The Conservatives are being slandered by a government bureocrat here. They could never go agains their 2008 election mantra of a fair, trustworthy and open government!
(Shiela Fraser for PM!!)

Just another reason that, should the opportunity ever arsie, I'd have to bust Tony Clement right in the mouth.

I'd vote for her.

Not me. Not necessarily. She's got an easy seagull job--fly in, squawk a lot, crap over everything, and leave. That'd be a great job. Actually building something and making it work is a lot tougher than criticizing.
Maybe she'd be great, I don't know. But her experience to date wouldn't be enough to garner my vote.

AG reports are just that - reports. It's not the job of the AG to fix anything, that's where clowns Parliament comes in.

Doesn't matter, as long as the media keeps hammering away. And if Iggy and Jack are smart they will do same. Weasel Harper will of course take refuge in the fact the official report hasn't been released yet.

They can hammer all they want, it's going to do squat.
Will it dent Harpers reputation, sure it will, but I think people see these tactics for what they are.

Telling the truth would of course be a new and foreign concept to Politicians. That's what we see.

What are these tactics? Asking Harper to splain himself on a current issue is wrong? Not like harping about the coalition or that Iggy is way more worldly than Harper.

Will this change the minds of those whose minds are already made up? Not a chance and in that regard you are right obn the money!
To those who want to know if this matters, well if you lied under oath would that matter? Hell yes.

You think this report just fell out of someones briefcase in the elevator?
Everyone and their dog knows what happened, some Liberal-friendly person in the AG's office released the report illegally to score points for their boy Iggy who's getting killed in the poll.
There is no issue to explain other than someone broke the law and those on the left side of the fence couldn't give a rats-ass as long as The Count scores points.

Yep, the Harper government broke the law. It's another reason why there should be no more Harper government.
