A visitor to the blog referred me to a story in the Edmonton Journal that questions the credibility of Conservative MP Gurmant Grewal.

The Gomery Inquiry is more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. Longtime Liberal party organizer and head of Pluri Design Jacques Corriveau denied that paying the salaries of 3 Liberal workers was a plot to divert sponsorship money to the party. The 3 were with Pluri Design when the firm raked in $2.3 million [...]

Has everyone around here gone lawsuit crazy? What are we, a bunch of little girls or grown adults?

OTTAWA — With a snap election hanging over their heads, the Martin cabinet quietly oversaw a patronage spree during the last month as it neared a too-close-to-call vote in the House of Commons that threatened its hold [...]

Warren Kinsella has some advice for Stephen Harper. Although I earlier said that I don’t link to Liberals and/or lefties, in this case I’d make an exception except the man doesn’t have permalinks. Anyway, he explains how Harper should allow a few more ridings to get “hijacked” by Christian “wackos” then make a big show [...]
