Political Paranoia
That was a head shaking memo that the Toronto Star got a hold of this week from some disgruntled Liberals at Queens park urging/warning them not to accept any invitations to TIFF events.
The memo was written by the Premiers chief of staff Chris Morley who essentially indicated that it was more important for them to be seen on the the campaigne trail than schmoozing at fancy TIFF receptions. I would suggest that given the world attention that gets focused on Toronto/ONTARIO, the amount of economic activity it generates and the number of jobs it creates – Senior government officials ( cabinet ministers ) and the Premier himself should be front and centre at TIFF showing the Ontario flag and using the opportunity to sell Toronto and Ontario as best they can because at the end of the day – it is about the economy ________!
Unfortunately, those who spend too long in the political bunkers inevitably loose perspective.
