Ideology and statistics

Come to think of it, just don't mix anything with Stockwell Day.

And on that note, let me share yet another rant-worthy link:

Treasury Board President Stockwell Day said he'd consider removing the veritable gag on federal public servants that's been in place since the Conservatives introduced a potent messaging tool called the Message Event Proposal four years ago.

The concentration of power in the Prime Minister's Office didn't start with our beloved PC's, but they certainly have elevated it to new and gawdawful heights. So nice of Mr. Day to admit that he might *consider* toning it back a bit! Fat chance, when he also is barely allowed to open his mouth in public (although in his case, perhaps rightfully so. )
