It's Bad When ...

I'd say that when Sun Media columnists are complaining loudly about Harper's "transparency" in government, things are in pretty sorry shape in Ottawa.

I've tracked Harper's secrecy for a long time, and it hasn't been a pretty picture.

While I doubt that anyone in Calgary will actually hold the man accountable for his actions (and yes, censoring the living hell out of every document requested is an action for which PMSH is very directly responsible), others in the nation might take note of the fact that two years to release a series of ministerial briefing notes - with by far the vast majority redacted to the point of being meaningless - is not only excessive time, but unreasonable secrecy on the part of a government ostensibly elected to "clean things up" in Ottawa.

It seems to me that Harper is returning to the depths of the Mulroney era in record time, and is digging to find new lows.
