What has he done for Trent Hills. It took him a long time to give the CMH foundation two million to continue the planning of the new hospital. No grant for the new bridge. No grant for the replacement of water mains on Trent Island. Suggest he should resign.
This also reflects the tight hold the PCs have had on all messaging, completely controlling the narrative (often paid with our own tax dollars). That the public is unaware is precisely the strategy. The federal leadership vote in January could make things interesting provincially...
Thank you bringing light to this situation locally! Despite the auditor's report being released over a month ago, there has been radio silence from local media....although, that is not much of a surprise given the hold our MPP has on this riding with respect to dissent.
As the poll shows, most people don’t follow provincial politics or the news in general very closely, so I will keep an eye on this because I think it is of interest to local residents. At the very least, this is Piccini’s baptism by fire in terms of taking media heat. It could prepare him for a brighter future or it could mean he’s hit his career ceiling in politics.
Note: The first limerick I submitted to the Star when the scandal first broke. The second I've added in response to yesterday's Art-icle.
The Ford government finds itself in a pickle
Because the A-G in a report chose to stickle
She wanted to know
How it handed out dough
With a system not worth a plugged nickle
David Piccini is the man in the hot seat
Critics say there are ethical standards he didn't meet
He didn't fully disclose
The criteria he chose
So they want the minister sent back to a backseat

Please keep asking the hard questions!!
