One for da little guy

    Finally, the pundit Norman Spector, who briefly served as Brian Mulroney’s chief of staff, contributes a fascinating afterword to A Secret Trial. In a significant memoir of his service in Ottawa, Spector both endorses Kaplan’s concerns about the ethics of the Mulroney government and argues that “the odour of corruption” in Ottawa is longstanding, ubiquitous and thoroughly bipartisan. Along with the sponsorship scandal, Spector draws attention to how former prime minister Jean Chretien is doing an end-run around Parliament’s “cooling-off” laws limiting lobbying by former officials: Chretien can’t yet lobby former associates in Canada, so he’s doing it in Kazakhstan, China and Africa.

Da proof is da proof

You know, with the heat going on Mulroney in Ottawa right now, you would think that Chretien would have the sense to lay low...before some one decides, in the spirit of "fairness", to take a close look at his business dealings while he was PM...

...ah, SKT, you mean looking back into the "mystery 4th owner" of the country club, and his claimed "bill of sale [of his shares] on a napkin"???  :

His sheer arrogance leaves me almost speechless...

Hey, I'm just saying- the nail that sticks up is going to get hammered.

Hmmm- you don't suppose that Karl Heinz Schrieber is actually in the Martin Camp, and that all of this is just a convoluted way of getting at Chretien (I mean, once you start looking at allegations against one former PM, you might as well look at allegations against all former PMs)?  Just in the spirit of being fair...

I don't think they make squeeky clean Prime Ministers at the factory.

The PM said exactly the same thing the day Dion was howling for Mulroney's blood in Parliament. It didn't seem to deter M. Dion however so perhaps the Cons should now bring it.

Ah, merci, did not see that in our version of national news.  Where there's smoke, is there fire?  We can only wait and watch...

I personally got a chuckle out of the caption underneath the photo of Harper and Mulroney...
