I find this ridiculous.
For years now the Conservatives, Bay Street, editorial boards, and your Aunt Fanny, have demanded that government be run like a business. Suddenly, when the de facto CEO of the Canadian Mint acts like a CEO, panties are in a twist. Why? In North America, CEOs are paid on the front-end, and on the back-end. Often regardless of performance. That is how big business is done in North America. You right whingers asked for it, you got it, and now you are pissed.
As for expenses; do you think that the nations business should be held at a Wendy's? Big business takes place at expensive restaurants. Restaurants that do not have a $1.99 value menu. Stop griping about dinner accounts if you want the government to be run like a business.
Before you comment, make sure you look into the CEOs of the corporations in which you have invested. Tell me your RRSP is free of corporate scandal. You are paying for them too. Taxes you have to pay, but investments are voluntary. So which one upsets your more?

Tied For The Number Band in The World!
From breitbart.com comes this joyful nugget:
Noam Chomsky, the American linguistics expert and US foreign policy critic, was named the world's top public intellectual,
according to a new British magazine poll released.
Best known for his loud and consistent criticism of the Vietnam War and US foreign policy over the last 40 years, Chomsky,76,
decisively beat Italian novelist and academic Umberto Eco and third-placed Oxford University professor Richard Dawkins to top the poll.
What a load of hooey. This is the equivalent to any "Top 100 Songs of All Time Labour-Day Marathon" on one of the "Mix 92.5" fm stations you have in your area.
I did snigger at this bit in the piece:
...the highest-placed female intellectual was Canadian journalist and activist Naomi Klein.
Really? I didn't think that she was the top intellectual in Ottawa, let alone the world. But then, this just reminds me of The Tubes, from whom the title of this post is taken. They got it, way back when.
