The Fog of Stephan Harper’s Government
Yet again, more proof that Stephen Harper’s minority government is doing the exact opposite of what it said it would do. Their “We came to clean up government” mantra is rapidly turning into, “We came to clean up”…
From today’s Montreal Gazette , page A9 (not linkable online because CanWest still doesn’t understand the Internets):
Robert Marleau, the information commissioner of Canada, says that contrary to Harper’s election pledge to make transparency a hallmark of his administration, a “fog over information” has crept across the government’s activities.
Marleau said complaints to the commissioner’s office about lack of access to government information have doubled in the past year.
Brutal. I can’t wait for that springtime election…

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you reduce it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Many thanks!

Just about all of whatever you assert is astonishingly accurate and that makes me wonder why I had not looked at this with this light previously. This piece truly did turn the light on for me as far as this subject goes. Nevertheless there is actually 1 issue I am not too comfy with so while I try to reconcile that with the actual main idea of the issue, let me observe just what all the rest of the subscribers have to point out.Very well done.
