Straight faces

Nottawa quotes a couple of choice Danny lines from today's Telegram, with respect to the Hebron negotiations:

"We’ve narrowed that gap dramatically...

...Suffice it to say, we, as a province, have not moved on this position at all."

(La province c'est "nous"?)

In any case, the question is not how anyone can print that with a straight face.

It's how anyone can say that with a straight face.

And, yes, true enough, it is Chief Dan Two-Face uttering those statements, whose record on consistency, or even truth, is just a mite spotty.

But still... didn't it occur to anyone to ask how "we" narrowed the gap if "we" haven't moved on any positions?

  2. 10,000?

    So much for this, then:

    Approximately 40% of all government expenditures goes towards salaries and employee benefits. Over the next five years, approximately 25% of the public service will be eligible for retirement. A Progressive Conservative government will use this five-year period to reduce the size of the public sector through attrition.
