Conservative government had its share of scandals, too

Mr. Dick Dodds I presume is a staunch Conservative who likes to point out the foibles of the Liberal Government.

Kudos to him for pointing out to the rest of us Canadian taxpayers who may not have the capabilities to keep up with the Federal news of the day.

As a taxpayer though I would also be remiss not to mention the last Conservative government led by The Honourable Stephen Harper.

The Senators that he appointed that had to be suspended amid scandals. Mike Duffy (who his chief of staff Nigel Ward cut a $90,000 check for), Pamela Wallin, Don Meredith (sex scandal).

The Election Scandals of Peter Penashue and Dean Del Mastro.

Maxime Bernier who girlfriend had ties with a biker gang where he left classified documents at her home.

The Veteran Affairs regional office closures.

The Afghan Detainees torture and abuse scandal.

The Marc Nadon Supreme Court screwup appointment that had to be thrown out.

The G8 Funding fiasco were Tony Clement funneled $50 million into his Muskoka riding.

The 2011 contempt of court instances over the charitable group KAIROS and the F35 fighter secrecy.

Peter McKay’s $16,000 helicopter ride to go salmon fishing on the Gander River.

I appreciate that Mr. Dodds keeps us up to date on all the screwups of the Liberal Government. I also hope that he will be just as vigilant if Mr. Poilievre attains the job of Prime Minister of Canada. Interesting guy this Poilievre; he has never held a job in his life since graduating from Calgary University, other than his paper boy job. Maybe that is what we need in this country. Someone who has been a career politician and never worked a day of his life in the private sector.

Miigwetch,

Rick Revelle
