2005 Speech to be read on the Throne

The 2005 Speech from the Throne is available here.

I'll have more comprehensive comments tonight but my first impression listening on the radio was that this was a big miss. Scott needed to come out big, and this isn't it.

There are a few interesting bits which will be overshadowed by the desperate attempt at the opening of the speech to portray the BIC report as relevant and useful and things like a Government TV station.

Somehow I doubt that this will be along the lines of CSPAN; rather it will be nothing more than a direct feed from the spin doctors at the Department of Communication.

Equating a Government TV station with Public Access to Information is astounding.

Anyway, more to come later this evening...
