Well said Jerry. You are one of the few in mainstream media who speaks up for tax payers and dares to tell the truth. Everyone knows about the rampant waste, fraud & theft in every sector of every gov't - municipal, provincial and federal - but there is an emtrenched conspiracy of silence. Union members and leaders will never blow the whistle. Relatives of those union members who depend on that paycheque to survive won't. Management won't point out the obvious because they too are part of the bloated bureaucracy & might lose their jobs if they admitted they were redundant, incompetent or superfluous. Of course, each of these conspirators knows where all the bodies are buried, so the blackmail continues. Corruption has managed to infiltrate every single area, growing unchecked like fungus. Nowhere is it more rampant than at the top. The captain of this sinking ship in Ontario, McSquinty himself, in collusion with the unions, bribes them all with tax dollars in order to keep getting re-elected so the self serving, self fulfilling prophecy keeps snaking its way down this insidious and incestuous path, unable to hide its dark underbelly. But its days are numbered. Because bankruptcy is inevitable - ultimately killing the beast itself when there is nothing left for it to feast upon. When there is nothing left, when the economy flat lines.

Start protecting whistle blowers and we might get somewhere. Will you ever hear Jerry critize Harper for secrecy and crushing leakers no.
