    Should this be headed – 'Harper Welcomes Corruption'? Is Macleans going wobbly or what?

    harper supporter reads latest EKOS poll ! -

    • gottabesaid

      Must be one of those Harper supporters who doesn't realize the EKOS poll will see his party drop by about the same amount next week… then go up again… then go down again… then go up again… then go down again…

        There's the proof that Fantino actually did have something else to do other than debate and talk about the issues…

    Kory! Kory! Kory! Kory!

    {Btw how did that BHP Billiton potash gig work out?)

    • Patchouli

      I think we all know the answer to that. But where is the Boy Wonder now?

        Change room at D'Arcy McGees?

    Clearly Bonhomme will get a lot more done on the global warming file… you know, considering his livelihood is at stake! Excellent choice PM Harper!

    • Patchouli

      his very life is at stake. If he melts, he hasn't got the job done.

        But it's a clear conflict of interest.

    There was truly, snow other choice!

    • Jan

      Snowbody else was available? He's clearly pandering for Quebec votes.

    I share the prime minister's discomfort with mascots. Look at him, he's obviously just enduring this until he gets his majority and then whammo, Bill Deep Six an Act to Control Mascots.

    Too funny!!! Where is his Carnaval Cane? He may need it.

    If the photo is any indication, his first job is to drop-kick climate change with a smile on his face.

    Anybody else have a sudden urge to buy Michelin tires? I can't explain it.

    Bonhome is very lucky he is not a Kitten – OR ELSE Stevie boy would have eaten him :)

    Bonhomme shows the PM the secret cash compartment in his boot.

      Now can I have that renovation contract, please?

    Ohh shucks it is Joseph Montferrand in disguise!

  • LdKitchenersOwn

    I thought Soudas was appearing in public too often lately for his own good.

    The bailiff will never find him in that disguise!

    • madeyoulook

      I had a feeling you'd beat me to that line…

  • Sigh

    Bonhomme describes to the PM his experience with going through airport security.

  • Mike T.

    Now Dance, Clement! Dance, or the muzzle gets tighter!

    How is this news?

    • Emily

      This is a blog site, not a news site.

      However Bon Homme was lobbying Harper for arena funding for Quebec.

  • LaxAtlDfwYow

    Come on Steve, just give him a cheque and he'll be on his way.
