Just 13 per cent of Canadians believe Prime Minister Stephen Harper is telling the truth when he says he had no knowledge of Nigel Wright’s $90,000-bailout of Sen. Mike Duffy, according to a new poll.
The CTV News Ipsos Reid poll also found that 44 per cent were “not sure whether or not the prime minister had any knowledge of the monetary gift made by Mr. Wright at the time,” and 42 per cent said they are “convinced that the prime minister would have known about the monetary gift by Mr. Wright at the time.”
In a sign of how politically damaging the scandal could be, the survey also found that 66 per cent of respondents considered the involvement of the Prime Minister’s Office a “serious ethical breach.”
Harper's days are numbered. He 'might'........'might'........get elected again.......but his days of a majority government are over. (unless Trudeau makes a major mistake)
Harper would be a fool to use his previous attack ad strategy although he has already tried but even some of his CON members don't want to see them anymore. Harper will have to stick to the facts and his record and that's but one area of several he will falter in.
I remember similar comments when he ran against the visiting professor.
Well you will have to remember back as to who said them, because I didn't.
I take it that you don't believe that Mulcair can beat Harper?
After listening to and watching Mulcair,......and seeing the other candidate.......then putting all three together at this point ........I would say no.
One of the saddest parts about politicians I find is, they are suppose to be leaders, someone who young people are suppose to look up to and learn from. But what are we getting from these leaders?.........scamming money, lies, drugs, drunkenness etc etc etc. There is something terribly wrong.
" three senators in trouble for milking the public purse through their inflated expense accounts"
THREE conservative senators appointed by Harper.
You guys can try spinning the story to blame others from a different era, it does not change the simple fact that Harper promised to reform the Senate, avoid patronage appointments and we now have three senators appointed by Harper now in trouble for milking the public purse.
Can you at least honestly admit these three Conservative senators were wrong? - without trying to dilute the problem by bringing in other stuff.
I just do not understand how you guys can spin the facts so badly. NOBODY has been found "guilty" of anything yet.
Three conservative senators are in trouble over expenses they have claimed, money they received from the Canadian taxpayers, and have later been asked to reimburse the government or have already fully or partly done so.
If you are missing a third conservative senator, maybe you should take a look at:
More specifically:
Insiders told Fife that Wallin repaid $25,000 before the forensic audit began. She has since returned about $15,000 more to taxpayers, but sources say she will likely have to give more money back.
Spin... spin... spin...
The fact it the three Conservative senators were appointed by Harper, the Prime Minister who campaigned on a platform of Senate reform, away from the patronage seen previously by both the Liberals and the Conservatives (do you remember those Mulroney appointments?)..
We should have a new law in Canada...........any politician who makes a promise during an election has to say when making that promise at what point he will accomplish it. If he doesn't give a timeline then he or she can't run for office. Also, if they make a promise but do not keep it....they're out, gone, adios, bye!
I suppose the only problem would be.......we would have few people running for political office in any area.
