Federal opposition calls for an inquiry into the Harper government’s supposedly negative influence on the Rights and Democracy organization are inappropriate, misguided and corrosive. Inappropriate because they smack of nothing more than a witch hunt seeking political profit off the death of R&D’s late President Rémy Beauregard who died recently of a heart attack. Misguided because they exhibit an appalling ignorance of the failings of R&D that this administration has tried to correct. Corrosive because they would demonize any attempt by any government to reform any media darling organization beloved of the salon liberal left that in fact too often supports groups around the world whose aims are inimical to free societies.
