Public Works(?)
Well this damn near floored me when I read it this morning. Sheila Copps had something nice to say about Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.
I really think that no matter what political stripe you are, you have to be disgusted with what's happening in the Public Works department. This "culture of entitlement" is sickening to anyone who pays taxes.
Now, I don't think the solution is more bureaucracy or another oversight board. What needs to happen is almost a complete upheaval of the entire department. It needs to be torn down to the bare essentials and then rebuilt in a more responsible and accountable fashion. This was priority for the Conservatives during the election. Now, frankly I don't believe that 7 or 8 months is long enough to root the problems in that department (or the rest of the government) but we should hopefully be seeing something happening soon. It'll be a long haul but if they can get it done, as Sheila says "he will accomplish what many before have tried with little success."
Also:
The Globe & Mail has a great article on the CF's mission in the Arctic.
And DazzlinDino over at BPofC has selected a few bloggers he'd like to see in Cabinet positions, check it out and the BPofC's policy platform (now if only they were a real party).
