🇨🇦 Seven months notice, four months vacant, zero urgency

Mark Carney’s crew was handed seven months to replace Canada’s correctional investigator and still left the job empty for four months. Ivan Zinger explicitly warned Gary Anandasangaree that this would create a serious legal void, crippling the office’s ability to launch non-routine investigations, issue reports, or even flag suicide and violence risks inside federal prisons, as reported. This is the same managerial class that lectures Canadians about rules, compliance, and institutional integrity while apparently unable to fill a statutory oversight role after months of notice.

And no, this is not some harmless paperwork delay. The Office of the Correctional Investigator handles 4,000 to 5,000 complaints a year. Leave it leaderless and accountability stalls by design. Ottawa always finds time for DEI panels, climate branding, and global summits, but basic sovereign state functions get treated like optional admin. Trudeau-era decay did not leave with Trudeau. Carney inherited the machine and, right on cue, kept the dysfunction humming.
