The New York Times reports on Stephen Harper’s growing corruption scandal! And Harper government rewords Supreme Court Act in Budget Bill to make Harper’s Appointee Justice Marc Nadon eligible for Supreme Court
Harper begins to lose his iron-fisted control, The most useful thing the Senate scandal has done is give the public a graphic insight into how Stephen Harper operates. He is ruthless and can turn on a dime by Haroon Siddiqui, October 26, 2013, The Toronto Star
The most useful thing the Senate scandal has done is give the public a graphic insight into how Stephen Harper operates. He is ruthless and can turn on a dime. Who says Parliament is boring — the Senate irrelevant and the Commons just a yak-fest? In the past few days, proceedings in both houses have proven riveting, especially in the televised Commons where the opposition has done what no one else has been able to for months: crack open Stephen Harper’s armour of denial and obfuscation in the Senate scandal.
The videos from Question Period should be shown to students in high schools and universities to illustrate the difference between our parliamentary form of government and the American system. Had Congress been set up to grill the president regularly, as Parliament does the prime minister, Washington’s executive and legislative branches would be less isolated in their silos. As much as Harper has tried to make the Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau affair go away, it is mostly Parliament that has not let him.
