Have you heard the excuses made by Dominique Ollivier, former director of the Office de Consultation Publique de Montréal, when she resigned yesterday after our investigative body reported on the culture of waste that prevailed in this 100% publicly funded paramunicipal organization? ?

It was touching, wasn’t it?
It felt good, we felt it coming from “its depths”!
ANOTHER PLAYING THE VICTIM!
Of course I’m joking.
The former number 2 of the city of Montreal not only didn’t apologize (which would have been the least), but she also implied that it was because of the nasty Quebec journalists if she had to leave his post!
Because through their numerous reports they created “a situation” that prevented him from “fully and confidently carrying out the mission entrusted to him”!
In short, the victim in this story is her!
And the bad guys are the scumbags who (as she JE said) spend their time “creating” scandals that don’t exist!
This is what we call the forehead around the head…
Note that Madame Ollivier is not the only one who behaves this way.
More and more public servants behave as if they are accountable to no one.
As if their position did not impose on them the duty of impunity and transparency, but rather gave them the RIGHT to do whatever they wanted without reporting it to anyone!
It feels like the time of the kings of France, when what happened in Versailles stayed in Versailles…
Get off your throne, friends!
You are not monarchs, but servants!

STEAK, FRIES AND PUDDING
Ask any journalist: It is becoming increasingly difficult to ask questions of politicians and directors of public organizations.
Oh, if they have something to sell, no problem, they’ll do the “Milk Run”!
But when they get into trouble, they suddenly find themselves too busy to answer reporters’ questions.
And when you submit an information request to see certain documents, they are so obscured that you get the impression that the basements of ministries and city halls are full of officials with felt-tip pens. Ink!
The only thing you can read is the document date and page number!
Otherwise everything is blocked, hidden, masked.
At the Montreal Public Consultation Office, we couldn’t even know what these brave officials had eaten during their “meetings”!
We had blacked out the restaurant bills!
As if her eating habits were a state secret!
As if spies could blackmail you if they knew you liked eating clams!

LONG LIVE AI!
Do you know what I tell myself?
That the state could perhaps be managed better if we used artificial intelligence.
At least a computer doesn’t eat or drink.
And it doesn’t travel.
