The RailGate Double-Down Shuffle...

AllThePay-OffsThatFit
(not)PremierVille


So.

Why wasn't the report written by the (not)Premier's hand-picked man that was supposed to be about the Basi-Virk Double-Down not actually about the Basi-Virk Double-Down?

Norman Farrell has an excellent post up that explores this subject to devastating effect.

Here is Norman's kicker:

"...The report only helps the Liberal Government change the subject and that will only be successful if mainstream media mouthpieces allow the switch in focus. As Dix pointed out, citizen discomfort was never with policy (regarding indemnification government officials facing trial), it was with failure to follow policy..."


That is a critical point because the report from the good Dr. Toope who, it should be noted in the interest of full disclosure is also nominally my boss, is all about 'the policy' rather than the failure to follow it.

OK?
