See Smitherman leave Difficile Health portfolio
While the Toronto Sun is busy savaging Dalton McGuinty for not allowing Ombudsman Andre Marin to investigate hospitals among other areas, we learn today that Health Minister George Smitherman is being moved to a power portfolio of Energy and Infrastructure.
David Caplan of Lottogate fame is taking over Health. McGuinty obviously has no concerns about gambling with the health of Ontario citizens.

Every time I hear Smitherman’s name mentioned I can’t help but think he should have been named Dick rather then George!
But you title line really makes that connection for me!

Yeah, afterwards I thought of all kinds of even better titles, but with that one I was trying to do a bit of a play on words with the ‘C Difficile’ crisis going on.
Anyway, I’m back from Wonderland with my brains thoroughly rattled by their latest roller-coaster.
It’ll be even more difficult for me to put out a coherent post tomorrow.
