The ORNGE AFFAIR .... this reporter says there is a lesson to be learned but it appears that the responsible parties are going to require constant investigation and supervision to hold them to the standards they proclaim . Still they don't take matters seriously .

This is an interesting article about ORNGE that was in the Toronto Star today.


The continued work of these Investigative reporters , should be applauded. Investigative reporters serve a vital role for when checks and balances fail and only deaf ears prevail .
