Quote

Wynne initially reacted to Ford’s charges with ill-considered derision, dismissing it as “sloganeering and bluster” while arguing Schmidt’s salary was comparable to other executives. That’s debatable when Eric Martel, chief executive of Hydro-Quebec, is listed as earning $560,000 this year, but it’s no excuse in any case. Telling voters they have to pay one corporate bigwig a small fortune because that’s what other corporate bigwigs earn is rarely a direct route to their sympathy and support. Ford insists he’d have no trouble replacing Schmidt at a much more modest salary, and voters seem happy to let him give it a try.

As if Schmidt’s existing pay scheme wasn’t enough, reports emerged indicating the board had agreed to award him a protective shield, approving severance of up to $10.7 million should he be fired. Energy Minister Glenn Thibeault admitted he only found out about the change in March, months after it had been approved. 

You would've thought the dolts in Queens Park would've kept 51% controlling interest in Hydro 1? Has there been any explanation as to why the CEO is so overpaid when compared to the heads of the other provincial utilities (especially Quebec's)?

Not even elected yet and you can see the storm develop - going to be fun 

Some people just can't handle not getting their way.  Leftard butthurt is special.

The same idiots that have Wynnebag convinced debt is to be counted as an asset probably also convinced her that 40% gives the province absolute control. Explanation... simple he and the board decide they are woth it and vote to pay themselves that much... the more the CEO makes the more the board can justify raises for themselves.

This is crazy I cant imagine the Province isn't the biggest shareholder, in the broader normal world I have seen shareholders with less than 5% of the companies shares get an entire board replaced :dunno:

You can't expect the provincial Dippers to be any different than the federal candidates. Over the years I've noticed the same ones running at both elections when voting time comes. Sid Ryan is probably pissed that he's not running. He went 0-4 running as a candidate in Oshawa (he lived in Whitby). Twice federally & twice provincially. 

In Durham a lot of their candidates over the years have been UAW/CAW execs that figure the public wants them to represent them in Toronto or Ottawa (insert eye roll). Buckley (current head of the OFL & former Local 222 prez') ran for them federally in 2011.

Then you have this rocket scientist:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/news/canada-election-2015-ndp-hamilton-alex-johnstone-auschwitz-1.3241065

How could anyone in their right mind not have an idea what Auschwitz was?

And then you read the comments on Faceplant," Maybe it's time to give the NDP a chance?" FFS, this isn't a game where we see if Joey can pitch. But what can you expect of a generation where everyone gets a ribbon and celebrating (fill in the blank) regardless as to how innocuous it is, is banned by an over-zealous principal or school board administrator that is afraid of offending or scaring someone whether or not there have been complaints.
