Or at least, our esteemed leader Dalton McGuinty has and, like Elvis, he left by the Back Door.
You dear reader can well imagine that I am not surprised by this cowardly act, but I am most disappointed.
McGuinty, as I have categorized on numerous occasions, has single headedly brought this once Proud Province to its knees. That he now sneaks off into the sunset with his healthy Premier’s Pension in tact, is a slap in the face to all those who put their trust in him.
When the time came for him to face up to his misguided and costly initiatives, he caved.
Some Leader.
Moreover, with his Prorogation of the Legislature, he has effectively neutered the Opposition in its attempts to cast light on his many scandals, most notably the recent one involving the shutting down of the Two Power Plants days prior to the last Election.
The fact is, the Tories and NDP were getting too close on this important file; talk had begun about the need to call in the Cops.
The Voters of this Province, on three separate occasions, voted McGuinty in – so I am not overly concerned about their welfare. They are reaping what they sowed. And the fallout will continue for some time to come, regardless of who becomes the new Lib Leader or which Party wins the next election.
I am just saddened by the fact that the guy who created the mess will not be around to witness, first hand, the extent of the damage.
As I see it …
‘K.D. Galagher’
