the opposition for pestering Jimmy's poor ole lyin' Libs with all kinds of silly questions about some kinda gas-plant scandal...!!!
Remember that?
Now, Ole Jim Bradley's talkin' all kumbaya about now that Kathleen McGuinty is the new Gritmeister, that Jimmy has great hopes that the opposition will now work with the Grits!!
Yes, sure, Jimmy: you think we should all just forget that your Liberals bought an election with tax dollars, through your Liberal Party's gas-plant vote-buying scheme?!
The opposition should just, ah... forget about that, Jim?
And, should we also just forget that the gas-plants (which led to Dalton's downfall) had been approved by the Liberals in the first place, because of the incessant GreenFear climate-change-doom spread for years by none other than Ole Jim Bradley himself??!
...so, yah, sure... forget that too!
Just do as the St.Catharines Standard Bradley Bootlicker usually does: don't ask Liberal MPP Jim Bradley too many questions.

The emotional health-care terrorism of Jim Bradley's Ontario Liberal government

Further to earlier posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here...

...don't tell sickos Michael Moore or Ole Mike Dukakis, or Babs Yaffe and her frothing Shona Holmes-haters, about this Dec.5, 2012 Toronto Star story!

While we're at it: don't tell Ontario Liberal health-minister Deb Matthews about it, and for gaia's sake, don't ask global-warming greenfear-monger and single-payer health monopolist, Liberal MPP Jim Bradley about it, either.

And DO NOT ask any of those pathetic Liberal chumps, who are eagerly vying to become Liberal leader (and therefore Ontario's next premier) to comment about this case!! Don't want any of those phony-'Liberal renewal' peddlers to dare commit to any non-party line about healthcare!

As Jim Rankin wrote in the Star story:

"...Hajinian and her brother were amazed by the level of care [in the United States] and both feel her case highlights a major problem with health care in Ontario and Canada.

Despite a petition and campaign to get her help, including pleas to MPs, MPPs and a package Babikian personally delivered to Premier Dalton McGuinty, the system, in this case, did not deliver in a timely fashion, says Babikian.

“We never heard anything from them,” said Babikian.

With all of the money spent on health care in Canada, they don’t comprehend why they had to put so much effort — for so long — into a futile hunt for specialized help in Canada.

The quest for care has taken a toll. Her husband suffered a minor stroke and caring for her has stressed the extended family.

“We don’t want any more Ontarians to live through the hell that we lived through for the last 13 years,” said Babikan. “Why do we need to put hard-working Ontarians and their families through, to be honest, what is emotional terrorism by our own government. This is not a third-world country where you hear of such stories.”

If all goes as hoped with her recovery, the money spent on her surgery may actually save Canadian taxpayers the added long term health care and other costs that Hajinian most likely would have racked up without the surgery.

“Our health care system needs a serious revision, serious reform,” said Babikian. “I don’t understand how these bureaucrats make these decisions.”

Hajinian says she heard from more than one Canadian doctor that the U.S. doctors would do the surgery just for the money.

“But why would they risk their reputation for a $30,000 surgery?” wondered Hajinian. “It wasn’t for the money. They provided the service and they were concerned...”

 

Ontario patients did not hear back from McGuinty's Liberals?!!!! Where oh where were McGuinty's Liberals hiding?! Hiding is what McGuinty's Liberal weasels do best!!

 

No one really understands how Ontario bureaucrats in McGuinty's Liberal health care monopoly "make these decisions", even at HSARB!!

 

McGuinty's Liberal monopolist hacks DID NOT and DO NOT want ANY serious revision or reform to their disastrous health monopoly!!

They immediately (with their friends at the Toronto Star and the St.Catharines Standard Bradley Bootlicker) attack anyone who suggests any kind of healthcare reform for Ontario!! [It's amazing to even see the Star carrying this story, seeing as the Star, like the St.Catharines Standard, naturally, vehemently advocates for the Tommy Douglas status-quo and against what patients  themselves are saying!!]

 

When Babikian talks of emotional terrorism by "our own government", let's remember, this refers to Dalton McGuinty's Liberal government in Ontario. This is what Liberal Healthcare Duplicity is all about!!

 

This also includes pathetic Liberal hacks like Liberal MPP Jim Bradley, who is a stalwart anti-patient-choice statist, a smug single-payer monopolist, and an American health-system-hater, who for decades has sneered with contempt at the U.S. health system.

 

Monopolist Bradley never advocated any serious reform of his health monopoly; Bradley could care less about what to him are meaningless anecdotes from the Hajinians or the Kapurs or the Bradys of Ontario. To Ole Monopolist Jimmy, such patients are but little glitches, mere footnotes, irksome anomalies, minor inconveniences, in Bradley's Great Liberal Radiant Healthcare Future!!

 

Liberal MPP Jim Bradley will keep kissing Tommy Douglas' ass, no matter how many Ontarians are threatened by Bradley's ideologically-perverted health policies.

For Gord Miller, Liberal GreenFear-monger Jim Bradley hasn't destroyed Ontario's economy fast enough

Oh, it is absolutely hilarious - in the most pathetic way - how Liberal MPP Jim Bradley and Gord Miller are now arguing about global warming!

As far as Miller is concerned, Jim the Kyodiot Bradley and his Ontario Liberals - astoundingly - have NOT YET DONE ENOUGH damage to Ontario's economy!! What a phony GreenFear-scripted I'm-greener-than-you stage-play this is!!

Too bad that both of these GreenFear-spreading clowns don't heed David Evans' position in "Why I recanted", (National Post, Aug.30, 2008), that

"There is no evidence to support the idea that carbon emissions cause significant global warming. None."

and

"So far that debate has just consisted of a simple sleight of hand: show evidence of global warming, and while the audience is stunned at the implications, simply assert that it is due to carbon emissions.

In the minds of the audience, the evidence that global warming has occurred becomes conflated with the alleged cause, and the audience hasn't noticed that the cause was merely asserted, not proved.

If there really was any evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming, don't you think we would have heard all about it ad nauseam by now?

The world has spent $50-billion on global warming since 1990, and we have not found any actual evidence that carbon emissions cause global warming. Evidence consists of observations made by someone at some time that supports the idea that carbon emissions cause global warming. Computer models and theoretical calculations are not evidence, they are just theory."
*

Here we are in Dec.2012 [...after countless more billions were wasted just in Ontario alone on McGuinty's GreenFear experiments...] watching Bradley and Miller putting on quite the show in their sleight-of-hand act; all that's missing is for McGuinty-supporter David Suzuki to wander in, for the it's-all-settled GreenStoogery to be complete.

Note where Robert Benzie writes: "The environmental watchdog also noted Ontario has yet to formally announce when it would enter the Western Climate Initiative’s cap-and-trade program."

Ahh yes: the ole WCI... the other GreenFear-inspired bureaucratic-beard, which collapsed a while ago... so, tell us, Jim Bradley, when is your carbon tax going into effect!!!?

We all know that Jimmy's cash-starved Liberals would have already implemented their McGuinty Climate Tax, with or without the WCI-ruse: it's just that they desperately needed a majority to shove this further monstrous tax-gouge onto Ontario. (as they did with their health tax and their HST and their eco-tax)

So, don't worry, Gordo: Good Ole Jimmy Bradley wants to destroy Ontario just as much - if not more - than you do.

 Precious... just precious, how these money-hungry little GreenFear-pushing demagogues operate...

The McGuinty/Smitherman/Bradley Liberal Green disaster

J.C. Bourque wrote in "A warning for Ontario: government-led innovation rarely works" Globe and Mail, Dec.4, 2012:

"Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty has presided over a precipitous economic decline – a fact confirmed by Roger Martin’s most recent Institute for Competitiveness and Prosperity report. The province is experiencing a long-term drop in prosperity vis-a-vis its North American peers. Five years on from the financial crisis and more than a month after the announcement of his resignation, Premier McGuinty’s Jobs and Prosperity Council is set to offer up ideas on how to reverse the province’s economic decline.
Like the Drummond report, this document may prove decisive in framing the public policy debate for the current Liberal leadership race and, more important, the next election. Judging from a recent TVO panel, intervention may become the order of the day. Twentieth-century policy shorthands such as “industrial policy” and “sector supports” are being resurrected. The promotion of fuzzy policies around “innovation” and “clusters” continues unabated.
Government-led economic development and innovation initiatives usually fail and, in fact, often cause more harm than good. As the Ontario government finally turns its attention to the economy, here is a list of the biggest reasons why such government initiatives are so unsuccessful and frequently damaging..."


"...Many governments, looking for ideas to spur economic growth, cast an eye to successful examples of government action around the globe. Understanding successful government initiatives is certainly a good part of public policy development. However, copying other governments can often be a recipe for failure. It should not be forgotten that the genesis for the McGuinty government’s Green Energy Act was a 2008 tour of Europe by then-energy-minister George Smitherman. He was impressed with the apparent economic success of green energy policies in Germany and other European countries. The newspaper accounts at the time are interesting to read in light of the policy’s uncertain future and failure to engender “green jobs”:
“Imagine a world where we could emulate their success?” asks an animated Mr. Smitherman, 44, who later turns to Amy Tang, an adviser sitting across the table. “Sorry, now I’m getting all worked up. Am I frothing at the mouth?”
And “emulate” the province did. What the province failed to understand was that other European nations had a full decade head start over Ontario, that the economic/energy structure of Germany was not at all analogous to that of Ontario and that China was about to enter the renewables market in a big way. Understanding the key drivers of our own jurisdiction’s success is far more important than grafting on a strategy developed elsewhere. Instead of travelling to Germany for his policies, the then-minister should have strolled not 20 minutes down University Avenue from Queen’s Park, where a huge statue honoring Sir Adam Beck, the father of our hydro-electric system, is inscribed to remind us of his genius in allowing Ontario to “enjoy the benefits of low-cost electrical energy.” Hopefully, we have finally learned that aping other jurisdictions rarely works.
Rent seeking
Perhaps the most insidious effect of government interventions in the economy is “rent seeking.” Rent seeking occurs when actors gain a share of economic value through setting the political and economic rules, rather than through innovation or growing economic activity. These efforts create significant distortions in the broader economy, destroying value and economic potential throughout.
Industry structure is an important determinant to whether “rents” can be extracted. Telecom and the airline industry are examples of industry structures that keep economic value in the hands of a few firms, rather than spreading the fruits of productivity to consumers and the broader economy. As the Globe and Mail has pointed out, the structure of these industries has acted as a substantial drag on Canadian productivity.
A specific example in Ontario is when municipalities and the broader public sector are forced into “closed tendering” because of labour agreements. The results are predictable: when only one group has a monopoly on government contracts, the cost of services skyrockets. One City of Hamilton report estimated the extra construction costs due to being forced into “closed tendering” were as high as 40 per cent.
Often, the rationale for granting economic rents is to “protect” jobs and economic activity; the reality is far different..."

We all remember Dalton McGuinty smugly lecturing us how his statist Liberals would be the ones proudly picking the 'winners' and (consequently) creating the 'losers'.

We remember the whole 'Niagara is the Green (fear) Capital of Canada' propaganda campaign, don't we?! Rent seekers - what rent seekers, eh?!

Green jobs - what green jobs?! Green tax-debt-subsidized state-orchestrated make-work projects, y'mean?!

Ask Liberal MPP (Ontario's Environment Minister) Jim Bradley where specifically those 50,000 Liberal green jobs are, which he and his lying Ontario Liberals claim they have created!! Oh... and if you do manage to see secretive Jimmy, ask him (...because, no St.Catharines Standard reporter ever will...) how many net jobs he has created, after accounting for all the jobs which were lost directly due to Jim Bradley's GreenFear-paranonoia-induced Liberal ideology!

It was nice of Bourque to point out George Smitherman back in 2008, frothing at the mouth about 'green energy', plotzing happily in his diapers at the thought of having the state direct an entire industry, solely through Smitherman's own hallucinogenic vision. And yet that Grit stink Smitherman had the audacity to pop up from obscurity to lecture Rob Ford about "accountability" - considering that whatever Smitherman had touched in office, immediately turned into an incompetent, costly disaster! George Smitherman: Touchdown For Hypocrisy!

Voila: Smitherman's secret Samsung deal, lauded with praise - by unaccountable Liberals!!
Voila: Wind turbines forced onto rural land, with municipalities unable to fight back!
Voila: McGuinty - billions in the red!
Voila: Hydro rates sky-high, while Jim Bradley sells subsidized power to the Americans, to... um... ahh... "save the Planet From Peril"...!!
Voila: Liberal cowards ran away from Parliament - and also prorogued it! - when Ontarians finally demanded answers regarding McGuinty's and Jim Bradley's disastrous long-con Big Green Lie.
*
Fast forward to July 20, 2013, to Jim Merriam's column in the St.Catharines Standard, "Lots of spin by supporters of turbines", where Merriam writes of how on July 15, 2013 (during the heat wave, hour 17) Ontario's wind turbines were producing 47 MW of power - in other words: they were contributing less than 0.2% of peak demand of 24,025 MW.
It was a paltry, pathetic performance - and a supremely expensive one, at that.
It's funny how Merriam does not bother to  mention that it was Dalton McGuinty's high-school-educated genius George Smitherman, who cooked up this green wind turbine fiasco. These are the numbers which a secretive Smitherman, in his haste to satiate his buddy Liberal colleague Jim Bradley's global-warming Greenfear-mongering, neglected to tell Ontario's taxpayers about.
These nutters went on a bender with their green binge windy fiasco, in order (according to their green delusions) to supposedly 'save the planet from doom' - as seen by Dalton McGuinty's bald-faced GreenFear-induced lies, openly peddled on television to Sean Mallen in 2009.
Merriam, in his July 20, 2013 story, doesn't bother to examine the clear links [evident for over a decade, even before McGuinty's first election] between the subject of his column, and the GreenFear lies spewed by Liberal doom-spreaders such as Dalton McGuinty, Jim Bradley, George Smitherman, and the entire Ontario Liberal Party.
(Merriam doesn't even mention the word "Liberal" in his story!!! Wow: it's as if it was some other party which ran Ontario into the ground for the last decade!!!)
Merriam didn't bother to examine how a decade's worth of Ontario Liberal Party GreenFear-based climate-lies directly led to the Ontario GreenFear-induced energy disaster we now have.
Merriam (like the Standard's Wendy Metcalfe; like legions of wrong-righting media hacks before and since) failed to detail St.Catharines Liberal MPP Jim Bradley's decades of GreenFear activism, and failed to ask for, and examine, Jim Bradley's specific "evidence" that climate change is man-made, and that socialism is the cure.
After all, Jim Bradley is only Ontario's Liberal environment minister (!!) - so, teehee, what relevance could Bradley's decades of GreenFear-peddling have, to articles such as Merriam's, which end up telling us half the story about the expensive half-baked GreenFear-based delusions of Ontario's Liberal climate-lying machine - right?!!

Will GreenFear-monger Liberal Jim Bradley ever explain his role in botching Ontario's economy?

Further to previous posts here and here and here ...

... Andy Frame writes about "The big Ontario power-plant question, Will the Liberals ever explain their botched site-selection process?" (Dec.3, 2012 Hamilton Spectator), but oddly, he doesn't specifically mention former Liberal Energy Minister Brad Duguid's role in this McGuinty-energy-fiasco.

Why didn't Frame bother to question Duguid's claims (as reported Oct.7, 2010) that not only was the Oakville gas-plant's power suddenly not needed, but that the Oakville plant was NOT going to be rebuilt anywhere else in Ontario?!! Both of these points are relevant to Frame's story!

Doesn't anyone remember Duguid's smarmy claims, which we have since seen, turned out to be Liberal lies?!?

(...and, note, Duguid said this in 2010, a year prior to the Mississauga-plant also being cancelled!!)

Frame keeps asking "why not the Lakeview site", which is a good question, yet which, however, ignores the fact that Duguid claimed the power from the cancelled-Oakville plant was not needed in Ontario, anywhere, in the first place!! So, on that basis - why would any site be needed, at all??

Perhaps instead of Frame asking "why not the Lakeview site", Frame should be questioning 'why the Lakeview site'  [...not to mention 'why the Lennoxville-Bath site' and 'why the Sarnia site'...] based on what Duguid had said in 2010: that more electrical power was no longer required, so no replacement plant would be built, at any site!

... and on that line of thought:
... if  (as Duguid claimed in 2010) the power was not needed from the cancelled-Oakville gas plant in 2010, then that would have signified that, similarly, the power would also not be needed from the next-to-be-cancelled Mississauga gas plant, in 2011 - yet, both were announced to be replaced elsewhere, completely contradicting Duguid's statements! So: was the power 'needed' or 'not needed'?!

... and also: if the Oakville power was not needed in 2010, then why did McGuinty's Liberals nevertheless continue with the development of the Mississauga site - only to cancel it at the last minute in the middle of  the 2011 election??!!!

Frame should also try to contact (since the St.Catharines Standard certainly won't bother) the elusive Kyoto-GreenFear-peddler, Liberal MPP Jim Bradley (Ontario's currently-prorogued Environment Minister) to learn about the status and timing of the environmental approvals for these sites.

But as we have seen, secretive Liberal Jim Bradley doesn't much like answering pesky questions, especially when he is Personally Saving The Planet From Climate-Change Peril and Doom!!

As Frame writes: "What has been happening for at least five years is now evident. The McGuinty government has made political decisions that override power planning decisions and these decisions have cost millions of dollars. The result is higher hydro bills for residential customers. Ontario industrial customers will have much higher costs, which will lower their competitive position, and the Ontario economy will suffer."

This is exactly what Bradley and McGuinty were warned about in 2002-2003, when they were pushing for Kyoto.

These Liberals ignored the warnings then, and negligently plowed ahead with their idiotic GreenFear-paranoia-induced energy experimentation. Then when their Climate Change/Global Warming/Kyodiot house of GreenFear-fraud collapsed, they ran for cover and prorogued Ontario's Parliament.

Go ahead: ask Jim Bradley exactly why he and his disgusting Liberals ran away from accountability in the House: it was because they simply didn't feel like answering pesky questions from the opposition!

And now look at what these Liberal scum have wrought upon our province.

Hypocrite Dalton's petty, pathetic, whining, waning days...

It was astounding to hear Ontario Premier Liberal Liar Dalton McGuinty's hypocritical whining about Harper in this Nov.20, 2012 Toronto Star story "McGuinty laments Harper’s refusal to attend premiers’ meeting in Halifax".

Yes folks: this is from the same Liberal scumbag Dalton, who refused to work with the elected members in Ontario's Legislature, and who then prorogued the Legislature and ran away from a House contempt inquiry!!!

This is the same McGuinty who resigned as premier, to allow his Liberals free time to conduct their own little leadership/free publicity campaign!

This is the same proud Liberal who, upon receiving a minority government from the electorate, resented not getting his own bullying way, and couldn't be bothered dealing with the pesky opposition, or answering any of their pesky questions!!

Yes: this is Dictator Dalton bizarrely and sanctimoniously lecturing Harper for 'passing up a chance to co-operate' on issues!

{... like, back when Ole 'Clean-Air McGuinty' didn't want to be tied down by federal greenhouse gas regulation..? Let McGuinty pretend that didn't happen...}

Unbelievable.

But, there it is: the unabashed two-faced Liberal scumbaggery for all to see.

Another piece of stink to add to Disgusting Dalton McGuinty's portfolio of Grit stink, sure to enhance his glorious legacy of duplicity and failure.

This incident, small as it is, speaks volumes about this slimy Liberal's character - it's as if he cannot comprehend the enormity of the damage which his own political experiments have caused in Ontario.

Hey: let's go to a party and sing praises to the Great Sorbara, and merrily celebrate the Liberal disaster zone which Ontario has become...

Another St.Catharines Standard Jim Bradley puff-piece

Further to this earlier post...

...the St.Catharines Standard Bradley Shoeshiner somehow dug up Ole Jim Bradley for a story in their Nov.20, 2012 edition.

[Amazing, eh?! For half a year, when dozens of patients were infected and dying of C. difficile in Niagara, the St.Catharines Standard couldn't be bothered to find Jim Bradley!!!!!!!]

But hey - don't worry: this was just another JimmyFriendly puff-piece, with no substance; this time from Niagara Falls Review reporter Ray Spiteri. It was a 'very important' article about, ah... um... oh yeah... what Jim Bradley (the Environment Minister!) thinks about the 100K Sunshine List!

Wow! For this, they found Ole Jimmy?!?!!

And the Standard even carried a nice large photo of Good Ole Liberal Jimmy, just for good measure! Oh, that's super! Why, it's like a campaign photo, it's so great!! hahahahaha

Spiteri made sure - damn sure - not to mention that Jim Bradley is even a Liberal! Spiteri just wrote that Bradley is an "MPP". But Spiteri managed to remind us that Mike Harris was a "Conservative". Thanks, Spiteri.

So, Liberal MPP Jim Bradley was not asked about Bradley's years of global warming / climate change GreenFear-mongering, which directly led to Dalton McGuinty's eventual resignation as Premier. (...not to mention the multi-billion-dollar costs of Bradley's Liberal GreenFear-paranoia-based energy experiments).

Spiteri didn't ask Jim Bradley why the gas-plants are being built, when Brad Duguid told us that Ontario didn't need the power. (I mean, for cryin' out loud: Spiteri even had the loquacious Bradley babbling on that if someone changed the Sunshine List "they might be accused of trying to hide something"! Say whaaat?! You mean, like your Liberals did, Jim???!

Bradley gave Spiteri the opening; Spiteri just did his stenography and moved on.

Spiteri didn't ask Good Ole Jimmy why his Liberals are denying health care to Ontario children, who must go to the States for their treatment.

Was Spiteri told (...he didn't do this story all by himself, did he?! If so: shame...) by his editors to write some puff-piece to get Ole Jimmy in the papers again, on issues far removed from Jimmy's disgusting Liberal proroguation? This story did the trick.

So, that's what we saw in the St.Catharines Standard: another little bit of JimmyFriendly propaganda, ignoring the true political questions swirling around Jimmy's Liberals. These are the kind of stories which Warren Kinsella approves of!

Good job, all around!! The Ontario Liberal Party (...and Jim Bradley, natch!) thanks you!

Liberal Jim Bradley 'intentionally misleading and deceptive' regarding industrial wind turbine safety hazards

 Further to my earlier post here...

...where Trish Crang Singhampton wrote:

"...Both Premier Dalton McGuinty and Environment Minister Jim Bradley have been repeatedly quoted as saying that the setback requirements in Ontario are 'some of the toughest in the world' and 'the best in North America'. Contrary to these claims, there are a multitude of townships and counties in the United States, other areas of Canada and various countries around the world, with setback regulations and wind ordinances that are clearly stricter than those in Ontario.
I believe that Mr. McGuinty and Mr. Bradley are intentionally trying to mislead and deceive the people of Ontario. Their statements are simply not true..."

...will Wendy Metcalfe's self-appointed St.Catharines Standard Wrong-Righting Jim Bradley Mutual Admiration Society of Water-skiers now bother to ask Ontario Environment Minister Jim Bradley about this Lorrie Goldstein story, "An ill wind for McGuinty; New scientific study links wind turbines to health hazards"?!

(What's Ole Greenshevik, Kyoto-Pushin', Climate Alarmist & General Global-Warming GreenFear-Peddler-about-town Jimmy got to do with any of this - right Warren oh, sorry right, Wendy...?!! hahahah)

Why would the St.Catharines Standard bother to ask their Ole Buddy Green Jimmy, about any of this stuff?!

Those wind turbines are all Green, Clean, and Good, right Wendy?! Isn't that the Standard's natural default narrative, unless Jim Bradley issues a new set of commands?! Jim Bradley's Industrial GreenFear-approved bird-shredders are 'Saving The Earth From Doom' - according to Liberal Jim Bradley's GreenFear mythology. Who cares about setbacks, when the 'Planet Is In Dire Peril'?!? Those who challenge Jim Bradley's hallowed climate-despotism are 'deniers' who cannot see that 'it's all settled' - right Wendy?! Isn't that what Jimmy would say? If the Standard ever bothered to challenge their BestBoyBradley, maybe we'd know!

Why would the Standard ever bother to examine Jim Bradley's Liberal record of GreenFear-paranoia-based deceptions?! Why would the Standard ever bother to ask Liberal MPP Jim Bradley about how municipalities such as Wainfleet are being sued by the Wind Industry, because they dared to establish larger set-back requirements in their own jurisdiction?! How dare they!

Why would the BradleyFanClub at the St.Catharines Standard bother to ask current Liberal Environment Minister Jim Bradley about any of this, seeing that former Liberal Environment Minister John Wilkinson lost his seat over how Ontario's rural communities were steam-rollered by the Liberals' GreenFear-paranoia-based policies?!

It's for the best, then, for the local Niagara press not to broach the subject with secretive, sensitive Ole Jimmy. Oh...  not sensitive to the people, mind you; sensitive to The Earth, Ole Jimmy is! To Jim Bradley and his Liberal cabal of GreenFear climatalarmists, people are in the way of Green Jimmy's Save-The-Planetism.

Liberal Chris Bentley should now explain Brad Duguid's energy lies

Further to my earlier post here...

...let's go back about a month and a half, and read this:

An “unmitigated disaster” - TransCanada’s lawyers describing the settlement negotiations, Globe and Mail (September 24, 2012)

QUEEN’S PARK – Taxpayers will pay at least $450 million for the politically-motivated decision to cancel and relocate the Oakville gas plant, Ontario PC House Leader Jim Wilson said today. This brings the total cost of cancelling the power plants in Mississauga and Oakville to a staggering $640 million.
“It’s an insult and an abuse of power to deceive taxpayers about the true costs of these cancelled power plants,” Wilson said. “Internal government documents reveal a far more damning price. Taxpayers will pay a minimum of $450-million – all because the Liberals were afraid of losing their seat in Oakville.”
The cost, according to Schedule B of the Memorandum of Understanding between the government and TransCanada, includes a $40 million payment for unrecoverable costs and a $210 million payment to purchase TransCanada’s gas turbines. The OPA documents further reveal that an additional $200 million will be required for new transmission lines, a cost which was concealed by the Minister of Energy for the past two years.
“The case for contempt is growing against the McGuinty Liberals,” Wilson said. “Not only are they still trying to hide the true cost of cancelling these gas plants, but there’s also reason to believe that Minister Bentley has failed to provide all documents requested by the Estimates Committee.”
Despite emails from the Ontario Power Authority repeatedly citing political interference in the decision to cancel the plants, Wilson noted that the released documents did not include any of the requested correspondence between officials from the Liberal Party of Ontario and officials at the Ministry of Energy and the Ontario Power Authority.
“Massive portions of the documents are either redacted or missing entirely,” Wilson said. “Therefore, we have introduced a motion of contempt to ensure the Liberals are held accountable for withholding the truth from Ontarians,” Wilson continued. “If passed, the motion will re-strike the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs to immediately begin an investigation into the cancellations of the two power plants and the subsequent cover-up.”
“The costs of these cancelled plants continue to rise, at the taxpayers’ expense. We may not know the true costs for years, but it is clear that the figures provided by the government are absolute nonsense. The cost of cancelling the Oakville power plant is at least $450 million.”
“It’s all further proof that the McGuinty Liberals are grossly incompetent and can’t be trusted to manage a highly important and complex issue like energy,” Wilson concluded

Note the part I highlighted in red above. The costs of the McGuinty Gas Plant Scandal (known as of Sept.24, 2012) for the Oakville plant, were 40 million for 'unrecoverables', plus 210 million for turbines, plus 200 million for new transmission lines.

Now, keeping in mind the above-noted costs for the Liberal-aborted Oakville plant, let's look at the figures provided in this letter to the editor "Ontario Cabinet Minister Responds" (National Post, Nov.3, 2012) written by Liberal hack Chris Bentley:

"Re: McGuinty’s costly machinations, Terence Corcoran, Nov. 1.
The McGuinty government has always been clear about the total cost of relocation of both the Mississauga gas plant and the Oakville gas plant. And that number is $230-million. It is misleading and inaccurate to suggest the cost is more than $1-billion.
The total cost of relocating the Mississauga gas plant is approximately $190-million, and that includes a settlement agreement with EIG, the financier of the Greenfield South project, on behalf of Greenfield Power, the Ontario Power Authority and the province. It also includes all payments made by OPA including construction costs, design costs, permitting costs, etc., for the Mississauga site.
For the Oakville gas plant, the total cost of relocation is approximately $40-million, including all payments made by the OPA including engineering costs, design costs, and permitting costs for the site.
Terence Corcoran suggests there are unaccounted for transmission line costs, related to the relocation of both plants. That is simply not the case. Transmission upgrades were needed with or without the power plant being built in Oakville. Since the plant is not being constructed in the area, these transmission upgrades may be needed by 2018 instead of 2029. No costs have been incurred".

Suddenly the cost of the turbines (agreed by McGuinty's Liberals and TransCanada) has vanished from Bentley's Nov.3 letter. Now, Bentley says, the transmission lines in Oakville would have had to be upgraded "with or without" the Oakville plant being built.  And what about the site in Bath (and in Sarnia, for that matter): Are absolutely no transmission upgrades needed there, as part of the relocation?

Bentley also glosses over his Liberals' secretive 'no cheque to TransCanada' machinations, and, Bentley glosses over why the mysterious land deal (swapping the cancelled-Oakville site for a new site at Bath, Ont.) was even necessary, seeing that Bentley's predecessor, Energy Minister Brad Duguid, said (in this Oct.7, 2010 Toronto Star story) that Ontario DID NOT need any more power, and, Duguid also said that the Oakville plant WAS NOT going to be rebuilt anywhere else in Ontario!!!
[...note that even in Wikipedia's page on the Liberal Ontario gas power plant scandal there is ABSOLUETELY NO LINK made to the Oct.7, 2010 Toronto Star article; this was still the case - even as of Jun.13, 2014 - a day after Liberal liar Brad Duguid was re-elected!!! 
Even the Toronto Star's trio reporters who had written the original Oct.7, 2010 story (ROB FERGUSON, ROBERT BENZIE AND TANYA TALAGA) never bothered to follow up their own story on Liberal liar Brad Duguid's deceptions! The Star even endorsed the Liberals during the Oct. 2014 provincial election campaign...]

Why didn't Bentley address his colleague Duguid's (false) statements?

We have learned, thanks to Parker Gallant, that the Liberals were planning a land swap and planning a replacement plant in 2010, even while Liberal Liar Brad Duguid was telling the Toronto Star the complete opposite!

Why doesn't someone ask Bentley, why is it that Ontario now (supposedly) does need the power from Bath, yet, Ontario (supposedly) didn't need the power a scant two years ago, from Oakville?!
Yet, here we have Bentley, on Nov. 3, 2012, clearly telling us that BOTH plants WERE going to be relocated!!

Is the power from the Bath plant actually needed? Where is it needed? Based on what?

Duguid had told us in 2010 that all the (naturally expensive) projections which McGuinty's government had made (which led to the Grits approving the Oakville and Mississauga sites in the first place) were thrown out the window because 'things changed'!

So, what has 'changed' again??!

Did something mysteriously 'change' again, which necessitated Bentley's Liberals to move the cancelled-Oakville plant to Bath, and the cancelled-Mississauga plant to Sarnia?
Duguid had clearly stated that Ontario did not need the power!

So, was Oakville swapped for Bath (in other words, was Bath 'given' to TCE ) not because the province still did need the power (despite Duguid's claim to the contrary), but, so that McGuinty's Liberals would not be on the hook for the entire 'lost-opportunity-cost' to TCE of the Oakville-cancellation (had the Oakville site been just cancelled outright, and not moved), and, specifically so that 'no cheques' would be written??

Was the reason to swap Oakville for Bath based on Ontario actually needing the power (...which Duguid said we didn't need..!!!) or was the swap made because McGuinty did not want the optics of the public seeing a cheque issued to TCE, which would be an admission of McGuinty's energy-policy incompetence. (...an incompetence of such magnitude that it directly led to a cornered McGuinty's resignation.)

Bentley claims in his Nov.3 Post letter that his Liberals have 'always been clear about the total cost of the relocation' of both plants.

Yet, Bentley eludes giving an answer to why the plants were relocated in the first place, seeing that Brad Duguid told us in 2010 that Ontario didn't need the power!!

And Brad Duguid also specifically said that the cancelled Oakville plant was NOT going to be relocated anywhere else in Ontario!! Why is Bentley misleading us in his own letter?!

Apparently Bentley can now say whatever he wants in the Post, just as Duguid spouted whatever the hell he wanted to in the Star. One or both of these Liberal GreenFear-pushers is/was lying.

The point is, that the venue for all this, where all this information was to have been publicly aired and settled, was supposed to be at the Legislative inquiry which was set to start its hearings at Queen's Park on Oct.24. Bentley's disgusting Liberals made sure they weren't going to have to answer questions before the committee - by proroguing Ontario's legislature on Oct.15, 2012!

The act of proroguement itself was an attempt by Bentley's Liberals to subvert justice. Brad Duguid made a show of how he was supposedly oh-so eager to appear before the legislature's hearings - then his Liberals conveniently cancelled them!

Instead of Bentley making his case before the actual hearing, he writes a misleading letter to the editor. What a joke; what an abhorrent Liberal ploy to hide their massive global-warming-paranoia-induced GreenFear energy fiascos.

This all has the makings of a massive political fraud, and really, most of McGuinty's Liberal cabinet should be tried in a criminal court.

{In Keith Leslie's Apr. 3, 2012 Global News report:
"...The Ontario government was hit with a $300-million suit filed last week by the financiers of a cancelled natural-gas plant in Mississauga that the Liberals shut down in the middle of last fall’s election campaign.

A giant electrical transformer was delivered to the site of the cancelled gas plant Monday, and the opposition revealed Tuesday that the Ministry of Energy has rented a 18,500 square metre (200,000 square foot) warehouse nearby.

Bentley said the transformer was merely being stored on the site until a new location for the power plant is found.

“There was some equipment that was procured before construction was stopped,” he said.

“It needs a place to go, so some of it’s being stored on the site, but there’s no new construction proceeding..."  Yes: a "new location" for a power plant which previous Liberal liars said was NOT NEEDED!!}

Hopefully, Wendy Metcalfe's clique of St.Catharines Standard Wrong-Righters, will not have the time to ask their Liberal buddy MPP Jim Bradley (... he's just Ontario's Environment Minister - - - what could he know about any of this..!?) about how Duguid's and Bentley's Expensive Green Energy Experiments, which led to McGuinty's pathetic resignation, were based on, aided, and abetted, by Bradley's own Liberal GreenFear ideology.

Wendy's Wrong-Righters won't even ask their greenshevik idol Liberal Jim Bradley to go on record confirming his belief ...(as New York's Michael Bloomberg also believes; and laughable Liberal global-warming fearmonger MP Kirsty Duncan...) that Hurricane Sandy was caused by man.

GreenFear pushing climatalarmists keep pushing their unsubstantiated delusions, which conveniently conflate events such as Hurricane Sandy {...or Katrina, or "....fill-in-the-blank..."}with man-made climate change.
We saw this again at Rex Tillerson's Jan. 10, 2017 confirmation hearing, where some protester began shouting that her home was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy - the intended (though in reality unfounded) implication being that man (...personified in this protester's mind into being Tillerson himself..!) caused the climate to change, thereby causing Hurricane Sandy, thereby destroying her house. It's that simple, y'see.
This is the kind of delusional link, the kind of tenuous, conflated innuendo, that green bolsheviks - such as Jim Bradley's and Justin Trudeau's Liberals - love to encourage, love to see, love to foment.
They revel in seeing their pathetic work unfold in this kind of spectacle - this is is their kind of GreenFear at work. This green cancer is in Canada, and in the States.

Also on Jan 10 2017, Canada had to endure another visit from another deluded global-warming-infected stooge, this time, from the limousine lefty Hanoi Jane Fonda, the Viet-Cong-Commie-hugger who happily posed with the VC's on an anti-aircraft gun, the same guns which the NVA used to kill Americans. Jane Fonda made a fortune proudly peddling her anti-American "Fuck The Army" mantra. She went to North Vietnam to support the Communist enemy, to show the dumb folks back home her creds as a commie supporter.

Fonda flew (yes, flew - on a green helicopter powered by unicorn-farts --- no hypocrisy here, ever...) over Fort McMurray in Alberta, then immediately made a baseless link by announcing matter-of-factly (as a psychopath might) that the fire was "part of global warming"!!

So, there ya go, folks:y'see? It's "all settled"! More Fake News fodder for the Disciples of Al Gore and David Suzuki: climate-change caused the Fort McMurray fire, according to the GreenFear Gospel delusions of Learned Climatologist Jane Fonda!

Despite what Hanoi Jane spouts, Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist, David Phillips, has never stated that the Fort McMurray fire was caused by 'climate change'. (Maybe Jane Fonda can get Canada's Cagey Climatologist to once and for all  'prove that climate change is man- made'!!! That'd be funny.) Where-oh-where does Hanoi Jane get her scripted 'facts'?!! You might wonder how some people become so deluded, so detached from reality.

What can you expect from pathetic multi-millionaires who dish out their scornful doses of leftism to the dumb proles?! Hanoi Jane brushed past a female protester (a protester, by the way, who was not a happy Fonda fan) patronizingly telling the protester that "I am not against you" - while in fact, Hanoi Jane WAS against her, and against the people of Fort McMurray. Fonda was there on a 'higher' mission, as a GreenFear-spouting stooge.
Fonda should be nominated for a GreenFear Oscar for her amazing Fort McMurray performance, for her phony act, as she patronized the local yokels with her phony 'care' - all the while, her agenda  was to shill for the Greenpeace/Agenda 21 globalists who despise the mere existence of Fort McMurray f If Fonda can act as a willing propagandist for the Black Panthers, she can act as a useful idiot shilling for the 'Club of Rome' too.
It was amazing to see Fonda performing her Fort McMurray 'compassion' act - phony compassion from a person who had proudly named her own child with father Tom Hayden,'after a Viet Cong martyr who attempted to assassinate US defense secretary Robert McNamara, before wisely changing it to Troy".

That's the kind of deplorable mentality which touched down in Fort McMurray.

 (Isn't it hilarious, by the way, how Wikipedia's lengthy page about Jane Fonda DOESN'T MENTION that Fonda's infatuation with Viet Cong Communists led to her naming a child after an assassin? Wikipedia just says this:

 "Their son, Troy O'Donovan Garity, was born on July 7, 1973 in Los Angeles, and was given his paternal grandmother's maiden name, as the names "Fonda and Hayden carried too much baggage". Fonda and Hayden wanted to give their son a name that "was both American and Vietnamese" and chose "Troy", an Anglicization of the Vietnamese "Troi", as the only name they could think of meeting that requirement. Hayden chose O'Donovan as the middle name after Irish revolutionary Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa." 

 Amazing how Wikipedia's Jane Fonda page simply avoids (covers up) any further details explaining Fonda's 'Anglicization of Troi" - such as that name was chosen to lionize and honour an enemy of the US who tried to kill an American defense secretary!

But, Wikipedia's page on Nguyen Van Troi DOES state that:

"Anti-war activists Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden named their son, an actor now known as Troy Garity, in honor of Trỗi."

Then we look at Troy Garity's Wikipedia page, which states:

"Troy Garity was born Troi O’Donovan Garity Hayden... ... His parents named him for the Vietnamese resistance leader Nguyen Van Troi"

Funny at how the information is skewed here - reading this deceptive spin, we are led to believe that Jane Fonda lovingly named her son after a simple, benign, well-meaning friendly ole "resistance leader" y'see - not after an assassin who attempted to kill Americans Robert McNamara and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.
