JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE INEPT BEHAVIOR OF GOVERNMENT IN CANADA RAISES DOUBTS EVEN IN THIS OLD-AGE "SMALL-L" LIBERAL ABOUT GOVERNMENT'S ABILITY TO GET THINGS DONE - THE EXAMPLE OF THE CITIZENSHIP GUIDE

John Chuckman


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN CBC NEWS


“Revamped citizenship guide still a work in progress as election nears

"...the existing guide — which is riddled with historical gaps and outdated information — as their primary document for preparing for the citizenship test"



Simply unbelievable.

This is precisely the same kind of poor work and oversight as we see in the government’s faulty payroll computer system.

It should be so easy for the Guide. It’s little more than a big pamphlet. Get just one quality researcher/writer, sit him or her at a desk with a computer for some weeks, and, presto, you get an intelligent, clear, sensible guide.

But that appears to be a task beyond those governing this business.

It's matters like this that do sometimes make you wonder whether government can get anything right.

I'm not a conservative, but as I grow old and read of event after event of this blindingly inept nature, doubts do come to mind.
