OK. So let me get this straight. Bruce Carson, a former lawyer who was disbarred and jailed in the 1980's for defrauding his legal clients.
But still managed to become one of Stephen Harper's closest advisers.
Carson was one of the more seasoned hands in Harper's generally young government when it came to power in 2006, having worked in politics for decades. Many Conservatives lamented his departure when he left for a job in Calgary in 2009
Gets a plummy job under dubious circumstances.

Or if the Cons are forced to replace their fancy campaign bus with a paddywagon.
And of course, once we defeat those scummy mobsters.
Can we please JAIL them?

ReplyDeletehi Kev...you said it...and I'm hoping. I wish the Cons could be condemned for what they have done to our democracy, which is absolutely unforgivable. But if the masses decide to bring them down over this stinky sex scandal I won't complain... ;)
