Oh dear. It looks like the porky Cons have been caught with their snouts in the trough.
The auditor general says the Harper government allegedly misinformed Parliament to win approval for a $50-million G8 fund that lavished money on dubious projects in a Conservative riding.
And she suggests in a draft report the process may have been illegal.
And to make matters worse, just when they were preparing their usual defence...
They've also been accused of additional porkitude, by forging the Auditor General's words.
Auditor General Sheila Fraser has written a scathing letter rebuking the Conservatives for misquoting her in a parliamentary report on the costs of the G8/G20 summits in Toronto last summer,
The Conservatives' report, presented as a dissenting opinion to the Commons the morning Parliament was dissolved last month, quotes Fraser giving high marks to the Harper government for prudent spending on the summits.
The report quoted the auditor general as saying: “We found that the processes and controls around that were very good, and that the monies were spent as they were intended to be spent.”
Pretending she had cleared the Cons, when in fact she had cleared the LIBERALS. For something that happened in 2001.
Not that it wasn't always obvious that the porkers were out of control...
But I wonder what kind of defence the Cons will mount now...
You know I don't think it will work. Not when that little bastard once threatened to jail the homeless.
But then what more can they do? And what more can I say eh?
Except when can we arrest them for contempt AND corruption of Parliament?
Thank goodness they're building all those new prisons.
At least now we know why they were in such a hurry for an election.
And of course, let the party BEGIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the Big House Cons.
We've got those porkers where we want them.
Now hit them until they SQUEAL....
