Decision Making 101

Weighing in on the “decision” to suddenly cancel a facility that had actually broken ground in Fort McLeod a week or so ago I find myself asking the question, “why now”?  This facility had been in the works for several years but after the last election the riding turned into a Wildrose constituency rather than PC.  Historically ridings that were non-PC have been have-not ridings and looks as though the pattern is not changing with our new premier.  Her reply to the question “why” is that she got a letter from police departments telling her they didn’t need it.  Really, is that what we now call “consultation”?  Where was the original consultation to set up the police academy in the first place?
       Here’s another interesting tidbit from today’s news; one of our senators-in-waiting (apparently that’s what they call hogs now) who until recently was on the board of directors of the University of Calgary has been caught with his hands in the cookie jar or more aptly with his snout in the pig trough all through sending in expense accounts without anyone approving them.  How much money can a person dip into at a university?  Apparently enough to actually be told to pay it back!   And now he’s headed to the greatest trough of all, the Canadian senate.  Where there is no accountability at all.  Hog Heaven Indeed.
 
       And we wonder where our tax dollars go!
