The Globe and Mail reports that those vying to replace Kevin Page, the man who so distinguished himself as our last Parliamentary Budget Officer, are being asked to undergo psychological testing.
I understand there is also an asterisked portion at the bottom of the application.
* Those with integrity need not apply.
The one person who needs a psychological test the most is Harper himself.
ReplyDeleteA man with strong guts and stamina can be Parliamentary Budget Officer - so may be the test is justified.
Sadly, those very qualities would likely disqualify such as person, LeDaro. Passivity and craven obeisance to bullying would likely be the winning combination for Harper's successful candidate.
DeleteThat requirement tells you a lot about these folks, Lorne. Their definition of "mental illness" is the same as the one that used to be common currency in the U.S.S. R.
ReplyDeleteOh, so true, Owen. The Harper regime has no room for the 'politically diseased.'
DeleteI thought the standard Conservative mode of testing was administered by the greasy gloved hand of a proctologist
ReplyDeleteThe current regime certainly gives new meaning to the term 'rearguard actions,' don't they, Mound?
