PHOTO: Sorbara is leaving cabinet to join Dancing with the Stars. He previewed his moves last month for the audience at the Mississauga Matters provincial election debate at City Hall.
Greg Sorbara, who has been finance minister under Premier Dalton McGuinty since 2003 (except for that time while under investigation by the RCMP, which eventually found nothing wrong with Sorbara) doesn't want a cabinet post.
Instead, he wants to spend time hanging out with his family, which, apparently, is much more interesting than writing budgets.
What does all of this mean to Mississauga? It means there's another opening for one of our guys to slip into. After working for Royal Bank for many years, Mississauga South rookie MPP Charles Sousa has extensive experience dealing with money. Plus, he seems to have a little bit of it himself - have I mentioned he wears gorgeous cufflinks? Indeed I have, here and here. Let's just hope Sousa's family isn't as interesting as Sorbara's.
