Occam's Razor

"There are plenty of red flags attached to the Cadman story, from Paul Martin's strange involvement with the book, to the near-impossibility of buying life insurance for a dying man, to the Cadman family's reaction to the book's allegations."

"I can't speak authoritatively to any of those questions. But I can speak to how Tom Flanagan and Stephen Harper negotiate political problems."

"From personal experience, offering bribes just isn't how they operate."

WAIT A MINUTE: If Mr. Dithers knew about it...

Shouldn't he have reported this "horrible crime" to the RCMP a year ago?
"Tom Zytaruk, a journalist in Surrey, said he provided a copy to the former Liberal Prime Minister for review following its completion in February of 2007."

LAST WORD: More Ezra - "Black Tuesday" at the HRC

Here's something actually worth investigating...
The CHRC had vigorously opposed the coming interrogation of their staff, and it's easy to see why.

Dean Steacy, one of the staff who will be compelled to answer questions on March 25th, has previously admitted to creating Internet pseudonyms to infiltrate websites the commission was hunting (something Richard Warman has admitted to doing as well after, uh, first not admitting to it).

But instead of preparing some hermetically-sealed, written answers to Lemire's questions, as Steacy has been able to do in the past, he must now take the stand and answer questions live, under oath, from Lemire's lawyer.

LAST WORD: Well, this is fortuitous...

Anybody know if Dean or "Lucy" need a mouthpiece?
