The RCMP launched an investigation into the contract to LM Sauvé earlier this year, looking in particular at the nature of the relations between LM Sauvé and a long-time Conservative supporter and business relations adviser, Gilles Varin.

Shakeyhands Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Deflect what? It's a pathetic attempt to turn the focus on to the Liberals and what they may or may not 'sling'. This is a conservative baby, and they'll have to deal with it, not bring up the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribblet Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 You might want to check on the facts, Varin has not been a member of the party for over 10 years and is not an 'organizer' or anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeyhands Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) You might want to check on the facts, Varin has not been a member of the party for over 10 years and is not an 'organizer' or anything else. well not exactly... Conservative Quebec lieutenant Christian Paradis acknowledged in the House that he attended a party fundraiser last year that featured a number of people working on a $9-million contract on Parliament Hill.According to information obtained by The Globe and Mail and Radio-Canada, Paul Sauvé, the president of construction firm LM Sauvé, helped the Conservative association in the riding of Bourassa to organize the event in January, 2009. and a party card means very little, as you know. edit to add link -> http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/construction-firm-president-hosted-tory-minister-at-fundraiser/article1745670/ Edited October 6, 2010 by Shakeyhands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribblet Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The fundraiser was after the contract, no problem there. There's nothing here, it's all about making hay out of nothing, because the opposition has nothing else to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capricorn Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 and a party card means very little, as you know. Right. If you wanted, you could obtain a membership card from every single party. Actually, some people do just to receive mailouts aimed strictly at a party's membership. The downside is you also get bombarded with requests for contributions from every one of them.

Actually scribblet, the facts as we know them so far are flimsy. I'm willing to let the RCMP investigation take its course before assigning blame. Not surprising, anti-Harperites here have already found the government guilty although I do appreciate the consistency of their message. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the guy who replaced Sauve to complete the work turned out to be a Liberal supporter and contributor to the Liberal party and (gulp) from Quebec.

Topaz Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 What was reveal on CTV today, was the money being paid to one guy to the other, came from motorcyle gang, where the guy had to go and borrow the money.

punked Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I am reminded of a old paraphrase from Huey Long: "Yah I steal from you just like the other guys but you know when I do it I am going to take less and I am going to put it into your roads and schools." No excuses the Tories are wrong, but I don't know if it is the Liberals place to point fingers after their past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
