Brooke, it’s your lucky day!
Brooke MacMillan resigns as Richard Brown’s deputy, immediately applies for PNP free-money, jumps a 12 month approval queue and gets appointed as CEO of the PEI Liquor Commission all in one day.
Why does it take so long to look at the needs of Islanders with disabilities?
Statistics Canada told us 4 years ago and in June 2008: there are 4,000 Islanders with disabilities who need a wheelchair, scooter, glasses, hearing aids and other assistive devices for the disabled. How can the Premier decide so quick with one of his drinking and poker playing buddies and take so long with those in real need.
This is obviously a conflict of interest, breach of trust and out right fraud that the Premier can’t send it to the tame Conflict of Interest Commissioner. Does Robert Ghiz live in la-la land? Islanders know he is lying and don’t trust him one bit.
Muffy, Premier Ghiz's dog, can't believe her ears how lucky Brooke MacMillan is
The Guardian reports – if you can believe it -
“We received a number of complaints from the accounting firms and the businesses, thinking it was unfair that they were cut off from this program without notice.”
So they opened it up again between Aug. 5 and 6th “to give them proper notice and proper closure,” Brown said.
Richard, you’re such a liar with your cotton candy story.
Oh and that just happens to be the day Brooke was planning on retiring and then the Premier said to his dog
“Muffy I know just the right man to keep a lid on all those bottles at the Liquor Commission.”
Good story Theresa.
Richard Brown stalls, weeps and blows hot air

Yesterday at the Public Accounts Hearing into the Liberal Immigrant Scam, Minister of Innovation Richard Brown put on his best performance in ages. Theresa Wright did OK coverage in the Guardian but her best story of the day was yet to come. CBC could have called their coverage from a beach in Florida.
He cried crocodile tears which was almost Academy Award material. He droned on for over an hour with a surprisingly informative survey of the Immigrant Investment program from the early 90’s. I’d give him a B. Better grades when he openly talks about the political manipulation of the program from the beginning. Funny how he forgot everything he told me in the past about the program. Must be the lights in the meeting room.
When Jim Bagnall mentioned phone calls from immigrants saying they were asked to pay bribes by the interviewers in China and Dubai, he rose to great rhetorical heights taking the question as an affront to 3.500 civil servants. Why? Were the ones on the junket splitting the profits with the whole civil service when they got back to PEI?
