We have been covering so much about Roy Romanow's governmental practice of managing by the number game. Doesn't matter the kind of spinning numbers our Economic Development Minister Janice MacKinnon tell us, we know that the number game is not the best way to manage our province. In fact, Roy Romanow's number game has produced the lowest number in economic development, the lowest number in higher education, the highest number in crime, and the highest number in infant mortality.

Now, we have another politician, Stockwell Day, who unable to walk his talk, wants to manage Canada by the number game. Beginning with the understanding that the world was created in 6 days, that Sunday is a Day of rest, and that earth is 6,000 year old(1), Stockwell Day is envisioning a new public governance where 400,000 people can petition the government for holding referendums(2), and where law and order follows the game rule: 2 strikes, you are out(3).

The election is not over yet, and we will keep our readers informed as new numbers will further determine the values of our leaders' assets.
