NDP has long proved to be potheads when the marijuana party damn near merged into NDP and the Liberals like their libations.

Now that's funny!

Whenever a woman cries leave it to men to roll there and say it's a ploy or trick.:roll:
Especially when it seemed so on cue and contrived...;-)

You keep running with the "She doesn't know" angle.

I don't buy that.

Given the fact that she stated that her and Jaffer have no idea how the coke got in his pocket, she has all the credibility of a cat with feather hanging out of its mouth, and an empty bird cage.

Then let's assume she does know. Then certainly Harper has a right to defend himself and straighten out the facts of the case. Now if it turns out he can't for this or that reason, then he should have thought of that before and bumped her out of Cabinet quietly.

Let's assume nothing. You're of the opinion, she doesn't know. I'm of the opinion she does.

Neither of us is right. Let's stick with that.

No he doesn't, and that's not an opinion.
Now if it turns out he can't for this or that reason, then he should have thought of that before and bumped her out of Cabinet quietly.
He likely did. And again we come full circle to...

Damned if he does, damned if he don't.

I agree. It's just not up to us to decide that though.

To clarify, I don't fully believe her. I'm just saying on principle it was up to the courts and not the PM to reveal the criminal accusations against her to the public.

Why? He had to present a reason to the public and the opposition.

She was turfed by a government that ran on transparency and accountability.




... Or, she was turfed because of allegations of impropriety, abuse of her office, participating in influence pedaling and possible criminal acts.

(I noticed that you ignored those wee little insignificant elements)

Why does it seem it is.
Because it seemed to be on cue, in an interview that really didn't ask any hard hitting questions, or at least dig at them when the answers were silly.

It's based on whether you believer her or not and we have zero evidence otherwise.
I don't believe her because she's a politician. I hate to generalize, but I think most if not all are unmittigated scumbags, by nature.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Agreed, which is why I have not said she was guilty of any wrong doing. Only that she's been dumped legitimately, and that I don't believe she doesn't know why.

How the hell can any of you possibly believe a word that comes out of the mouth of any politician whether it's your muncipal reeve or the freakin' PM they are ALL crooks, liars and scumbags.

This whole thing is ridiculous. Apparently, the police "discovered" a small amount of crack in the guy's suit jacket. which was in the car. I wouldn't give a nickle for evidence police "discover" by themselves. Did the police ask if they could search the car? This smacks of a planned take-down of Ghergis and her husband who became "excess to Harper's requirements".

Not all of them. The good ones just never get elected into office.

I wouldn't go so far as to building conspiracy theories here. As for the crack, it's supposedly been found but charges dropped. Well, that's for the courts to decide, I don't know the full story to that. All I'm saying is that if the accusations are true, and they may very well be true, Harper handled it terribly.
