Government "CARE" is a Death Sentence


If you thought that the government response to one of the Cambie Merchants that we posted here recently was cynical and in deep denial of reality, check out how the Ministry of Children & Family Development (God help us!) responds to 3 foster care deaths in one month!


"Sometimes it's just one of those statistical things that happen."


Now that should be enshrined in gold and bronze and platinum in the Public relations Hall of Fame handbook on How Exactly NOT to Talk to the Media.


And these folks have about 30 "communications officers" per square foot.


In fact, there were 98 child deaths last year under the ministry's caring umbrella.


Just stats, I guess, those no longer breathing, laughing boys and girls.


In a tiny item on page B2, we learn further that a father is guilty of assaulting his 19-month old son. The mother had already been found to be incompetent. But how did this happen?


Well...the social workers were "attempting to reunite the family."


Geniuses everywhere we turn.
