Mockery

Hi, and welcome back to our program. In recent months, some of Canada's public institutions have been under the microscope, facing cuts from the sitting Conservative Harper government.

Someone involved in that episode could probably benefit from a good read through of Sun Tzu, or maybe Machiavelli. I'm pretty sure one of them would have advised making sure your victory was complete. The CBC is staffed by writers. Not all of them are great, mind you, but they aren't all without skill. And some might have an axe to grind:

Feds hire 'cuts' consultant at $90,000 a day

I get the distinct feeling that someone was being mocked.
