spinning numbers	We have been covering so much about Roy Romanow's governmental practice of managing
	by the number game. Doesn't matter the kind of spinning numbers our Economic Development
	Minister Janice MacKinnon tell us, we know that the number game is not the best way to manage
	our province. In fact, Roy Romanow's number game has produced the lowest number in economic
	development, the lowest number in higher education, the highest number in crime, and the highest
	number in infant mortality.
walk his talk	Now, we have another politician, Stockwell Day, who unable to walk his talk, wants to manage
	Canada by the number game. Beginning with the understanding that the world was created in
	six days, that Sunday is a Day of rest, and that earth is 6,000 year old(1), Stockwell Day is
	envisioning a new public governance where 400,000 people can petition the government for
	holding referendums(2), and where law and order follows the game rule: two strikes, you are
	out(3).
values	The election is not over yet, and we will keep our readers informed as new numbers will further
	determine the values of our leaders' assets.
