Young Petey's employment with Schreiber client Thyssen is going to rear its head. Norman Spector has an interesting revelation, too, wrt Mulroney demanding a deal w/ Thyssen despite much offial resistance.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-38374934625153274972007-11-29T23:10:00.000-05:002007-11-29T23:10:00.000-05:00I think the focus on the 17 cents is spin.

It connects the current defence minister to a cover-up of cash payments to a former PM of his party. With some digging, we may find that there was more to Peter MacKay's involvement than a fax. Or maybe not.Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-67406564945931012322007-11-24T17:54:00.000-05:002007-11-24T17:54:00.000-05:00JB - that's been in the news forever.Also makes yo...JB - that's been in the news forever.<BR/><BR/>Also makes you wonder why Peter still won't reveal his leadership donors, who paid his debts after the party merger, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-14515170489500235142007-11-24T17:00:00.000-05:002007-11-24T17:00:00.000-05:00Hmmm... 17 cents, eh?

Even if there is a smoking gun, the 17 cents thing probably puts it in a category with small-town cheap golf balls or an infamous package of chewing gum. <BR/><BR/>The $100,000 bail bond is significant and under-reported, IMO.JimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-46412714529467550552007-11-24T16:46:00.000-05:002007-11-24T16:46:00.000-05:00Hi Jimbobby -I'm not so sure it's a smoking gun, b...Hi Jimbobby -<BR/><BR/>I'm not so sure it's a smoking gun, but it's widely reported. <BR/><BR/>For example, "Last year, the elder MacKay was caught using his son’s constituency resources to send a letter berating the RCMP for its investigation into Mr. Schreiber" (http://www.liberal.ca/story_13002_e.aspx).<BR/><BR/>Or: "November 2006 - Mulroney's former solicitor general, Elmer MacKay, agrees to reimburse federal government 17 cents for sending the RCMP a fax from son Peter MacKay's office in defence of Schreiber" (http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_16761.aspx).Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23053767.post-87381076629849594022007-11-24T16:00:00.000-05:002007-11-24T16:00:00.000-05:00As late as 2006, Elmer used Peter MacKay's constit...<I>As late as 2006, Elmer used Peter MacKay's constituency office resources to try to force the RCMP to back down in its investigation of Schreiber.<BR/></I><BR/><BR/>Whooee! Have you got documentation on that? This would be a smoking gun connecting the Harper government to Schreiber.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.com
