Gomery the Second? (Updated)
I am reliably informed that the new Ontario government may well launch an inquiry into the fees paid, here, to a certain Wizard and an allied “speechwriting” firm, and a particular “interim management” outfit, as well.
My goodness gracious, wouldn’t that be a bit of schadenfreude?

UPDATE: Oh, look. And here’s an Order Paper question filed up in Ottawa, just this week. Have a nice day, Mr. Goodale, et al.
These numbers are astounding. Nobody — and I mean NOBODY — should ever be making that much money off Government. Ever. It’s just straight up _____ and both the recipient and the person(s) who approved such preposterous fees should be ______.
They might, especially considering the Gomery inquiry helped bring down the Martin government. I somehow doubt your old boss would have called it, he would have just turned everything over to the RCMP handle and let it go from there.
Ford might as well get ahead of the game. He will screw up much more than that.

Just donors ingratiating themselves with the presumptive new government.
