I’ve said this for years and every day seems to provide us with another tidbit of proof: The liberals have stacked every facet of this country with liberals—from top to bottom, in the judiciary, academia, media… and of course the massive bureaucracy —and Canada is now manifestly run by liberals. No, not by the duly elected Conservative Party which nonetheless tries.
And while reviewing the latest tidbit, for your hourly taste of liberal media spin, sip on the headline below, which declares that Prime Minister Harper (who is one man elected to lead our land), is described being the one who is at odds with bureaucrats, rather than it being the other way around.
PM at odds with bureaucrats over foreign policy

During a closed-door roundtable with Toronto media, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said his hard line on foreign policy is being undermined by Canadian bureaucrats and diplomats.
The Toronto Star obtained a recording of the prime minister made at a June 15 roundtable with ethnic-Toronto media.
Harper complained at length about the reluctance of public servants to defend his stance on foreign policy, the newspaper reported.
Specifically, Harper’s comments came in response to questions about his 2006 decision to recognize the deaths of about 1.5 million Armenians in Turkey in 1915 as genocide.
“What is not acceptable, and it does happen on occasion, is for a public servant to say, `That may be the position of the elected guys, but that’s not the position of the government,’” Harper said in the meeting.

Harper said it’s difficult for public servants to become accustomed to a new government’s policies when it has defended the previous government’s stance for years.
“That’s difficult for them because they tend to believe in what they’ve been doing,” he said.
“All I can say is this: The way we overcome this is to provide very strong direction.”

(raising the question: why continue to vote for liberals,
thus exacerbating* this problem?)
*Many liberals are now looking up the word exacerbating because they’re hoping it’s some new sex move. It’s not, and therefore I’ll be at odds with them. See?
