We live in a funny country.
The Clerk of the Privy Council – Canada’s top federal public servant – posts copies of his speeches to the Internet and broadcasts the fact via Twitter.
Meanwhile, a politician who got elected on a platform of openness, transparency and accountability, wants to charge somebody thousands upon thousands – it started at $10K and has dropped downward – for copies of his public speeches.
And – if that weren’t enough – the politician then bitches publicly about the fact somebody wants copies of his speeches.
Come to think of it, the country isn’t funny.
Some of the people in it are.
Hysterically funny.
