I don't recall there were quite so many Cons being charged and/or convicted during Mulroney's days? Am I correct?
I also recall that the first book on the corruption during Mulroney days only appeared a year or so after he lost power. It was "On the Take" by Stevie Cameron, I think, who then went on to write three more books on the Mulroney-Schreiber days. Now there are already several books (e.g. Party of One, Michael Harris, Lawrence Martin's Harperland?) on the corruption and abuse of power by the Harper government. And Steve has been in power (so far) for about the same length of time as Mulroney.
Well, in a dubious way, Steve has made a name for himself. Perhaps he even thinks he has shown us what a great PM he is. Kind of like an idiot thinking he is the world's smartest person, eh?
When is Sona?
ReplyDeleteCame and went, Anon. He was convicted in November, but he is appealing.
DeleteThx Lorne, I LOL.
ReplyDeleteSomething to keep us all going, eh, Pamela? ;)

I suspect by the time King Stephen's reign ends, Anon, he will hold several records of very dubious distinction..
Deletehi Lorne...good one. I'm definitely putting this one on my fridge... ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy to be of service, Simon. There will be another to add to the calendar if and when Arthur Porter is ever extradited!
