The PEI government stated when special warrants were approved by executive council in 2022 that they are….”not something government takes lightly.” [See: “P.E.I. approves $37.7M in special warrants for transportation and infrastructure department, August 22, 2022].
“‘It’s a trend that is going in the wrong direction, I think,” said Noonan. ‘The Treasury Board policy says that special warrants are to be used as a last resort … sometimes it’s just to cover cost overruns within departments, which comes down to managing your financial resources.'”
It appears the legacy media no longer report this spend-thrifting-rampaging-news any more, from what I can see: multiple searches found nothing with either CBC or the Guardian, but I may have missed it.
You’d think they’d be interested in reporting this kind of news, but they’re very sick lately and I think possibly even dying, so I guess I can’t really fault them, especially given the fact that if they disappeared from the planet yesterday, it would still not be soon enough for me.
He’ll be gone before too much long you can bet on that…you know what they say, “when the going gets tough, the tough get going, and cowards and crooks get out of town.”
