Whaddaya think this is?

A democracy?
Premier Dalton McGuinty is defending his government’s invite-only consultations on a new poverty strategy after people were thrown out of the first meeting.

McGuinty says the government wants to meet with selected groups behind closed doors to hear their ideas for dealing with poverty.

He says there are lots of ways for people to give government their opinions on poverty without attending the public consultations.
