Whistleblowing: Sylvie Therrien

Sylvie Therrien: A courageous risk, Editorial, July 25, according to The Star. There is no right or wrong way for a public servant to whistleblow against corruption either fiscal or ethical because the act of whistleblowing is always right and Re: A courageous risk, Editorial, July 25 I applaud Sylvie Therrien for her courageous, ethical stance and am grateful to her and those like her for their whistleblowing. As an Ontario public servant and a Canadian, I hope that I would have the courage of my own convictions when faced with implementing an unethical and often ruthless may I say stupid? politically-driven decision. It is no secret that politicians will throw public servants to the lions in the blink of an eye and we are scapegoats more often than not. The situation with Therrien is no different. Toronto police have been suspended with pay for years until serious allegations against them have been resolved, but Therrien gets suspended without pay? (www.immigrantscanada.com).
