So, the Conservatives have said 'no' to an inquiry into what happened at the G20 in Toronto. No surprise, but definitely a clue to what lies deep in the Tory backrooms. Sad that it's so dark. It's like they've left their well uncapped and a black slick, as toxic and life threatening as the oil slick in the Gulf, is starting to ooze over over Canada.
The only thing that will cap this well is knowledge. The public needs to know who was behind all these questionable decisions, where the mistakes were made, what was done and not done. It is our right as a people to define what we deem acceptable in our country and not the right of a chosen few, operating behind closed doors, 'blackwashing' laws, rights, and personal dignities.
Like BP and the Gulf, we, the people, are ultimately responsible for what happened on our soil. It is up to us to make our leaders accountable. And just like BP, knowledge is the key to fixing the problem. To formulate a strategy for capping any out of control well, you need to know where the problem started in the first place.
