'Significant Number' Of Harper Patronage Appointees Have Offered To Resign: Liberals

But the Prime Minister's Office is refusing to provide even a numerical breakdown, citing privacy concerns for the individuals involved. That's a sharp reversal from earlier this month, when the Liberals said they had sent letters to 33 people who they asserted had been given pre-election appointment renewals by the former Harper government, which they said amounted to an abuse of process. At issue are appointments to boards and tribunals due to expire after the Oct. 19 federal election — some of them many months after the election — but were renewed in advance by the Conservatives before last summer's election call. Out of 33 appointees reported to have received letters from LeBlanc seeking their voluntary resignation, 19 had been re-appointed under good behaviour provisions, meaning they can only be removed with cause. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2015/12/30/liberals-want-some-tory-appointees-grilled-by-mps-say-others-offered-to-quit_n_8895864.html?ncid=fcbklnkcahpmg00000001 Not all are as crappy as the guy who named them. Would you stay where you were not wanted? I guess if that is all you could get to line your pockets.

Tough. Sure they are... they want to get their own Liberal patronage appointments. This isn't about who is qualified or who isn't, or any altruistic behaviour on Trudeau's part, it's simply about replacing people with Liberals.

Not to mention the Liberals making a refugee pledge in order to vilify the CPC and steal the election. A pledge which turns out to be a huge lie – one of the largest liberal con jobs ever. Yup, and it's only just begun :MapleLeaf:

This isn't about who is qualified or who isn't, or any altruistic behaviour on Trudeau's part, it's simply about replacing people with Liberals. The appointments are patronage positions. Of course one picks his supporters. Few qualifications are required, since most only learn enough to fill out an expense claim. Edited by Durgan, Jan 1 2016, 10:52 AM.

Actually, some of them that I know of are very well qualified, if I find the link I'll post it.
