The Auditor General is the taxpayers’ best friend. No wonder the federal government has money for everything else BUT the professionals who shine the light on government spending.

It is still a shocker to many when a politician doesn’t take the easy way out and puts principle about power.

The federal government’s $600 million subsidy for select media has many worried about their independence but even the most cynical are shocked by the who the government chose to decide which outlets get the money.

Imagine being forced from your job – waiting two years before charges were laid – against a multi million government prosecution while the government does all it can to hide and delay documents.
