Bottom line: schedule F advocacy can get dressed up in language on improving good governance and performance. It does not do that, relies on myth, and ignores good ways to resolve actual problems. The loudest proponents know what they plan to use schedule F for. Believe them.

But taken seriously, as a means to stifle, silence, or remove civil servants who might dare to do their jobs—it’s funny, when I read comments like this, I get the sense that might be the aim, not good governance. You?

So, taken literally, Schedule F doesn’t make a lot of sense. Stop giving credit to those taking it literally and ask them to repair issues with the civil service if it’s such a big deal to them.

(Don’t let myths become your truth: it’s how we break the decent system we have. I digress.).
