Who Decided We Need Czars?
In an obvious oxymoron, BC announced they are solving our gang problems by appointing a special someone to take on the challenge:
‘Bureaucrat named crime czar to lead fight against gangs’
Vancouver Sun: The B.C. government has named a senior bureaucrat as the province’s first crime czar to lead the fight against gang- and gun-related crime.
In an internal memo Tuesday, Jessica McDonald, head of the public service, announced that senior bureaucrat David Morhart has been named the province’s first public security commissioner.
Solicitor-General John van Dongen said Wednesday that Morhart’s role will be to oversee all elements of the province’s response to gang violence, and specifically to “deliver on the guns-and-gangs strategy the premier announced on Feb. 13.”

Ever since that Obama guy decided he needed Czars for everything, the term frightens me. It means that we will spend a fortune that is sure to be unaccounted for, or that we ‘re solving a problem by making people feel better because such an important person has been crowned to take on the task.
In the end, it means we get little other than a press release to reassure us that the government is looking after us..
Wait and see if this new czar makes any difference…
