'Harper Government' - Office Of Religious Freedom

Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
Matthew, 24:28, NRSV 

Well, it happened today. After years of fearful dithering, the fruits of not really knowing what the hell you are doing, the Office of Religious Freedom was opened by the minions of the 'Harper Government'. The best two words to describe the whole non-event are: NOT NOTABLE. The first ambassador of the said office was identified as one "Doctor" Andrew Bennett, (which does not exist in cyber space) presently the "dean" of Augustine College in Ottawa, Ontario.   

Canadian Credibility...

Now the Oracle of Ottawa has lived in or around Ottawa for most of life and until today had never heard of Augustine College. The Oracle of Ottawa has provided a link. Don't look for the word accredited, it is of course missing. Sort of sends a signal about the whole business doesn't it? If you are really brave you may want to inspect the institutions home page. There you will find words such as "home schooling" and a dead head video by the nasally challenged and ever sickening John Robson, sometimes talking head of Sun News TV.  It appears that yet again the 'Harper Government' has again aimed very high...

On the CBC feed the young pretty "doctor" was identified as Catholic! The Oracle of Ottawa thought that surely upon the lightest inspection that all this would lead to one of the biggest blog posts ever. But as the Oracle of Ottawa was searching and coming up with nothing, a total busted flush. It turns out that the said pretty  young "doctor" (of political science) is in actuality a Ukrainian - Catholic  , that is, a huge force of all 10,000 members, mostly based out in Western Canada. All Roman Catholics of Canada can breathe a sigh of relief. The brand is untarnished, well, at least in one respect.

Of course the saddest effect of this total fuck up is the further tarnishing of the Canadian brand world wide. And to the Oracle of Ottawa it is all a further low besmirchment of all the truly Great Canadians that have come before the likes of the Western scum of the present 'Harper Government'. Not to mention the further erosion of the image of Canada as a nation of impartial fair dealers. But that is the way it is in a budding fascist right wing theocracy that is in the pangs of its birth...
