I see that Michaëlle Jean has a new job. Secretary-General of the corrupt dictator's club known as la Francophonie.
And that Stephen Harper, who spent tens of thousands of dollars backing her candidacy, is absolutely delighted.
But sadly I don't share that enthusiasm. Because while Jean may turn out to be the best Secretary-General the dictator's club will ever have.
When we and Canada needed her the most, she betrayed us miserably.
I wanted to give Michaëlle Jean the benefit of the doubt, when she said two years ago that she saved Stephen Harper's Con regime during the Coalition Crisis, in the higher interests of the nation.
My preoccupation was really to make the best decision in the interest of the country. What was best for the country.
Q: In terms of what informed or guided you, was it the best interests of the country, full stop?
A: History will judge. But I think that everything that I anticipated happened. And this was part of my thoughts.
But I think that Peter Russell's views about what really happened are closer to the truth.
