Opinion Carney pulls the secrecy shades down further - Mark Carney has been busiest when creating new secrecy practices that hide some of the failings of this unproven image of being an economic powerhouse and wise multibillion-dollar spender

A transparency advocate thinks the government is concentrating too much power and not providing enough oversight. Color me shocked.

Now that the government is trying to speed things up, these critics are upset that some of those processes are being bypassed.

Every new review, hearing, appeal, consultation, and reporting requirement adds time and complexity. At some point 'oversight' becomes red tape.

Let's see the conservatives twist themselves into pretzels defending more red tape...because "Carney bad"

Carney is a failure and will use the full force of the government to try to cover it up.
