This is absolutely disgusting, and I agree it should be criminal.  But according to the AG, it isn't.  

But guess what?  Ontario voted for this.  Ontario knew the Liberals were totally politically corrupt.  The Liberals already demonstrated they will waste billions of our dollars to buy votes (gas plants etc.).  And we rewarded them with a majority government.  So why wouldn't they just keep doing the same things?  If it isn't illegal, there is no consequences for them.  No one loses their jobs.  No one goes to jail.  No one loses an election.
