From Christina Blizzard's most recent Sun Media column:

"When McGuinty became premier, the Ipperwash inquiry became yet another way to discredit the previous government. That's too bad, because this shouldn't be about politics. It's about a terrible tragedy, and how we can avoid anything like this from happening again. "

This is a pretty irrational assertion. Should the inquiry not have been called? Should McGuinty have waited to be replaced by a Conservative government before an inquiry could happen? She means niether thing, I'm sure. Just needs to think things through.

The issue was politicized when the PC government acted out of schocking partisanship by refusing to call it upon themselves. Otherwise, any question of the political capital it carries is a discredit to the process.
