Dion is a verbose, mild-mannered academic with a shaky grasp of English who seems unfit to chair a university department, much less lead a country.

You find my post interesting? Why? And why would you call it an "attack"?

Will you later be accusing me of breaking rules and "attacking" people becuase of a post like the one I made above?

Now THAT is propaganda.

Total garbage. Wonder who's funding that....hmmm?

The same people who said that the CPC would have armed patrols on Canadian city streets. Oops, not the same people funding, but garbage even more so. This may in fact be true.

Phantom Job Probe-Ottawa Citizen Oct.17/06

A senior official confirmed yesterday that the Treasury Board and the Public Service Human Resources Management Agency are examining the issue following recent revelations that two former Liberal aides landed "phantom" jobs that gave them free rides into the public service after they lost their political jobs in the January election.
The Public Service Commission, the watchdog of an impartial, non-partisan public service, uncovered a scheme that created false jobs for two political staffers and immediately revoked the appointments.
The commission found about 100 public servants joined ministers' offices and went back into the public service -- with no break in service -- over 11 years of the previous Liberal government.

The two cases at the centre of the commission's recent probe were bureaucrats who had taken leave without pay to work in ministers' offices as "exempt staff" -- which means they are exempt from the rules governing all bureaucrats under the Public Service Employment Act.

Their jobs had long ago been filled or disappeared and, with the election looming, they arranged for their departments -- Public Works and Health Canada -- to create new positions for them under a special program known within bureaucratic circles as SAPP, or Special Assignment Pay Plan.

The commission's probe found the jobs only existed on paper and the departments had no intention of using them on special assignments as prescribed by the program. Under the program's rules, departments have "quotas" on how many employees they can place under the program. Deputy ministers, who are responsible for staffing in their departments, must approve those jobs. The program has been around for years and hasn't been changed since 1991.

A recent study found 243 ministerial aides used their priority privilege to land in the public service between 1993 and 2004 and one-third went to executive jobs.
Now THAT is propaganda.

We need more "Propaganda" like this brought to the public's attention. ;)

Talk about an investigation also comes at the same time as the appearance of a new website (www.phantomliberals.com) with a melodramatic takeoff on Liberals creating jobs for themselves in the public service and "spooky how this all sounds like another Liberal scandal." The anonymous website was posted by a Texas-based web provider that markets its services for controversial material.
