"These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized." - Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding - The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
"In a March 27th, 1995 letter to David Dingwall (then Minister of Public Works and Government Services), Ralph Goodale (then Minister of Agriculture) asked for a special favour:
In order to respond to the issue in time our department will need to sole source a contract to conduct the necessary survey and analysis work amongst both the general prairie public and the farm population. I wish to contract with The Earnscliffe Strategy Group to conduct this survey which will cost under $50,000. The company’s knowledge of the policy file gained from previous research permits the rapid turnaround on issues such as methodology and issues to be explored during the survey. Also, the primary consultant to be involved is from Saskatchewan and has an excellent background in prairie agriculture.
A sole source contract to Earnscliffe? The primary consultant is from Saskatchewan? The primary consultant was likely David Herle who it turns out, was Ralph Goodale’s driver and a close aide when Goodale was leader of the Saskatchewan Liberal Party."
Although this was a post originally by Stephen Taylor in 2006, when you compare Goodale's behavior with the Green Shift stance, the Cadman affair, his budget "analysis", Goodale cannot help himself.
He deliberately distorts, spins, and is less than forthcoming all the while accusing the Conservative Party of acting in that same manner. He acts in a manner that would never be accepted in the outside world.
Ralph has been an MP and a member of the Liberal Party of Canada for far too long.
In other words, Ralph has become institutionalized. It's time to bring him back into the real world.
