As in the Prime Minister’s speech to his Caucus which just moments ago concluded.
A recap:
He said it was his Party which has come out first for the need of Senate Reform;
He reminded everyone that it is the two Opposition Parties that have been frustrating this effort;
He told his Caucus that he was going to redouble his determination to see this reform through and that if any of their Tory Senators were not fully supportive in this, ‘they’d best leave the room’.
All hard, tough stuff and yet …
He did not mention the resignation of this Chief of Staff Nigel Wright nor did he mention the $90k paid to Mike Duffy.
More importantly, he did not address the elephant in the room – i.e. ‘whether or not he knew anything of the payment prior to its being made’.
And now he heads off to Peru.
To me his omission tells me that he did in fact know about the payment in advance; if not, there is no reason I can think of as to why he would not say otherwise.
If that is true, Harper, dear reader, is toast.
Indeed, he may be gone even before dear Duffy.
As I see it …
‘K.D. Galagher’
