In addition to the questions you ask, Joanne, there’s a couple more.
• Who set up the initial meeting between Ms. Couillard* and Mr. Bernier?
I have heard or read that she happened to be attending an event where the minister was slated to speak, and she ended up at his table. How did she manage that?

• If the Bloc and perhaps even the Liberals were aware of Ms. Couillard’s shady past, and they were as worried about national security as they claim to be, why did they NOT inform someone in government, like the PMO, or even the RCMP?
This is the same question that arises with NDPer Dawn Black. She recently alleged (it was even mentioned in QP either Monday or Tuesday by Jack Layton) that Mr. Bernier had exposed documents on a commercial flight which both Ms. Black and Mr. Bernier were on.
This supposedly happened SIX MONTHS ago!
Rather than telling the minister at that time that his documents were visible to others, as Ms. Black claimed, she let it go, but brought it up now that she can use it for political advantage.

* Finally, I wish someone would inform pundits who relish talking about Ms. Couillard that her name is NOT pronounced “Coo-lard” but rather “Coo-yard).

So far there has been no evidence that the files were missing or returned, other than sayso. No video or written reports of them being returned. No employee of F.A. that he/she got them back, or that they were actually missing. Could have been “misplaced” by liberal supporter. And, if these files contained such secret information, why are the opposition demanding to know what was/is in them. Will those responsible for keeping track of files be called at the kangaroo court. Maybe Max resigned because he knew of the smear that would be thrown at him. Maybe the gal just said she had these files. After all, a woman scorned is vicious.
The only thing keeping this alive are a bunch of jealous female reporters with no cleavage and a bunch of envious males.
Wonder how many of their wives, mistresses, girlfriends/boyfriends could stand an investigation into their past without a little scandal coming out.
It was hinted weeks ago that Duceppe was behind all this and it seems he was. He must be desperate and afraid of PMSH.

Ms. Couillard’s credibility is somewhat suspect, given that she said she was a Real Estate agent, but the company she supposedly worked for denied she ever did work for them.

When the committee hearings start, I will be curious to see how the Tory members handle her. My guess is that they will use the short question and answer format that Russ Hebert used during the Mulroney/Schrieber hearings.

I’d like to see Cheryl Gallant doing ALL the questioning for our side. She was good with Linda Keen.

BREAKING NEWS…The Cadman Smear…James Moore just held a press conference on CBC. The tape of PMSH was examined by two EXPERTS and it was DOCTERED!!!!!! He was taking questions from reporters but of course CBC cut off his news conference. CTV isn’t reporting a thing about it YET either.

Gossip mongering is the source of a lot of political scandal… real or perceived. The fact that the MSM types did not take to this at first seems to be a good indication that there may actually be SOME form of professionalism left out there.

Here’s a question for all the pundits … If you read about the politicians in some time pot socialist demanding and getting security services to investigate the girlfriends of politicians would you:

a) Shake your head and say what next?
b) Congratulate the investigators on their diligence?
c) Say … wow just like here in Canada?

Another analogy is to relate the mindset of the former USSR and the Soviet KGB in their pursuit of control over everything and everyone.

Harper is absolutely right to draw the line at having CSIS investigate people because they happen to have a relationship with a politician or government official.

Bernier’s mistake is on his shoulders alone.

Should always spell check ..
Here’s a question for all the pundits … If you read about the politicians in some tin pot socialist republic demanding and getting security services to investigate the girlfriends of politicians would you:

a) Shake your head and say what next?
b) Congratulate the investigators on their diligence?
c) Say … wow just like here in Canada?

When can Canadians expect Mark Holland and Marlene Jennings to make a dramatic entrance into the House of Commons dragging a mattress (bugged?) followed by members of MSM beaming and salivating, under the glow of CBC television lights?

Monty Python’s Flying Circus is in serious danger of being displaced by the Liberal Opposition Party, as a showcase of the absurd and bizarre, with their Inspector Clouseau antics of fabricated scandal, to gain the limelight and their propensity to step in cowpies, while abrogating their parliamentary function as the Official Opposition.
