Then again, Harper is the ultimate transactional prime minister. Who would want to get tarred with this scandal, even by association, on behalf of a man with zero loyalty?The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-62095967653666268812013-11-23T03:56:03.061-08:002013-11-23T03:56:03.061-08:00.. caught a bit of Even Solomon's show yesterd..... caught a bit of Even Solomon's show yesterday ..<br />I was surprised to hear various explanations, that a 'chief of staff's main purpose' in PMO & Parliament, was to keep dangerous knowledge away from their boss (PM)<br /><br />That's nonsense.. the correct terms or description are 'insulation'.. 'firewall' .. 'separation' .. 'distance' .. deniability .. 'buffer zone'<br /><br />To even attempt to imply Nigel and Stephen Harper didn't communicate constantly re all key matters.. is absolute nonsense & quite disingenuous. To suggest Ray Novak.. as well as Benjamin Perrin & Jenni Byrne & Arthur Hamilton were integral parts of the primal conduit or communication matrix along with Nigel is far more appropriate. This was/is a big, polished, expensive governmental machine, fully meshed with the 'Conservative' party machinery.. <br /><br />So where are these particular persons currently? Any sightings of Arthur Hamilton, Benjamin Perrin (Solicitor/Client Privileged) .. Ray ? Hello? Jenni ?? Hello .. Nigel ? Hello ? Stephen Lecce? Hello ?<br /><br />We're not seeing too many Ministers step up to defend Stephen Harper.. running for cover or cravenly positioning is a better description. Certainly trying to avoid being caught up as 'collateral damage' is the mode de jour ..
