Hard For Provincial Matters To Cut Thru The Federal Din, BUT!

Lottogate. It shouldn't just get swept under the rug. I know the Ontario government would love it to, but there a far too many unanswered questions. Ontario PC leader John Tory appeared on CTV yesterday to announce his intentions to call for a formal inquiry before the legislature.

Video can be seen HERE.

It is not likely that Tory's motion will pass in the legislature but he said the issue is not dead.

Tory believes the questions surround OLG will reappear during the provincial election campaign in October.

It's not enough, at this point, for an Ombudsman's report and recommendations when there are clear indications that these types of activities have been going on for as long as it has and as widespread as it seems.

Earlier this month, a senior claimed to have been defrauded of $12.5 million.

Video on that one is here.

Revisiting JJ gives us another indication that this can't go away... ESPECIALLY with the Colby Cosh snippet.

An inquiry may still happen, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hopefully Tory is smart enough to make this an issue in the coming election and show case it as an example of problems in queen's park.
