6218...Dean Del Mastro Update

Still nothing to say.  Off the front pages too.

This guy should take Senator Mike Duffy and the other shady Senators to his favourite buffet and kill it coz they are keeping him out of hot water.  It's not super smooth sailing; the CBC reported in late June that "Records obtained from Elections Canada suggest the agency has deepened its investigation into donations to Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro.  Lists of contributors to Del Mastro's 2008 campaign have been seized by the commissioner of Canada Elections, the records show"  

Our boy is not out of the woods yet.  "If the commissioner thinks criminal charges are warranted, he can refer the case to the director of public prosecutions, who decides whether to press charges."  

Still, as I write this, he walks among us.

Oh what a lucky man he is.

6217...Harper Is Houdini

Not only is he our beloved Prime Minister but Stephen Harper is a magic man.

Canada.com reports that the Conservative Party of Canada is re-branding and part of the re-branding by the Stephen Harpers describes them as "Canada's founding party."

Here is where the magic comes in.  Canada became official in 1867; the current Conservative Party of Canada was born in 2003.  The Stephen Harpers are also online taking credit for NAFTA, the discovery of oil in Leduc, Alberta and the Toronto Maple Leafs dynasty in the 1960's.



Methinks they be lying.

6216...It Takes An Ex Liberal To Come Clean

Ish.

Four Senators have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.



Only one is paying back the bucks he owes.  That information is all over the place and the re payer would be ex Liberal caucus member Mac Harb.  Mr. Harb says he ain't guilty but he is going to pay back the 51 large he [allegedly] owes taxpayers for his creative accounting.

6215...30% Of Us Like Harper

"A CTV News Ipsos Reid poll found that 30 per cent feel the Harper government has done a good job and deserves to be re-elected, while 70 per cent feel it’s time for a different party to take over."





Don't get too excited my Red, Orange and Green Party friends.  39 per cent got our beloved Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, a majority last time out.

6214...Senators Have Ottawa's Panties In A Knot

Eugene Melnyk, the hands on owner of the Ottawa Senators, let Daniel Alfredsson, the face of the franchise for the better part of two decades, go down the road coz he, Mr. Melnyk, is too cheap to pay the captain what he is worth.

Open Letter to Eugene Melnyk : Are you serious dude , on the same day you post an open letter that Basically implores Ottawa residents to trust you more than our elected Mayor Jim Watson , you let Alffie get away. Shove your Casino up your ass.

That is my Facebook and real world friend John Lindsay reflecting what most of your capital is saying today.

6313...Saint Pope John Paul II

Global News breaks with the story this morning that Pope Francis is going to name his predecessor Pope John Paul II a Saint.



A spokesman at RC HQ at The Vatican "...Rev. Federico Lombardi, confirmed that the miracle that brought John Paul to the ranks of sainthood concerned a Costa Rican woman.  The Spanish Catholic newspaper La Razon has identified her as Floribeth Mora, and said she suffered from a cerebral aneurism that was inexplicably cured on May 1, 2011 – the day of John Paul’s beatification..."

6212...Dennis Rodman Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Or at least nominee.

I nearly choked on my Pop-Tart this morning when I read in The Ottawa Sun that the former Chicago Bull and Detroit Piston has decreed that if he doesn't at least finish third in the next Nobel Peace Prize contest the fix is in.



You may recall that Mr. Boards was instrumental in hanging out with that guy, Kim Jong-Un, earlier this year which most likely meant nothing.  Considering Mr. Rodman is 6'8" and could kill me with his hands I would prefer you breaking the news to him.
