I am appalled at my government's latest announcement.
Crime statistics not accurate, Day suggests
Treasury Board president questions value of census data older than a year
And, of course, there is an axe to grind here. Our PC government promised more prisons. So....
If you don't like the stats, just ignore them? Claim they *must* be inaccurate?
After all, if people voted you in because you claimed to be tough on criminals, why admit you have a declining crime rate? Build the prisons anyway. After all, if you build them, surely they will be populated? 
Oh, and this is the same ideologically driven lot who think that the census is just too damn intrusive and people should not be forced to actually complete and return those forms. Hell no! They really don't want to know what the demographics of the rest of us are, just those who write in and pat them heartily on the back and tell them what good little boys and girls they are.
No, I have no point, other than to rant a bit. Thank y'all for the opportunity!
