A power struggle with Defence Minister Bill Graham has provoked the military’s acting ombudsman to resign just weeks into her job. Barbara Finlay, who was appointed acting ombudsman by Graham when Andre Marin resigned April 1, stepped down last week.
Spokeswoman Barbara Theobalds said Finlay quit after she received a letter from Graham April 14 confirming her appointment and asking that she forward sensitive complaints to the minister’s office.

Captain Payola Martin has been re-assured by that old salt, C. Parrish, that she will not vote to sink the tub,rusty tub; rub, my back, willya Jack.
Parrish has fitted herself into a Mae West for the long voyage into oblivion.
Let’s hope she’s joined by many of her previously friendly colleagues.
Libranos
In hindsight Parrish may turn out to be the Libranos canary in the mine.
An ill disciplined underling that drew heat with little meaningful pay off. Careless arrogance in the organization that believes that they can get away with anything.
