It was a comment yesterday that The Mound of Sound (a.k.a. The Disaffected Lib) made in response to a cartoon I posted depicting the much beleaguered Senator Wallin that made me think. He reminded me of an earlier time when there was honour associated with public service, and expressed the

Montreal Simon: Pamela Wallin and the Corruption Cons
Well in the beginning of the end it was almost an anti-climax eh? Another damning report, another Con Senator being investigated by the RCMP.The independent audit of Senator Pamela Wallin's expenses has been referred to the RCMP by a Senate committee that is also imposing restrictions on her travel and

Uh oh. Everybody take cover. It looks as if this cartoon was only too prophetic. The Pamela Wallin jumbo is on final approach, and coming in for a heavy landing. An independent audit of Senator Pamela Wallin's expenses has found ineligible claims amounting to as much as $140,000, and that

It's one of my favourite photographs of all time.The golden moment in when the RCMP raided Con headquarters, to seize documents in the so-called In- and-Out scandal.Documents that were later used by Elections Canada to nail some top Con bosses in court. And now the RCMP may be about to deliver another golden
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Darth Harper and the Coming War on Canada
Gawd. I knew it wouldn't last eh?I knew he couldn't play a real leader for very long. Oh sure, he tried. He did one photo-op after the other in flooded out Alberta.

I'm sure historians will not fail to note that they were a REALLY odd couple.The jolly former journalist and the cold sinister leader of the Con mob.As they struggle to understand what brought them together with such fateful consequences.I used to think it was because the mob leader admired the sneaky way the
