agreed guest.....and this is the party leader who says he intends to reverse Canadian cynicism regarding politicians. Sounds like more of the same old shit to me.

Regarding retired Brigadier-General O'Connor as Minister of Defence:

"He has since worked as a consultant and in a variety of business operations"

More appropriately and to the point, he has since worked as a government lobbyist for the international armament industry.

And Harper defended his choice of O'Connor despite his previous call for a 5 year ban regarding Liberal lobbyists. It's supposedly different if you're a lobbyist prior to election......and I gather, a Conservative. This is the same fellow that will now hand out defence contracts. Wonder with whom O'Connor plays golf?

You want to know who really pulls the strings? Follow the bucks......
