Shooting the Messenger $ 16.00 A Whistleblower's Tale, A True Story Paperback, 188 pages
Shooting the Messenger is an eye witness account of a multi-million dollar fraud (probably the longest sustained fraud on the public purse in Canadian history) and other breaches of the Public Trust at the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs. Shooting the Messenger is not only about the people who committed these deliberate transgressions but also about the people whose job it was to hold them responsible for what they had done – including a former Prime Minister and a Supreme Court judge – but chose not to, with predictable consequences for the author. If ethics in government or in the workplace is part of your college's curriculum, as a case study, it does not get any better or much worse than Shooting the Messenger.
