1 Billion? Meh, why not a couple hundred million more?

Amid that ongoing scandal that has plagued the governing Liberals in Ontario, news reports out are claiming that another $236 million has been "quietly" put into the ehealth system. The money is being used to provide doctors with electronic records for their patients. The deal itself will only cover 5,700 of Ontario's 23, 000 physicians and will last over the next three years. This deal occurred despite Auditor General Jim McCarter's report showing that for the past 10 years free and loose spending, poor planning and sketchy records have put the electronic records system promised by 2015 into flux.

I'm getting pretty sick of governments in power, especially majority governments abusing their power. At the end of the day we elect representatives to the legislature to fight for our interests, they have a significant amount of control and deal with billions in taxpayers dollars. This entire ehealth scandal is yet another reminder of how a lack of accountability can cause many Ontarians and Canadians as a whole to lose faith in politicians. The lack of accountability by the McGuinty government is inexcusable, while the audacity to continue big spending amid a major recession is slap in the face of all Ontarians. The Liberals may feel they can act now, answer later but tephlon Don, er i mean Premier McGuinty better answer some tough questions quick, before Ontarians bring the heat come next election.
