I used to think it was the politicians. But I now realize the fingers need to be pointed at those with the real power in this country -- the Ottawa-dominated federal bureaucracy. It's not that civil servants aren't hard-working or dedicated. It's just that too many of them are based in Ottawa for a country as big and as diverse as this one.
That's only part of the problem. The Ottawa-centric bureaucracy has also managed to insulate itself from outside influences for years. In fact, only recently the federal civil service changed its hiring rules so that those living outside of the national capital region could apply for job postings in Ottawa. Yeah, you read that right. If you were living in Brandon or Bonavista and qualified for a federal job in Ottawa, that position was off limits if...

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty sprinkled cash virtually everywhere, with an increased child-tax credit for working families, capital-tax reductions for the business community and billions more in transfer payments flowing to the have-not provinces.Everything seemed on track for the Tories to march toward majority territory in the polls.

The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...
