OTTAWA -- The federal government has stockpiled 14.5 million doses of the anti-viral drug Tamiflu for provincial use, with Quebec receiving well over half while Ontario got a token amount, Sun Media has learned. [. . . . ]

"ethically entitled to the entitlements"

Greg Weston: on David Dingwall, Andre Ouellet

Of course, it means nothing that Auditor General Sheila Fraser discovered Canada Post, VIA Rail and other Crown corporations were up to their chequebooks in the Adscam fiasco, laundering millions of dollars into all manner of dubious sponsorship deals.

Who cares? It's not our money.

Mr. Dingwall appears convinced he is "entitled" and that is the problem with those who have been at the trough at the top of the government team. There are good, decent legislators on the back benches who are appalled at this sense of entitlement. Could that have anything to do with their not rising in the government hierarchy to exalted positions? Why doesn't the MSM investigate what they have to say?

John Ivison and Don Martin assess Mr. Dingwall's performance somewhat differently in their articles in the National Post today.




Canadian "Journalism"

Lorne Gunter: Could the Star and Travers be up to their old Liberal-saving tricks? Oct. 19, 05

[. . . . ] That would be true, if it were true. But read the column carefully. It is written in the style of a news story, presumably to give it the appearance of objective fact, rather than merely the writer's opinions. Yet Travers never once cites a source. What he is claiming to know is confidential, "secret" even. Who told him? There is not so much as a "sources close to Judge Gomery have revealed," or even the ubiquitous "Ottawa insiders claim." [. . . . ]

Read the last paragraph of the article. That's how it's done.
