Harper to be investigated by Ethics commissioner

Stardate 5404.3

Heh about time! Ethics Commissioner Bernard Shapiro is launching an investigation into what role H-dog had in David Emerson's floor crossing...

"The ethics commissioner is apparently investigating ... whether Mr. Harper induced Mr. Emerson to come over with the offer of a cabinet post," CTV's Robert Fife told Newsnet Friday.

Gee, I wonder... Considering all the facts and quotes we have compiled so far, whether it was Emerson's staunch opposition to the Conservative Vision of Canada, or the fact that afterwards, he smugly declared that collecting dust on some back bench in Ottawa was not nearly as appealing as his new post, I think there was quite obviously a BIG part played by H-dog.'

Naturally, everyone is gonna go off about Stronach and Brison. They should have been investigated too, as reader Pete would say, and I agree. But we are living in the here and now. The CPC's "Stand up for Accountability" in action!!!

Maybe George can lend him Karl Rove for a few days to sort this out.
