how many friends |
We have been writing about the lack of common ethics by our Prime Minister Jean Chretien(1), |
an educated lawyer; and we wrote about our phony Premier Roy Romanow(2), an educated | |
constitutional lawyer, who allows his own government to break its own laws(3). Jean Chretien | |
has been in politics for thirty-seven years, and Roy Romanow has been in politics for | |
thirty-three years. You can only imagine how many friends they have been making in their | |
position of power for such a long time. | |
|
|
bottom |
There are social indications, that in the last thirty years Canada has been living in its past glory, |
and that is why our power hungry leadership and bureaucratic fabric has been eroding little by | |
little to reach now what seems to be the bottom line. I say the bottom line, because it appears that | |
Canada is rejoicing the present phenomenal economic growth which will provide budgeted | |
surpluses; and I say the bottom line, as I reflect to the Walkerton's E. coli outbreak which ended | |
in seven known deaths and another 2,300 known illnesses(4). | |
|
|
two |
I said known deaths and known illnesses because we will never know how much damage has |
been caused by the management of the Walkerton's Public Utilities Commission (PUC). Stan | |
Koebel, the manager at PUC, and his brother Frank Koebel, foreman at PUC, have both testified | |
that in the last two decades they have been mislabelling water samples, they have been fudging | |
critical safety records, and they have been drinking alcohol at work with their own employees(5). | |
|

|
|
isolated |
This situation went on for twenty years, and you just tell me that this is just an isolated incident. |
No, it was not an isolated incident, and it involved the concerted corruption of the provincial | |
inspectors at the Ontario Ministry of Environment as well; who knows, maybe these same | |
inspectors joined their pals, Frank and Stan, and they all got merry and drank together at the | |
PUC. | |
|
|
statistical correlation study |
Yes, I understand, people would tell me that really I can't mix apples and oranges, and for |
instance, I am out to lunch when I try to correlate the Walkerton's E. coli outbreak to the | |
political corruption. Yes, I would agree with these people, but just to be sure, maybe, we | |
should commission a statistical correlation study. And for the right price, maybe, we can | |
even be able to engage the services of Dr. David Cassidy(6). | |
