So as we're hearing from the American media about Obama's State of the Union Address to the Nation tomorrow, what is Mr. Harper doing? This article pretty well reflects my view on Canadian politics that seems to be as remote as ever and it almost seems like Harper is running Canada like a CEO would run a corporation where information is pushed on a need to know basis. This is a stretch analogy, but maybe not as much as you think.
Part of this public malaise may be self inflicted as our apathy towards the polictical process plays into government introverted tendencies. Sure, I could be watch more CPAC to get my political fix and surf the Net to find more information about what our government is doing; but I'm thinking this nation may be better served if some information is pushed instead of having to be pulled. Comments?
