By Frank Moher Benjamin Perrin’s testimony on Thursday reminded us that, regardless of what Stephen Harper knew or when, every tendril in the Duffy scandal leads back to the Prime Minister, and his insistence that hapless Mike pretend he lives in P.E.I. When Duffy’s Senate appointment was first mooted, it was Harper, not Duffy, who decided […]
Wright: The Bible told him so
By Montreal Simon It couldn’t be a more outrageous statement, or if you are a Christian a more blasphemous one. But there was Jesus Harper’s fallen but still faithful disciple Nigel Wright, citing the Bible to defend his actions in the Mike Duffy scandal. A star witness of the Mike Duffy trial cited a Bible […]
Duffy trial: Harper is the tie that binds
By Montreal Simon If Stephen Harper thought he could run away from the trial of Mike Duffy, as he was trying to do on Tuesday at a photo-op in Vancouver . . . Which is about as far away as you can get from Ottawa, and Ol’ Duff’s even more massive photo-op . . . The look […]
Terror from within
Alison@Creekside The Conservative Party of Canada faces a “high probability” of a jihadist attack from homegrown terrorists, Defence Minister Jason Kenney warned Thursday as he defended toughened security laws and hinted that Ottawa will extend its military mission in Iraq into the inevitable quagmire of jihadist reprisals. “The threat of terrorism has never been greater.” […]
Senate scandal: The bagman cometh
By Alison@Creekside Please welcome Senator Irving Gerstein, chief Con bagman and in-and-out election scheme perp, to Harper’s Parade of Perps with Perks for what the Mounties allege was his role in trying to kill off the Deloitte audit into the expenses of Mike Duffy. At a Con Party meet earlier this month, Gerstein announced to […]
The Mountie who may bring down Harper
By Montreal Simon I’ve always thought it ironic that a man called Greg Horton should be the one who might bring down Great Timmy Leader by exposing the corruption of his evil empire. But it wasn’t until today that I realized how much we owe that RCMP investigator. From the Ottawa Citizen: “Mountie investigating the […]
A Modest Opinion — Thank God for Duffy and Ford
By Nathaniel Moher [Editor’s Note: Please be advised that this article has been edited to remove any sort of libel . . . and also comedy.] Let’s be honest, guys, for the last four years I’ve been doing my best to try and convince you that Canadian politics are at all interesting. I mean, sure […]
Senate scandal: If it’s a bribe, how come no charges?
So, the RCMP are calling the payment between Nigel Wright and Mike Duffy a “bribe” and “breach of trust.” No charges yet. How come there are no charges from the Crown prosecutor? The justice system shouldn’t wait until there is an angry protest 24/7 outside of the PMO before they enforce the law once they’ve […]
Senate scandal: Robo-Harper
By Montreal Simon It couldn’t have been a more pathetic sight. An angry Stephen Harper lashing out at everybody but himself. Looking absolutely desperate, and sounding like a robot. From cbc.ca: “Growing visibly more angry with every allegation coming from a senator that he appointed, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said during question period on Tuesday […]
Perps with Perks (“It’s getting crowded in here” edition)
By Alison@Creekside Welcome, Con chief counsel Arthur Hamilton, to Perps with Perks for your part in the Senate scandal — Wrighting a cheque to Mike Duffy’s lawyer — “CON FUNDS $13,560” — while Duffy was under investigation to pay off his legal bills and shut him up so as not to arouse the Wrath of […]
