What would be the point of a public inquiry? I mean, I can't keep track of them all now.

Maybe we need an inquiry into inquiries? There's a latin term for that in the legal world, it's called "Wetus Dreamus".

You know I'm on your side, Frustrated Mess, but really, any conclusions will be what we know already, no one will be brought to account and no one will be charged with anything.

Inquiries serve only two purposes: To make sure no one is ever charged with anything, and to serve as a funnel between government money and the legal establishment.

The last we had a glimpse of weed king Jimmy Reardon, he was sinking to the ground in front of his Vancouver club, Chickadee, shot multiple times and bleeding.

Did he bleed out? Was that it for Reardon and Intelligence, the gritty CBC street drama that had fans hooked for two seasons, ending abruptly last December?

Before the show was dropped recently from the network's upcoming fall lineup, there was buzz the CBC first buried, then killed Intelligence, because the storyline hit a nerve in corporate ranks. It's about the mass export of Canadian water to a thirsty U.S. amid the overall threat of economic integration.

As one theory had it, new CBC brass under Richard Stursberg, head of English-language operations, was worried enough about the spectre of privatization under the federal Conservatives without making it worse with a show about one of Ottawa's most secret operations: the sale of Canadian water ...
