E-health is the government of Ontario's fault. They told the person in charge that this system had to be up and running in a short period of time. They hired a person who had a history of doing what it took to do the job. She had the necessary contacts so the only way to do this is hire consultants that have the expertise in the area one is trying to develop. Unfortunately the economic crash is happening around us, the consultant’s revenues were dramatically decreased, so they started to help themselves to more than they promised and they essentially got their hands caught in the cookie jar. The tendering process is a long and drawn out way of getting the job done. I would have to say that when people complain about the slow moving government, tendering is part of that problem. Tendering is the most fair and cheaper way of completing the job. As far as e-health is concerned it will now take about a year or so longer to complete.

In Toronto the Tamil Tiger supporters held the city's downtown core hostage. It started with human chains extending more than six miles of people estimated to be about five thousand people. Then they started a campaign of demonstrating in fron of the American Consulate which later escalated to closing down a major street and the closing of the Gardener Expressway because the demonstrators rushed it and refused to move for six hours and they were using the women and children as human shields. The police did nothing because the Mayor of Toronto refused to give the order. If it wasn't for the killing of the Tamil Tigers leader in Sri Lanka Toronto would have to deal with a major riot.
