Boneheads
1. The person who authorized the untendered contract
2. The person who accepted the untendered contract
3. The government for continuing to hire "consultants" to advise the government on how to "sell" the governments own decisions to the people.

Hold a press conference, post it on the web, shout it from the street corner for all I care. We have a federal public service, start using it.

It's time for the government to get out of the advertising business and I would venture the polling business as well.

Kudos to Treasury Board President John Baird for putting a stop to this immediately.

Unfortunately, there will be more examples of this as the months and years go by. The government must remain vigilant and take the appropriate action immediately, even if it hurts. Evenutally, people will start getting the message.
