TheCostOfEverything
TheValueOfNothingVille
I'm pretty sure all concerned are thinking they've passed through the spokes of the spinning newscycle wheel pretty much unscathed*...
Because today there is, essentially, nothing in the public prints.
Official lines bought?
Evasions ignored?
Public bamboozlement complete?
Maybe....
In the meantime, Paul Sullivan had a take not dissimilar to ours in the Metro newsish-thingy yesterday, right down to the three dot trail usage:
So …
What’s going on here? Is there a secret land deal? Does Stephen Harper like Newfoundland better than Vancouver? Why is the H(arper) G(overnment) so adamant about saving $700,000 a year, when it thinks nothing of spending anywhere from $75-$150 million for a single fighter jet?
You could buy the entire fleet of coast guard Zodiacs for $150 million and still have enough left over to spend the $1 million needed to transport the prime minister’s bulletproof limo to India, a nation which apparently can’t be trusted to have sufficiently advanced bulletproof technology.
When there are too many explanations, there aren’t any. It is said you can tell a politician is lying when his or her lips move.
On this one, no one’s even stopping to take a breath.
