The whistleblower complaint, first lodged with the ombudsman 14 months ago, has been ping-ponged around various provincial watchdog groups, including the auditor general's office. Last fall, while the formal complaint languished, the whistleblower sent her reports to the PUB, which is now reviewing them as part of a larger look at Hydro's risks as they relate to a possible six per cent rate hike. Much of the PUB's discussion about the whistleblower's allegations could be done behind closed doors to protect what Manitoba Hydro argues are corporate secrets. Hydro has also asked the courts to ban the publication of any commercially sensitive information about Hydro's operations that might emerge in the court case. That means affidavits and documents describing the substance of the whistleb...

It's one thing saying 'The teacher sucks,' to your friends over a beer or a cigarette or a Coke. That's slanderous, but nobody really cares about that. When you put it on the web it's libellous because it can be read by anybody and can hurt the person's reputation "That's slanderous, but nobody really cares about that. When you put it on the web it's libellous because it can be read by anybody and can hurt the person's reputation." Most of the several dozen participants said there isn't a day that goes by that they don't check their Facebook account. They don't condone threats or posting mean comments about teachers, but say at the end of the day, unwinding in their pyjamas at the computer is a great way to vent frustration and see they're not alone in what is irking them.

I'm not happy about it," she said. "It's full of lies, it's slanderous and it's unsigned. That's the mark of a coward. The brochure offers few hints about who may have authored it and [De Groot] wouldn't speculate. One or two references suggest a disgruntled firefighter may be the author, but [Alex Forrest] says he is "100 per cent certain" that's not the case. "Whenever these things happen, they always have the opposite effect," said Forrest. "It just solidifies the support base."
It is not often that you see chutzpah displayed as vividly and transparently as Conservative MP Shelly Glover has managed to accomplish this week. Imagine my surprise when, after reading about how "disappointed" and disturbed" she was about the partisan behaviour in the House of Commons, I arrived home and got in my mailbox from Glover one of those shameless, slanderous, and untruthful fliers that the Conservative Party of Canada has become known for. For about eight hours, I had hope that perhaps Glover was a new breed of Conservative politician. That hope was eliminated so very quickly. Glover has proven to be nothing other than a hypocrite like the rest of her Manitoba Conservative caucus. For shame, Ms. Glover.
