TORONTO – In response to an ongoing police investigation into the cancellation of two gas power plant costing $1.1 billion, a former high ranking staffers within the Premier’s office claimed that the unintentionally hit the delete button on all communication related to the affair.
“It was one of those bad days” said former chief-of-staff to Dalton McGuinty, David Livingston in an affidavit reflecting on how thousands of sensitive documents were suddenly wiped clean. “One unintentional error after another, the ‘delete’ button was repeatedly pressed on communication between the power plant contractors, the premier and myself. After realizing what I did, I tried to get help from my friend, Peter Faist, who is good with computers and the delete button.”
Both Livingston and Faist tried to recover the previously deleted emails by deleting more of them. The the pair tried to recover the information by removing the motherboard from the computers, but then Faist unintentionally dropped them onto the floor and Livingston inadvertently smashed them with a baseball bat.
Livingston’s lawyer is arguing his client suffers from what psychologist call “Three Stooges” syndrome, which causes his client to do the opposite of what he intends to do despite his best intentions.
At press time, Premier Kathleen Wynne was denying ever knowing or seeing one Dalton McGuinty.
