shortlived Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 Did he get another job in the public service. I think it may be more correct, he was a public servant. I applaud him, more stooges should speak out against faulty government reasoning including opposition MPs you state should. but *gasp* perhaps its not in opposition MPs interest to raise red flags for machavellian or personal inclinations. So what is the public left to be devoured? Or should they be given a sign of warning? Quote My posts are sometimes edited to create spelling errors if you see one kindly notify me.

eyeball Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Page ruined a good idea. Which was quite likely the whole point of the exercise. Quote I said now watch what you say they'll be calling you a radical, a liberal, oh fanatical criminal
August1991 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Page was a fool. The job was supposed to be investigating and reporting to parliament, but he became a media whore. I saw him on TV talk shows contradicting the government more often than the opposition. That's not his job. He provides the information to parliament. THEY, meaning the opposition, can then go on TV and criticize the government with it. I would say the next PBO should be someone who is media shy and doesn't want to be anywhere near a camera. I agree that Page was a fool. But Page moved the public debate in the direction Harper wanted. The knee-jerk, anti-Harper CBC is doing Harper's job for him. Because of Page, Harper is more re-electable. ---- Argus, you work in Ottawa. I bet that Harper appoints you as the next PBO. Why not? You'd criticise Harper, and shift the public debate. Page ruined a good idea. Au contraire. Edited March 12, 2013 by August1991 Quote
