Raitt-gate rocks Tories –Toronto Star, June 4/09.

I have no fondness for Harper and the Conservatives, but let's be fair in our comparisons: Maxime Bernier, personally, left a confidential government file (with international implications) in his girlfriend’s apartment, forgetting about it; Lisa Raitt’s press secretary left confidential documents with financial (domestic) information at the CTV studio. Ms Raitt should be able to have confidence that such things be handled properly by her staff.

Ignatieff does not “like blaming 26-year-olds”. What has her age got to do with it? She was 26 –rather mature, really –and holding an important, responsible job while acting irresponsibly. She should be fired. –end of story.
