VOCO Updates
Even in the current climate of political corruption and scandals, Dalton McGuinty's record of lies and broken promises is remarkable. Here is why we have chosen these as his "top 3 lies"
- To respect local democracy
If politicians are allowed to ignore the ballot box, democracy is dead.
- To fund autistic services
In this case, McGuinty is appealing a court decision which would have implemented his written promise.
- Taxpayers protection act
Having broken his promise, and violated the Taxpayer Protection Act, McGuinty has also now achieved a court precedent: it is not the role of the courts to intervene to enforce promises and pledges. Our only recourse is the ballot box (see #1). If there are no consequences for those who lie to get elected, how can the public make an informed choice?
