Ministers don\u0027t fix the problem because they don\u0027t want it fixed. If the public doesn\u0027t care, it will only get worse.
And when Rempel Garner filed an ATI claim for the internal communications that produced that boilerplate nonsense … well, it’s quite a scene.

The response “relies on approved media lines,” another ministry staffer notes. She adds: “Response does not answer questions directly, but provides a response to the spirit of the questions.” Global Affairs funds various Canadian cultural activities overseas — art exhibits, music recitals, etc. — through what it calls the Mission Cultural Fund, which the Liberals seem to fancy as an arm of our reputed “soft-power” influence worldewide.
