When Governance Is Paternalistic And Arrogant

Transparency is not exactly Canada's strong suit when it comes to disclosing information to the public. 

Witness the PCB story on the West Island when the PQ, in all their infinite wisdom, thought it proper to not tell the people since the situation wasn't serious. Of course it wasn't, PCB's are not a danger to the public but, hey, why miss a chance to sensationalize in the media?

Yet, despite the overblown situation it didn't prevent the government from giving all sorts of ultimatums to the company which were subsequently ignored. No kidding.

Ugh.

/facepalm.
