Now Off To The Achieves To Prove Myself Wrong
I endorse this Prairie Topiary post, which is very well thought out and well argued.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe I said nada regarding the donations last week and while I won't play historical revisionist suggesting that it was a premeditated decision on my part, maybe it was a reflection of how little the issue riled me up. And people who know me know just low a threshold it takes to rile me up.
I suppose eyebrows are raised because the organizations in question are owned by and accountable to Manitobans, and because two of them (MLC and MLCC) pour their revenues directly into those of the government. But are the donations in question unreasonable or inappropriate?

The opposition might have had a point if the sums being given were so huge as to threaten the financial well-being of the crowns in question or to risk putting the government in a deficit position, but the donations are entirely appropriate and reasonable.
