Hi Barb - we have much dirty politics too in Canada - many years of it - but a whistle blower only blows their own head off. By the time their personality, ability, heritage etc is chewed into the ground by the blowee and pocket lining buddies, there is not much left except another dirty story and a shredded person added to the unemployment line. It isn't any wonder that most levels of government are frightened to death of having an Ombudsman Officer who is non-political.
