The issue as I see it is staged tenders where there is a predetermined outcome. Please explain to me why all light bulbs must be sourced from this one company? As ridiculous as it is that the $100 a month increase in my gas bill is going to installing ####ing light bulbs in every house in Alberta, I can only see that the NDP is starting to publicly show its motivation.
Like mentioned earlier I sure would like to know the connection between this company and the NDP, whether it be contributions or personal. And before you NDP apologists come out to play I would be equally critical of any party in this scenario.
I have lived over seas for a long time and I see first hand how corruption in politics creates a slippery slope. Yet at home there are tell tale signs all of the time and we stick our collective heads in the sand. I can't stand corporate manipulation of public policy and decision making. The government is spending our money, not theirs, yet they talk down to or through us like we should have no say in things.
This is our money people, not the government's. Don't forget that.
