The emails show that on Sept. 22, one day after a TV report that MacKay had used a Cormorant helicopter to be taken from a private fishing lodge near Gander, N.L., military officials began searching for instances of opposition members using military aircraft.

The officials were particularly interested in a flight Liberal MP Scott Simms took in the same area in January 2011. "Found it," Major Byron Johnson wrote in a message shortly after noon to five other senior military officers, including an officer serving as the Defence Department's liaison with MacKay's office. "Fax is on its way."
"Thanks Byron," replied Major Jay Nelles, before thanking staff for responding on such short notice and describing the request as "a taste of life in Ottawa!!"
MacKay used the information to hit back at Simms in the House of Commons in the following days and weeks, even though the emails show MacKay's office ordered the Jan. 17, 2011 flight to educate Simms about the military's search-and-rescue capabilities.

This is what it looks like when you give a any party a majority, sheer crookedness.
Perhaps the citizens of the country require a real bill of rights that would allow for the prosecution of public servants and elected officials...maybe public crane hangings would work.
It seems as though this government has gotten old and stale in its' first year of its' election mandate and has lost its' ability to govern honestly, or did they not have that abiity in the first place?
Perhaps Peter should step down with Vic. They could start a new party, a party of them.
Not us.
They could call it The Deform Party.
