Hopefully Canadians will remember this disgraceful episode in Canadian Political history, but I doubt it. One only has to look at Saskatchewan for the answer.

A tacit agreement - you do this thing and you will get a senate job. And it was suggested he would sue the government. Surely we citizens won't have to pay double for this unsavory mess. Are harper and Wright immune to law suits as ex parliamentary people? Time senate rules were made as clear as crystal if we are to put up with it in the future.

Based on the outcome of these two trials one would suspect that the provincial judges saw the Harper Cons for exactly what they were.I am sure that given enough time Harper would have replaced the majority of them with clones of Vic Towes but fortunately time ran out before they could complete the job.A monumental job still remains to clean up the half finished project and haul all of the trash to the dump where it came from.<br />RT Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-50120077500264071612016-04-21T21:58:55.025-04:002016-04-21T21:58:55.025-04:00The Judge pretty much said it all.

It is doubtful any case against Wright and/or Harper et al will go forward via the "justice system". <br /><br />We can now wait to see what Duffy decides to do.<br /><br />It is a lesson which they ought to teach in civics class, about how politicians and their henchmen can manipulate things and along the way almost destroy our democracy. e.a.f.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-44262694766867080992016-04-21T21:52:16.192-04:002016-04-21T21:52:16.192-04:00Sorry!

I hope Duffy sues as well.<br />What Harper did here to preserve his "image" has to be illegal at the highest level. He needs to be brought before the courts to answer for this and the sooner the better. Will he lie in court? Probably. Will his past minions cover for him? I doubt it. Nothing in it for them now.<br />The good I see in this is, sure, old duff was gorging at the trough, but so were the same ones vilifying him. He went by the rules.<br />I believe PMJT will change those rules and while he's at it, fire Bob Paulson for allowing this ridiculous trial to proceed in the first place.<br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-88905368511271095262016-04-21T20:45:46.380-04:002016-04-21T20:45:46.380-04:00Am looking forward to seeing Duffy report to the S...Am looking forward to seeing Duffy report to the Senate. Apparently he's been preparing paper work he needs to do just that. Then there's the question of recouping the vast sum he's spend on his defense. Suing Harper et al would seem logical. Wright seems to have the dough, so he'd be a good target. Maybe Stevie has some Panama papers too. The plot thickens...<br /><br />I hope Duffy is enjoying some celebrations with friends and family tonight.

Expect Harper to resign as MP in the very near future and end up relocating somewhere a writ can't be delivered to thanks to one of his corporate supporters. Harper is too much of a coward to sit through questioning by Duffy's lawyer.<br /><br />mr perfectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
