		<description><![CDATA[The federal government’s treatment of information about the Champlain Bridge is an interesting case study about government communications, bureaucratic (and political) arrogance, and the general contempt held in Ottawa (and Quebec City) for the public. In case you haven’t heard the story, it went down like this: Transport Canada minister Denis Lebel said that he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The undermining of the RCMP as a strong and independent police force continues apace. Leaked documents showing the criteria to be used to select the Commissioner make it clear that the government wants another bureaucrat in place. This is disturbing on several levels.

		<description><![CDATA[To start off with, I want to apologize for my previous post on a story I thought implicated Christiane Ouimet as a lawyer defending an accused rapist.
