   some 40% of external job postings and competitions are rigged charades.   
      
   as reported in newspapers and said to me many times by temp agencies.   
      
   it is a shaky edifice of lies, corruption, and incompetence. take your pick.

   and your point is? You can't get a civil service job is that it? Well   
   cripple yourself , speak french, paint yourself foreign, become a female if   
   you're not one already, preferably a minority appearing one and declare a   
   handicap.  Then scream discrimination.

   This was not always so.  Which at least goes to argue that this need not be   
   so.   
      
   The civil service should be seen as some valuable national service   
   and not a parasite upon the taxpayer.  This is more than just a PR failing.   
      
   Reforming the civil service starts with the top and promotions should be   
   from the ranks.  I would begin with the abstraction and training of a   
   corps of exceptional individuals within the current civil service.   
      
   Sort of like the old ICS, but since we have no remittance men left we'll   
   have start with just Babus.

   Scientists report that 25% of all species will become extinct over the next   
   50 years because changing habitat will fail to sustain life. In a similar   
   way, human beings need work for life. That is why it is called a living   
   wage. No work and you die. There are already 350,000 homeless on the streets   
   of Canada. One wonders which human groups are scheduled for extinction over   
   the next 50 years?
