John Ibbitson, "Ignatieff responds with 'patient hard work' ", Ottawa — From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Last updated on Wednesday, Oct. 07, 2009 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ignatieff-fights-back-with-patient-hard-work/article1314645/Tab 18
Actually, Harper and the Con's muzzling the Parliamentary Budget Officer and slashing his budget is an outrageous affront to openness, transparency, freedom of information that is so fundamental to our Democracy. This is especially true in these economic hard times where the government finances is so important and everyone knowing just what the government is doing is so important.
There is no coincidence between Harper muzzling the Parliamentary Budget Officer and slashing his budget and the continual errors in the estimates on the deficit made by Harper, Flaherty and the Con's or on their delaying on actually spending the funds for the stimulus package or the general mishandling of our finances.
You would think that the Prime Minister of our country would do everything to encourage and allow the Parliamentary Budget Officer to do the best job possible.
Harper, Flaherty and the Con's say they are doing a great job with the country's finances and getting us through the recession and assisting all those who have lost jobs and will lose jobs in the upcoming months. If this is really true then you would think they would do everything possible to encourage and allow the Parliamentary Budget Officer to do the best job possible so everyone can plainly see this for themselves. The fact that they are doing the exact opposite speaks volumes about the kind of job Harper, Flaherty and the Cons are really doing - i.e., so bad they must hide it from the public
John Ibbitson suggests that politically this is madness.
Well everyone in Canada, to a person, should be mad about this. Everyone in Canada should stand up and say, in a single voice, "Mr. Harper, tear down your wall". And, it raises an eyebrow that the media is not joining in.
