Harper 6th longest serving PM in Canadian history

[JagXKR]

Best PM ever. Love him. Has left wing nut jobs angrier than ever, good job Stevie! Not quite my hero but glad he's still there. Awesome PM. I have more money in my bank account than I ever had. Thank you for making the economy so great.
If this offends the left wing socialists unfortunately I will not be able to apologize as I'm busy counting all the money I'm saving by having fewer silly left wing socialist programs to help the "unfortunate". Democracy is great.

Who would you vote for if elections were today.???

[daria]

Who are the local candidates? I wouldn't vote for Ron Cannan, and the other party's candidates are not yet running in the next election. Besides, that's off topic.

I don't think that presiding over getting Canada kicked off the Security Council at the UN makes someone the best PM ever. I would also prefer it if Canada could go back to being known for its peacekeeping role in the world.

To daria ...

So you would rather than Canada continue to "knuckle under" to the U.N. rather than stand up for what is right for Canada and Canadian values?

Sorry but you will have to change if you ever hope to attain the high and independent standards of a Canadian Conservative.

Since every picture of you shows you sitting around I would say probable NDP ... or Marijuana at any cost Baby Liberal.

Why would you post a picture depicting "Mans Best Friend" as a Conservative if you dislike Harper so much?

No, we’d rather vote Conservative and have Canadians set aside their values and access to democratic process so they can “knuckle under” to the corporate interests. Harper puts the interests of Chinese conglomerates ahead of the interests of Canadians. He ratified a deal allowing the Chinese to sue our provincial government (BC taxpayers) if we don’t allow Enbridge to dig ditches and lay pipeline and transport dilbit across our province. Companies are given access to the extraction of our raw resources paying next to nothing for it (low tax, low royalties and don’t even have to employ Canadian workers), and are not even going to be held to anything more than a token account for whatever ecological or environmental catastrophe might result. Cleaning up nearly 25,000 sites across the country contaminated by hazardous waste and pollution will cost billions of dollars more than the federal government has anticipated, says a new analysis by Canada’s budget watchdog – and guess who gets to pay for that? We take all the risk, while these conglomerates reap the rewards. While these companies create tremendous profit for themselves guess who gets to pay for cleaning up the mess left behind?

I have no desire to ever be lumped into the same category as Harper, Baird, MacKay, Fantino, Joe Oliver, Peter Kent, Ezra Levant, Dean Skoreyko, Vic Toews, Rob Nicholson, Kellie Leitch, Rona Ambrose, Shelley Glover, etc. I'd be too embarrassed to leave the house. Thank goodness, I have much higher ethical standards than that lot.

I think it might be just about time to change the diapers on this whole mess ...

PM-appointed gov’t employee remained on payroll despite links to illegal fundraising

A former SNC-Lavalin executive who was appointed to Montreal’s port authority was allowed to remain on the public payroll for months, despite known links to an illegal fundraising scheme, CTV News has learned.

Former SNC-Lavalin vice-president Normand Morin was named by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the port authority in 2006. The post paid about $25,000 a year.

It’s a job Morin held despite his alleged involvement in illegal political financing, and despite the fact that his tenure expired in September.

For more than 18 months, the Harper government knew of the allegations against Morin.

“He is still on the board. He is at the tail end of the mandate. We don’t know yet when it will be up,” said Port of Montreal spokesperson Sophie Roux.

The Prime Minister’s Office took action on Thursday night, telling CTV’s Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife that Morin has now been removed from his position.

“This individual was advised in October that he would not be re-appointed,” PMO spokesperson Stephen Lecce said. “As of today, this individual is no longer a member of the board.”

Morin name first came up at the Charbonneau Commission, a public inquiry into widespread corruption allegations within Quebec’s construction industry.

SNC-Lavalin vice-president Pierre Cadotte told the corruption inquiry the company illegally contributed more than $1 million in donations to Quebec’s political parties between 1998 and 2010.

Morin and two other top executives were involved in the slush fund, Codette alleged.

Cadotte refused to say if it was in exchange for specific contracts.

According to unsealed police affidavits released earlier this month, Morin confirmed to police his unofficial job was to monitor and arrange political financing.

“He admitted to the police that he was making illegal fundraising for the Liberal Party of Quebec,” said NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice.

Prior to the PMO’s statement to CTV News, opposition MPs had been questioning why Morin wasn’t stepping down.

“Why is this individual still on the Montreal Port Authority,” said Liberal MP David McGuinty. “Why hasn’t action been taken already.”
