Just as Stephen Harper's last cabinet shuffle was largely concerned with accommodating the demotion of Gordon O'Connor, yesterday's was narrowly in response to the departure of Maxime Bernier. That Mr. Harper's ambitions were so limited is a good thing. As it stands, there have now been three cabinet shuffles in the past 18 months. It is hard to see how a major overhaul would have benefited the administration...

This morning I went to a campaign breakfast for Brian McGarry, the local Tory candidate for Ottawa-Centre. The guest speaker was Gordon O’Connor, the revenue minister, whose first remark was to ask if there were any cellphones or camcorders pointing at him because he didn’t want anything to haunt him 17 years from now.

Gary Lunn is now officially the new Gordon O'Connor. Yesterday's story that Lunn knew back in September about the Chalk River problems easily puts him next in line to lose his job. He had the nerve to pen an attack letter on Linda Keen (President of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission) that she effortlessly refuted in full and now the Auditor General has said that he hasn't been truthful about what...

This morning, along with a corporate tax form, this little piece of information arrived in the mail. (Click to enlarge) I don't mind information, but the propaganda nature of this little blue slip of paper is more than just factual information. The Canada Revenue Agency, in its role of dealing with taxpayers, cannot assume a position of determining what does or does not benefit those taxpayers. It...

This is completely ridiculous. It is, as the quoted experts call it, an outrage.And it goes to show that if you are persistent enough, and whine loudly enough, sooner or later a cabinet minister incompetent enough to meet your unreasonable demands just might come around. Enter Gordon O'Connor, now a bumbling fool in both departments he's managed to lead.Here's the law. And here's his abominable intervention....

Some people believe that Gordon O'Connor, former Minister of National Defence got a raw deal and thus didn't get the credit due for having accomplished so many good works. Those people are entitled to their opinion, but it might help, if one is to list all those dandy accomplishments , to shed them in a proper light. First and foremost is the role of the Minister of National Defence. That role is...
