An anonymous letter alerted authorities to a large-scale fraud committed by a manager at the Ministry of Community and Social Services office in Sault Ste. Marie, a judge heard Tuesday.
The letter triggered an investigation that discovered Salvatore Cuglietta had bilked the provincial government of nearly $600,000 over a 12-year-period.
During that period, the accused was a manager at the local office, where he administered a number of programs, including the Ontario Disability Support Program.
Cuglietta created a false client claim under the disability program, paid out funds to the false female client and deposited the money in a bank account, Crown attorney Glen Wasyliniuk said.
The payments included $208,000 basic income, $137,000 for accommodation, $54,000 for medical supplies, $94,000 for house repairs, and $82,000 for medical transportation.

In my experience, it is beneath my dignity to even attempt to justify anything to these animals. That's why I am not nor will I ever again be on this inherently degrading system.
Someone who commented here on this blog who has a different one theorized that the government is attempting a "slow genocide" on the population, I feel this is accurate.
We need someone like Gordon Ramsay to come to Canada and do a Government Makeover and yell at these tyrants at what an incompetent joke they are.
If Canada was a restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares, it would be like Dillon's from Season 1. A horrendous joke.
