This must-read comes from an unlikely source—a columnist not known for being conservative-friendly at all.
It’s Michael Harris and his column at the Ottawa Sun (Sun Media).
I used to think that the funniest thing that Paul Martin ever did was sending Christmas cards to a dead dog in Victoria who had somehow managed to get on the corporate mailing list.
But then he went one better: He said that Stephen Harper wasn’t fit to run for the office of prime minister.
The occasion for that remark, a difference of opinion on same-sex marriage, is not the interesting part of the assertion. Paul Martin has been slicing political bologna for so long I’m sure he thinks it’s foie gras.
But his comment about the Conservative leader implies that he, Mr. Martin, is fit to run for the highest office in the land. It got me to wondering what he could mean.
Could it have been the way he handled the built-in conflict of interest of being the owner of CSL [his Canada Steamship Lines] at the same time as he was finance minister? I guess it depends on how you view the facts.
