As the Conservatives continue to replace people in the civil service, RCMP, military, various bureaucracies, and so on, all of which have been totally stacked from top to bottom with liberals over the years, I suggest they continue to look outside the regular pool of liberals or the people who deliver their pizza and lap dance for them. For example, as I suggested once before in a feature-length column, the new Minister of Defence (which we will get) should be appointed from completely outside politics. Choose a non-MP.
Career bureaucrat named commissioner of troubled RCMP
OTTAWA (CP) – The Harper government has taken the extraordinary step of going outside the scandal-plagued RCMP in choosing its new commissioner of the Mounties.
On May 3, ‘07, I said (among too many other words):
…A veteran CTV politics reporter-turned-analyst, Craig Oliver, said the other day on TV that Canada is at war, and ought to have a “war cabinet” and we ought to get serious about this war. After I fell off my chair and got up again, I found that I of course agreed. What he left out of course was that “we” ought to start “getting serious” by covering the issues fairly and fully in the media, and also that it wouldn’t hurt “us” to zip the liberal politicians’ mouths shut until they can act responsibly and stop endangering the morale and therefore the safety and effectiveness of our fighting troops in deadly serious combat—or at least call them on it. Again with the personal/media responsibility, huh? I know: forget it—too radical.
Let’s follow that up by breaking tradition and appointing a new full-time Defence Minister from the outside —not an MP who has to correspond with Betty Six-Pack from Okanokie about her pot-holes and who has to deal with the petty badgering and soapbox blather of mendacious liberals who make a sport of lying and deceiving Canadians for their greedy self interests and political power for hours every day in the House of Commons…
