Harper The Micromanager Strikes Again

For a government that claimed it was going to "clean up" in Ottawa, watching the Iron Curtain of secrecy descend is quite worrisome.

Now we have Harper trying to muzzle the Auditor General.

Fortunately, our current Auditor General isn't exactly a 'shrinking violet' type:

Auditor-General Sheila Fraser found allies yesterday who condemned the Conservative proposal, which could mean that Parliament's officers must vet their public statements through a wing of the Prime Minister's Office, as an unprecedented attack on the independence of the officers, who are supposed to work at arm's length.

I wonder how long it will be before PMSH finds an excuse to get into a pissing match with Ms. Fraser so that he can justify firing her and replacing her with someone more compliant with his wishes control everything with an iron fist. Harper isn't a democratic leader, he's a totalitarian.
