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 […]
Trudeau to Senators: Walk that way
By Montreal Simon I must admit Justin Trudeau’s move to boot the Liberal senators from his caucus caught me by surprise, and it is certainly a bold one. Justin Trudeau has dissolved a vital bond between senators and the Liberal Party that appointed them, expelling dozens of members of his caucus in a dramatic attempt to […]
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 […]
Coyne changes the channel
By John Klein (aka Saskboy) One of the not-so-solemn duties of the blogosphere is to hold the Main Stream Media in check when they go a little astray. I’m not sure if I should hold Andrew Coyne’s hand as I walk him back to where he was a week ago, or if I should slap […]
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 […]
Duffy: More where that came from
By Montreal Simon Well as you know I’ve long predicted that Mike Duffy would be Stephen Harper’s nemesis. That he knew enough to expose the conniving thugs in the PMO and their shameless scams. And today he appears to have done just that. From the Globe and Mail: “Disgraced Senator Mike Duffy says the infamous […]
