B.I.G. Deal

BORDER CZAR ANNOUNCEMENT COMING. CKLW reported that Premier Dalton McGuinty is to visit Windsor to announce who will be the special advisor on border issues. Former City of Windsor senior manager Steve Salmons is to head up a border office in Windsor. That office is to be part of the announcement.

This must be a BIG announcement since the Premier is coming here. Clearly, the Premier is concerned about Windsor's BIG problems. Why he stated only 5 months ago on April 19th, 2005, in a speech in Washington D.C., "his intention to create a new Border Implementation Group to oversee the important upcoming phase of border improvements. The chair of this blue ribbon task force will be appointed shortly and will report directly to the Premier."

BIG deal!

Another way to pretend to be doing something when doing nothing.

Steve Salmons must be pleased. Back in 2004, a Star headline stated "Demoted manager quits post." Three weeks after he left as CEO of the Windsor Public Library, he was hired as a senior policy adviser with the Management Board of Cabinet. And now he is back in Windsor to work with his former bosses.

Who said McGuinty Liberals do not have a sense of humour. I would love to be a fly on the wall at the first BIG meeting between Salmons and his former bosses.
