Not to downgrade the the Duffy affair and especially the obfuscation with the 90K paid to Duffy by a Harper Aide,what is truly troublesome is those that call this incident proof the Harper Government is corrupt.To those I suggest they google Placeteco or Transelec followed by HRDC.The Liberal Media especially the Toronto Star relegated the news of both HRDC and Adscam to the backpages unlike Harper misgivings which are all page 1. In my opinion they both are worthy of page one as taxpayers monies are being wasted.Sadly hardly anyone knows about HRDC, truly an example of corruption at its worst.

This would occur following a petition containing "x" thousand signatures, the number depending on a percentage of the population of the town, city, province or country.<br /><br />This provision exists in a number of American states.<br /><br />And in Switzerland a plebiscite can be used to change actual and existing legislation at any of the three levels of government.<br /><br />Surely it is not necessary to suffer the embarrassment of someone like Ford through a full four years just because he was originally elected for that term.<br /><br />Arnold Schwarzenegger came to be governor of California as a result of his predecessor's recall. <br /><br />The trouble with Question Period and comments, both public and private, by politicians of all stripes is that they are filled with hypocrisy. When they smell the blood of their opponents they howl like hyenas. A week or a month later it is their own blood that is demanded and they hide behind their lies and innuendos.

I can't quite see how Mayor Dawe got landed in the conversation in the first place. It must have taken quite a stretch of the imagination. Heck, I couldn't even get the GC streamed this week. Was it just my computer or did others find the streamed quit about 9:30?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
