One more degree of separation from democratic rule

1:23 pm Canadian Politics

The puppet masters of the coalition are revealed:

CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife reported earlier Monday that a high-profile, four-person economic panel would guide a Liberal-NDP coalition government on finance matters.

The group would comprise Frank McKenna, Paul Martin, John Manley and Roy Romanow.

“This is a way to assure Canadians the economy would be managed properly,” Fife told CTV Newsnet.

The panel of “wise men” would help the new government navigate the current global economic turbulence, he said.

The list includes three Liberals and one New Democrat, though none currently hold elected office.

Well, Bob, one guy’s “wise men” is most other people’s “junta”.

At least he’s already in the proper mindset if he contemplates a career move to Al-Jazeera.

    And this band of misfits is still trying to convince the public that they didn’t start the coup until AFTER the fiscal update? What a crock!
