Wanted: A friendly lapdog to be the new Parliamentary Budget Officer
|
26.4.2013 |
rabble.ca - News for the rest of us |
| For the Conservatives, the gloves are off when it comes to Kevin Page, the very recently departed Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO).
While Page still had the job, the Conservatives held themselves back, a bit. They didn't openly say the PBO was a partisan and favoured the opposition.
That's their line now.
The Prime Minister used that line on Wednesday, when asked about the Federal Court decision on the PBO's request for information the government refused to share with him.

Is the Press Too Big to Fail? It’s Dumb Journalism, Stupid
|
25.4.2013 |
Commondreams.org Views |
Everyone knows this story, though fewer and fewer read it on paper. There are barely enough pages left to wrap fish. The second paper in town has shut down. Sometimes the daily delivers only three days a week. Advertising long ago started fleeing to Craigslist and Internet points south. Subscriptions are dwindling. Online versions don’t bring in much ad revenue. Who can avoid the obvious, if little covered question: Is the press too big to fail? Or was it failing long before it began to falter financially?![]() read more |
