An OPP search warrant makes allegations about an apparent cover-up at Queen’s Park in the form of the erasure of hard-drives in the office of Premier McGuinty. It happened in the days during which Premier Kathleen Wynne took office. Mr. McGuinty resigned last year in the face of mounting anger over the cost of the cancellation of a power plant project in the middle of construction. The Legislature heard the stunning news this morning and Opposition members were seemingly outraged. OPP are alleging that Mr. McGuinty’s last chief of staff authorized a deputy to get what the Star’s Rob Ferguson calls an “IT-savvy boyfriend unrestricted access to 24 employees’ computers in the premier’s office before and after Kathleen Wynne took power.” The impact of this revelation is being weighed moment by moment on the Twitter search #ONpoli (Ontario politics) with reporters wondering if it means an imminent election. Many of the tweets demand that the premier resign. A tweet by Christopher Gardner says the Premier has been seen climbing down a rope ladder and sprinting across the south lawn of the Legislature Building. Not to be taken seriously. But below, is Lorrie Goldstein’s tweet on this story. It begins “Kaboom!” Toronto Star Ottawa Citizen #ONpoli
