When Jason Kenney is finished hosting the traditional premier’s pancake breakfast at the Calgary Stampede this July, might I suggest he take on another more colourful role at the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”: that of sideshow carnival barker.

With a hearty “Step right up!” Kenney could usher us rubes into the funhouse known as the “Steve Allan Public Inquiry.”

For that is what the inquiry has become: a house of mirrors worthy of a trashy midway.
