Someone who knew about her past relationship(s) would consider her a "person of interest" warranting investigation. If someone saw Maxime taking documents to her home, then perhaps suspicions arose in the RCMP, and in CSIS? <BR/><BR/>Perhaps - most logically - a foreign agency bugged them (maybe even the CIA - as they would worry about Maxime's "looseness" with gov't info, and the fact that he was privy to sensitive US info as well, being a cabinet minister). More frightening, perhaps, is the chance that a "not-so-friendly" nation decided this may be an easy way to dredge information. The "not-a-wife" involved in the past with bikers, is just interesting enough to make everything disappear harmlessly when he would have to resign - leaving no trace of the foreign buggings/interest. <BR/><BR/>Thing that gets me is that Couillard was suspicious of being bugged. You don't get suspicious of being bugged unless you think there is a REASON for you to be bugged...<BR/><BR/>And I'm sick and tired of all the sexist conservatives talking about Couillard's dress... or accusing the Liberals of that, more accurately. No Liberal MP commented on her choice of dress - neither did the NDP. It was the media - the mostly conservative-owned media, I might add, that was infatuated with her dress from day one...WesternGrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658358114507615351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-78895671595228620432008-05-28T19:13:00.000-04:002008-05-28T19:13:00.000-04:00To anonymous at 6:45 -I'd heard that too. Several ...To anonymous at 6:45 -<BR/><BR/>I'd heard that too. Several weeks ago the Canadian Press reported, "Couillard is listed on the website of the Quebec real-estate agents association as working with the Montreal firm Kevlar Real Estate Investments Inc. But when a Canadian Press reporter entered the office and asked for her Thursday, three Kevlar employees retreated into a back room and re-emerged after several minutes to say Couillard had never worked there."<BR/><BR/>She didn't say anything about Kevlar in the TVA interview. But it seems prudent to take everything she says with a great big humongous pinch of salt.Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-57739557690954091302008-05-28T18:45:00.000-04:002008-05-28T18:45:00.000-04:00Jean LaPierre said that they checked out her claim...Jean LaPierre said that they checked out her claims about working in real estate and the company apparently said she never worked for them - if so, how do we know she's telling the truth about anything else?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-44754413444076470782008-05-28T16:11:00.000-04:002008-05-28T16:11:00.000-04:00Perhaps we should know more about the lady's secur...Perhaps we should know more about the lady's security company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-26448595976299224662008-05-28T16:03:00.000-04:002008-05-28T16:03:00.000-04:00Hi Jeff -You're right and I apologise.

I agree with all the questions and concerns you've raised here; I was just saying that in terms of the interest level of most people overseas I suspect its like a train wreck spectacle to many of them.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.com
