Would it be too much to ask...

..for a government that spent some time, you know, actually governing?

Let's take the Department of Citizenship and Immigration. They're working on putting some new procedures in place to reduce the backlog of immigration and refugee applications. The resources are just too limited, the difficulties in assessing claims, are just too great. They just can't handle it.

Well, I sympathise. But here's a suggestion: how about CIC expend fewer resources monitoring the movements of private citizens' groups who oppose their current policies -- including the blogs of private citizens -- and actually do their job?

Or better yet, get the hell out of the way and let someone else -- someone competent -- actually run this country.
