Social Security Tribunal patronage bonanza!

The Conservative patronage machine has moved into full flight once again. This time they devised a way to appoint more of their friends and insiders – invent more cushy appointments seats!

Here is but a taste of some of the most egregious appointments Conservatives have made so far to the Social Security Tribunal:

1. Dwayne Provo: failed Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative Candidate in 2006 and 2009
2. Pierre Lafontaine: failed Conservative candidate in Jeanne-Le Ber in 2011
3. Jean-Philippe Payment: failed Conservative Candidate in Terrebonne-Blainville in 2011
4. Claude Durand: failed Conservative candidate in Trois-Rivieres in 2008
5. Alcide Boudreault: failed Conservative candidate in Chicoutimi-Le Fjord in 2004 and 2006
6. Mark Borer: member of the Don Valley West Conservative Party Riding Association
7. Oudit Rai: member of the Durham Conservative Riding Association
8. Dominique M Bellemare: failed Conservative candidate in Beauharnois-Salaberry in 1997, 2008 and 2004
9. Joseph Wamback, Federal Progressive Conservative candidate in York North in 2000

And maybe most notably given the context of his history, Leroy Legere the former Nova Scotia Progressive Conservative Minister of Labour during the Westray mining disaster.

Conservatives once again proving that if there’s an appointment to be made they’re more than happy to put their friends and insiders first.

Canadians deserve better.
