Last week, the provincial government's communications gang tweeted a picture, which we have reprinted on the right. It was supposed to show where Premier Dwight Ball is on his little sojourn to tomorrowland that he calls "our fiscal future."
You can see how they have crossed off a whole bunch of milestones on the way along. Supposedly we are now at the "Focus and Refine" stage. Next thing to come is the "Report of Choices" due at some unspecified point in the fall. Notice the diamond-shaped point there called the fall fiscal update.
The Liberals haven't told us when the update will come. First we have to get through this thing on October 11 at which a bunch of hand-picked leaders from various "sectors" of our society will get to see what choices the government has already made for "our fiscal future."
This is "consultation" in GovSpeak. In LibSpeak, it is Transparency, one of the Five Points of the Liberal Plan for Strategic Word Capitalization.
