In the face of all evidence to the contrary, Stephen Harper’s Conservative government continues to shake the shoulders of critics, eliciting the lonely, pitiful cry: “The Alberta Tar Sands are clean and friendly!” Now the Canadian government is even going up against the EU, the newest Tar Sands nay-sayer, and

I just finished reading a thoughtful piece by Michael Ignatief’s former chief speechwriter, Adam Goldenberg, suggesting that those Tory functionaries who are scapegoated for the government’s crimes often good on to their reward – reinstatement within the party hierarchy. A reposting of a reader’s comment following the article speaks volumes:
