The House of Commons opposition parties appear to be
circling the Harper wagon with increased enthusiasm. While I can understand their
zest with what they may believe are circumstances in support of their quest for
a Harper ‘gotcha’ moment, they should also be devoting more of their energy to
addressing the business of government.
Although it may be a challenge to believe that the Prime
Minister was not aware of what was going on with the Duffy file, as long as
there’s no direct evidence implicating his involvement we need to provide him
that benefit of doubt. With that in mind however, it does suggest a possibility
that those around him in the PMO may have wanted to shield him from a file that
had the potential to become a nasty affair, which it has. From my perspective,
there are concerns that some political staffers may be placing an unwarranted amount
of influence trying to direct outcomes in areas where they have no business and
for that the Prime Minister must assume responsibility.
When all is said and done regarding what Mr. Harper may or
may not have known, we should not lose sight of why we are at this point and
that is because there were those who allowed their sense of entitlement to
trump what was morally ethical.
