Tuesday, March 25, 2014 The Curwibblers and Closing Time According to the Dictionary of NL, a curwibble is a “sudden change of direction”. Remind you of anything in politics lately? Yes, the current crop of long-standing government members and their affable leader. They have suddenly all seen the “openness and accountability” light. Now, they want to repent for their dark past sins for excluding citizen from the information dome. First, there was the promised review of the notorious Bill 29. Now, we didn’t see anything wrong with the Legislation, but people perceived it as bad. So, we’ll go along with the people …. Only cause it’s nearing voting time. Code for forestalling closing time. Then there was the Open Government Initiative. Here, they snatched $4,500 from the tattered taxpayer’s pockets to gather government cheerleaders and revel in the new era of faux openness and accountability. Piled up behind that was the announced oversight of the mega-money drainer Muskrat Falls Project. “Well, there was plenty of oversight already, But if you insist we’ll indulge you with some in-house bureaucratic snoop-dogs” Jerome got his oversight wish. Meantime, the taxpapers’ account has been drained of $5 Billion without even an oversight blink. Lo and behold, again this week the Curwibblers then hauled out from underneath the cloak of secrecy the reviews on the Legal Aid Commission and the Sheriff’s Office with election spending kicked into high gear to enhance these arms of legal justice and re-election justice. Closing time must be feeling pretty close for the Curwibblers. And the Premier’s previous master must, most certainly, be turning in her political grave. But Marshmallow Marshall had a legacy to leave. And he only had less than 6 months to spin a tale of newfound openness, gentleness and respectfulness. The problem is this government can curwibble down the cow path all they want – but when populace starts singing Closing time and not Hallelujah, the curwibbling down the poop path will get curtailed sooner rather than later. So why even bother suddenly changing direction? antismogblogforacleanergovernment.blogspot.ca/2014/03/the-curwibblers-and-closing-time.html
