The Canadian government has just release a (very) long awaited foreign policy review. Haven't read it yet (seems to be made up of several 40pg sections that I'm not inclined to delve into), but here's a quick description from one of the deans of Canadian journalism:
"Obviously, official Ottawa has grown so drunk on bureaucratic babble that it believes words and actions are much the same thing. In fact, these pages deliver nothing except pious declarations of intent. Four major departments have put their brains together to design a "vision" for global engagement that will (as the subtitle says) lead us to A Role of Pride and Influence in the World. Unfortunately, there's little in these pages that anyone could call a vision. It is a rule of bureaucratic prose that simply mentioning the word "vision" proves you have one, somewhere, if only the public will look for it."
PS: Congrats Tom!
