Ask A Canadian: Did He Know?

He?  Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

What was he supposed to know?  Did he know that Nigel and Duffy were from the Dark Side when he hired/appointed them?  They are crucifying him.

Harper’s answer is “no”, but that just feeds the daily parliamentary frenzy in Ottawa.  No bills passed.  Just “Did he know?” over and over every day until the next election two years hence.  Echoes from Mulcair and Trudeau.

Why does it matter?  It’s not the question that’s important.  It could have been “Did he sneeze in the elevator?”  The Dark Side stole $50 million from the taxpayers year after year (The Sponsorship Scandal), but a Conservative can be turfed for telling a fib.

“Did he sneeze?”  Did he know?  My answer:  Who cares?  Their answer:  Does it sound like it might be a fib?  Any fib will do.

Don’t blame Mr. Harper.  Blame Canadian voters.  Like their American brothers and sisters, they can no longer see the forest for the sleaze.

Take Mr. Trudeau’s advice.  Be like his beloved Chinese.  Forget precious freedom and just light up.
