After dinging taxpayers for the cost of his high-flying commute from Ottawa to Toronto, Ontario’s fairness commissioner will not get a second term.
“This is an example of the Liberal’s egregious abuse of taxpayer dollars and shows no respect to the hard-working moms and dads who drive or take transit to work every single day and pay their own way,” Premier Doug Ford said in a statement to the Toronto Sun.
For all their chest thumping on this issue, the Ford government is vulnerable to claims of hypocrisy on this issue. Many appointments made by this government have not only gone to friends of those in power — something normal in politics — but have also come with big salary bumps.
The political class, regardless of party, needs to remember that they are in their jobs to serve us, not rob us.
