This blog gets credit (from me, at least) for reminding us of this Globe article , where we’re shown background information on ‘secret’ documents that reveal once again, that Pinocchio, er Stephen Harper, is incapable of telling the truth. ‘Backroom’ deals with ‘separatists’ were being made then by your members in 2000 and in 2004, Steve.  They are no different from what is happening now, […]
