Minister Cassy O'Connor can be likened to a kettle calling the pot BLACK with her outrageous assertions about "megaphone politics." Really, not to put too fine a point on it, and excuse the mixed metaphors here, if its good enough for the goose its good enough for the gander!
The story in today's Examiner points to not only the Minister's recalcitrance but also her propensity to spout bureau babble. One week she can see her way to providing the required funding and the next ... oh my goodness we cannot do that now. AND that is despite all the sense there is in doing so. That is financial sense let alone anything to do with the care of the disabled.
If we were talking about an endangered spotted tree frog you can bet Minister O'Connor would have her megaphone out and that she'd be shouting SHAME SHAME SHAME into it. If you cannot see any sense in any of this it is quite likely to be because there is none to be found.
NOW if you really want confirmation of how senseless and depressing this whole episode is read today's contribution to the saga n today's Examiner.

This whole affair becomes more and more outrageous by the minute ... Cassy, Megaphone diplomacy indeed. Let's not forget how you used it! I voted GREEN and now I'm very very very sorry that I did. I thought that these people would care and it seems that not only that they care more about being in government than they do for people. Except for Kim that is, he cares and so far has stuck to his guns. AND Cassy your economics teacher turns out to be oh so right and you are an economics dill to boot. Lift your game!
