Maybe the Cons. are trying to do so many scandals at once, they’ll hope Canadians throw up their hands and not care about what they’re doing anymore, or lose track of them, or something.
Here’s the latest one:
The federal ethics watchdog is investigating a sole-source contract Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s office awarded to a well-connected Conservative…Flaherty has admitted his office broke government contracting rules in hiring Hugh MacPhie to help write last year’s budget speech and provide advice on how to sell the document. MacPhie, who had written speeches for former Ontario Tory premier Mike Harris, was awarded the $122,000 contract without tender. Treasury Board rules generally require a bidding process for contracts worth $25,000 or more.
I could repeat my request to the Liberals to please throw these guys out, but I don’t want to sound shrill, so I won’t say that. I will say an election ad with all these scandals the Cons. are embroiled in with the “Things That Make You Go Hmmm..” song playing in the background would be a nice touch.
Thanks for your effort in exposing this massive scandal. I am sure that it will rock canadian democracy to its core.
When you have some free time you could examine the relationship between Earnscliffe and the Liberal party, specifically focusing on the relationship with Paul Martin.
