Well, I find that equally flat, to be honest.

Well then I won't bother to explain, just as you didn't. ;-)

and whats your point? That the other 2 were too stupid to require remuneration?

I think maybe it's more like the other two didn't charge a feee because they're MP's and giving speeches is part of the job.

Also note, that the ethics commissioner cleared Trudeau on any wrong doing at this particular venue.

I have a feeling the ethics commissioner might not be all he's cracked up to be.

Charity drops refund request to Justin Trudeau, kicks out board members | canada.com

The New Brunswick charity at the centre of a political firestorm over Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s public-speaking fees this past spring has dropped its request for a refund.

The Grace Foundation has also cut ties with several board members, including one blamed for leaking a “private” letter about the issue to the federal Conservatives.

The moves come weeks after the foundation, which supports an 80-bed nursing home in Saint John, said it was “deeply distressed” the issue had become fodder for partisan attacks.

But Trudeau offered to repay the foundation last month after the Prime Minister’s Office got hold of the letter sent to Speakers’ Spotlight and circulated it to the media as part of a campaign criticizing Trudeau for taking money from charities.

Local Conservative MP Rob Moore later revealed it was board member Judith Baxter who informed him of the request to Trudeau and gave him a copy of the letter.

The Harper government appointed Baxter to the board of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in 2007 and again in 2011, and her husband is a member of Moore’s federal Conservative riding association.

The Grace Foundation board has said it did not give Baxter or anyone else permission to approach Moore “or any other political person” to champion the organization’s request for a refund.

The foundation’s website on Monday showed five of the organization’s 10 board members no longer listed, including Baxter.

Reached at her home by telephone, Baxter confirmed she was no longer with the board but otherwise refused to comment before hanging up.

Fellow board member Susan Buck, who wrote the letter to Speakers’ Spotlight, was also dropped as a director, and refused to comment.

Seniors’ organizations and municipal politicians in Saint John have said it is “sad” the Grace Foundation got dragged into a political melee, and that the organization isn’t partisan but supports an important nursing home in the community.

It is sad that Harper fanatics tried to use a charity doing important work in their endless campaign to deny real oppositional government in Canada.

Isn't it bromantic?
Shiny ponies in the night, a dream to liberals can be heard.
Isn't it bromantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word.
I hear his speeches playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love.
Isn't it bromantic
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it bromantic?
Every note that's sung is like a shiny lover's kiss.
Sweet rainbows in the moonlight,
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it bromance?

Harper is far more repressed than Trudeau, if anybody is a closet case in federal politics it's probably him. It could be just one more closely protected secret in that fortress of solitude that passes for the PMO these days.

Taxslave, - do you ever get tired of doing the 'Blind Harper Defenses?"
Hey- even I admit that JT has a lot of learning to do, esp. on international economics.

However, in 2004 PM to be Harper, along with the rest of the ' Calgary Conservative Citadel', didn't say boo when a highly respected Calgary LAAS firm was sold down the river in the Titsucker battles over Canada's refusal to aid GWB's missile shield.

Is that CYNICAL or what?

I pay much closer attention to what goes on in Canadian politics than most people and other than putting royal back into our alarmed farces and his misguided war on drugs I don't see much Harper has done wrong. He has a lot of years of bad Liberal policy to undo. Fixing the long gun registry was just one of the important repair jobs he accomplished.

I call 'snort'.

You demanded a 'full executive summary' from me , but you are too 'disinterested' to pedal; down to Obhrai's office to read the full file.

Wassa matta, scared that your political hero might look 'tarnished'?
