For a bit a perspective, see here (sorry, couldn't copy-paste chart information): http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repor...rticle4243534/
You make it sound like the Premier is the boss of tens of thousands of employees and can do whatever she wants with revenues of 40 billion per year. I think you're exaggerating the Premier's overall importance and power in this province.

Its not like she's Fred Mannix and can walk up to one of his employees and say: "You're fired!"... and the guy is toast. In fact I suspect there are very few people that the Premier can do that to.
