On Wednesday, Ontario’s Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake released his findings after spending three months probing potential wrongdoing in a process that led to Mr. Ford’s friend – Toronto Police Superintendent Ron Taverner – being hired as the next OPP commissioner

Mr. Wake ruled there is no evidence that the Premier broke any rules in terms of shaping last fall’s hiring process, which involved a panel comprising career civil servants and an outside executive search firm.

After conducting 21 interviews and reviewing more than 35,000 records relating to the OPP hire, Mr. Wake in his report also detailed a series of communications between Dean French, the Premier’s chief of staff, and Steve Orsini, the province’s then-chief bureaucrat, who appeared to break ranks over the OPP hire of Supt. Taverner as he resigned last December.

The Integrity Commissioner wrote that such an inquiry might be a worthwhile idea, given the limited scope of his office. “A public inquiry may be useful as a postmortem exercise where there are not the same live issues outstanding as there were here,” Mr. Wake wrote.The Opposition NDP, which continues its own calls for a public inquiry, says the Integrity Commissioner’s report reveals a “very disturbing situation.

Revealed in the Integrity Commissioner’s report is a series of electronic messages about Supt. Taverner that Mr. Orsini exchanged with Mr. French before, during and after the selection process for the OPP commissioner.

HOW THE FUCK CAN THE PROCESS BE CORRUPT BUT “NOT CROSS THE LINE” THEREFORE THERE IS NO INTENTION TO FIX AND HOLD OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE THEN ALL FUCKING POLITICS IS CORRUPT AND NOT FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!

Bull manure.

Yes it was rigged. But it remained just so very, very close to the formal definitions in the Member's Integrity Act that it didn't cross the threshold of the Act. Nonetheless it remains corrupt and unethical.
