No investigative journalism, no updates. <br /><br />The Star and CBC News (such as it's cowering self is) will be the only news outlets still reporting on any of this shit 2 weeks after Johnston lets Harpie prorogue. <br /><br />The RCMP aren't going to do a goddamn thing about anything except maybe lock Charlie Angus up for the summer and claim they 'lost him in the system'. Mulcair will not miss him. <br /><br />Justin will maintain his comfortable silence except to go to a few BBQs in places no one's heard of and inanely mutter niceties about things no one cares about. <br /><br />Canadians will fall back into their comfortable numb state. <br /><br /><br /><br />Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12465953801145126160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-74229326384453575022013-05-21T09:20:45.046-07:002013-05-21T09:20:45.046-07:00BCW - One name that comes to mind is Jim Prentice....BCW - One name that comes to mind is Jim Prentice. He was always highly regarded, very capable, and safely outside the Harper government long enough that he could come back "clean."<br /><br />@ Rumley - Harper would need to see exactly the right conditions to risk a fall, snap election - the strategy he used to demolish Ignatieff.<br /><br />He will have to see how events wax or wane over the summer, ferret out and vanquish the dissidents, gain control of the narrative, hope, recover the support of his caucus pray that nothing else comes out to infuriate them and figure a way to make the public wary of Justin Trudeau. That's a very tall order especially for a guy who is already weakened and surrounded by a cloud of hostility.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-18084518653123626012013-05-21T08:32:39.497-07:002013-05-21T08:32:39.497-07:00BCW - I would be very surprised if Harper didn'...BCW - I would be very surprised if Harper didn't know the plotters. It seems to be an open secret that they're of the "Old Guard" in the Tory Senate caucus.<br /><br />Who would take over? Two of those named are gay, that wouldn't sit at all well with the social conservative backbench. MacKay? He's damaged from the F-35 fiasco and has shown himself too limited for the job. Kent? I think his scandal - i.e. his pre-politics role as a lobbyist for the energy companies - is just beginning to emerge.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-25814071054771689582013-05-21T07:17:27.037-07:002013-05-21T07:17:27.037-07:00Stevie must now decide between two stratagies; bot...Stevie must now decide between two stratagies; both danger laden.<br /><br />If he calls a fall election, the -anti-Harper leakers will have a schedule that allows an damaging information to be used to greatest effect.<br /><br />If he waits two years, this may not be the only scandal to be revealed.

Rudyard Kipling wrote: "softly, softly, catchee monkey." You draw in your prey, let them make silly blunders, and then pounce when they're at your fingertips.<br /><br />This all could have been leaked at once but it was released in an orderly fashion that encouraged both Harper and Wright to make self-incriminating statements which were then repudiated by additional information. This was staged like a 3-act play.<br /><br />This is what happens when you come up fast to the junction of Hubris and Sloppy and the brakes fail.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-70214737163302346162013-05-21T05:27:32.767-07:002013-05-21T05:27:32.767-07:00One would have to have an IQ of around zero to not...One would have to have an IQ of around zero to not know that harper knew every single solitary detail of the Duffy cheque. This man is so good at what he does that he will survive this mound. He could be caught on camera strangling his grandmother and all he would have to say is that he is growing the economy and creating jobs for funeral directors. He's that good, and the 40 odd % that keeps this slime in power will put him there again. If the progressive community ever hopes to rid us of this dude, the attack ad should be up and running no later than tomorrow morning, otherwise we're hooped.bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-4050886897013122512013-05-21T00:31:51.294-07:002013-05-21T00:31:51.294-07:00.. does Ray Novak go to South America with Harper ..... does Ray Novak go to South America with Harper as he normally would have?
