Andre Marin the Ombudsman of Ontario has been given a 6 month extension of his position as the head of the Ombudsmans office. His contract ended in March and the government is taking applications and is interviewing for the position. Andre Marin has shown that he can fullfil his position of Ombudsman and has done a great job showing mistakes that the ogvernment agengies are making. He also introduced the Sunshine Law that makes Muncipalities accountable for what is discussed behind closed doors at Municipal council meetings. He has also requested to be given the authority from the government to introduce the MUSH progam and investigate further agencies that are able to run without any accountablitiy or transparency. MUSH stands for MUNICIPALITIES,UNIVERSITIES,SCHOOL BOARDS and UNIVERSITIES. A petition has been started to voice taxpayers concern, that we want this watch dog that does such a good job to be reapointed.
WE,THE UNDERSIGNED,CALL ON THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT TO REAPPOINT ANDRE MARIN AS THE OMBUDSMAN FOR THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO FOR ANOTHER TERM.
The petition can be found at the following link.

I think we need more people in key positions who are willing to call a spade a spade and yes, sometimes they might ruffle some feathers in the process.
Remember, democracy tranlates in Greek (originators) to "rule of the people". If we don't have legislaters who put "the people" first, then we don't have democracy.
