Do you still think that I was just a bit tipsy? Or do you now think that I was right?

Dead meat. I've never looked forward to a Conservative Convention quite so much.

Alas poor Stephen, I knew him well Horatio.

This is slightly earlier than your OP..........you on the pink stuff today?

Novocastrian

Thursday isn't too far way. I'll hold off on the pink stuff (whatever that is) until then.

I'm beginning to wonder if you ever listen to the news.

Correction applied.

I have seen the news but no mention on Harper on the BBC. It's curious that there has been no mention of Harper's "trouble" in any of the UK media - nothing that I could see on the Guardian or BBC websites last time I looked.

Ah, I see. I actually meant the CBC. Of course nobody in the UK cares about Canadian politics. Hardly a shock is it? But, as a staunch defender of the corruption and duplicity of the current (soon to be ex) PM of Canada, I'm slightly surprised to learn that you've been relying on the BBC for your information.

I'd rather thought it might be the Herald and Sun TV.

And... as I type Peter Kent (a toady conservative ex-journo from a constituency bordering mine and a complete lightweight) is criticizing his boss for rushing to condemn Duffy et al.

Clearly an attempt to throw his hat into the ring for the succession.

I think Nigel Wright may well have reached his limit of being the good soldier falling on his sword. He'll come out with the truth soon.

As someone said, Harper is running out of busses to throw people under.

The incredibly stupid scheme by the PMO to try to get this whole issue off the agenda by bullying the Senate to pervert due cause, has completely failed and we can expect that (amid the pretence of ra-ra unity) there will by knives drawn in Calgary.

The beat goes on.

Ta-ra Stephen. The only person in the world who was born in Ontario but pretends he's from Alberta.

The whole thing is white noise, that's why they deferred it to the fall because it's such a snore. Few people are as interested in minutiae as I am and it even puts me to sleep.

And now Rob Ford has definitely been caught smoking crack and that's a much more juicy story.

Mmm, I thought that too.

I note that even Jason Kenn(e)y is distancing himself from Harper's lastest line of "it's all Wright's fault."

Novocastrian

Not to mention Peter Mackay. I told you not to mention....

<ps. I've been in the US since Thursday so haven't kept up on stuff, but Rob Ford has made the news everywhere: perhaps Harper should try crack>

I want to see the video.

So when will we see the the meat and who do you think?

Oink

They should make that Rob Ford bloke the president of Canada instead of that deadbeat Harper. It would be funnier all round.
