Blackberry recall

One of the many alleged sins of Rahim Jaffer and Helena Guergis included his use of his wife's  Parliament-issued blackberry.

Apparently, however, this isn't all that unusual in political families on Parliament Hill.

How do we know this? Because "reminders" were   issued at the Conservative and Liberal caucuses this morning -- ie, if your husband or wife has one of the three BlackBerries you were issued, hand it over. Apparently the rules were never all that clear. But now they are.

Speaking of Green Funds:

Whatever happened to the investigation into Conservative MPs Lee Richardson's company? Last month it was revealed that his company got a $185,000 grant from a Government of Canada green fund...

And Gail Shea, Fisheries Minister, her son-in-law got a $20-million government grant for "Green" windpower company: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1177007.html

Something smells fishy...

These two have had their day in the sun , and are past their best before date. I will extend a " thanks for playing " but do not let the door hit them in their collective rears on the way out , I would not want to add injury to their embarrasement and insult.

Blackberry recall - what about the recent Justice recall??? ( http://fairwhistleblower.ca/content/richard-colvins-catch-22 ) The catch, for the civil servant (Richard Colvin), is he can't talk about information the government has censored. Even if it could vindicate him.
