Harper Sinking like a Stone

Ok, the only geology part is the stone! But Harper gave us the New Toadie-ism for government bodies. He went far and beyond Liberal hacks!

Let's recap the CNSC disaster, for which we will all pay one day in fizzled-out reactors, huge expenses, and maybe even a touch of the old radiation. Once upon a time, it was the respected Atomic Energy Control Board (AECB). It was all techies, and we (the utilities) got along well with them. We, the underlings, put the fear of god in our political bosses by saying "The Board is going to get you!". This worked really well in providing, safe, effective nuclear power. I could stay ahead of the AECB by knowing my shit, and ignoring them!

Then the government wanted them to be fancy. AECB sounded too 50-ish! They wanted trendyness, and went for the CNSC, to sound more like the Americans. Once this was acceptable in the government cocktail circuit, the hack-vultures began to circle. One of the sleaziest Liberals ever, put in Keen as president.

She did all the usual hack stuff, firing everybody, making it more socially acceptable, etc. The CNSC lost every one of their brains, and the utilities were no longer afraid of them. No more could we keep the weasels at bay, and the place was swallowed up in total political self-similarity.

Now, Harper built up on this, and did it to nearly every government body, including the Listeria killers. Everybody was replaced with safe toadies! Who cares if people died? Keen dug in for one last kick at the can (just to be miserable, I'm sure), and got replaced.

Now with the Harpo, there is not a speck of brains driving the ship. What will this mean for Science, and safety? So, with heavy heart for a sophisticate who thinks all politicians are the same, I must support the Liberals, who have a chance of injecting intelligence in government again. Or at least they will be faster at realizing this big mistake!
