It's the cover-up, stupid

Tory cabinet minister, Jean-Pierre Blackburn has been trying to hide some of his travel expenses. I don't think anyone begrudges him his traveling, Canada is a far-flung place. What is disturbing is that Blackburn was apparently trying to hide it. Peter Van Loan seems to think that it was no big deal, if that's the case, why hide it? What else is being hidden? Another case of Conservative waste, mismanagement, and corruption?

Military Contracts Under Investigation

Here it is (via Bourque) the military police are now investigating irregularities in military contracts. I wonder how far such an investigation will go? Is it any surprise that this is happening under a government that made a defence industry lobbyist the Minister of Defence?

Right now they appear to be looking at series of transportation contracts, but who knows what they might find when they start looking at the really big sole-source contracts that the Conservatives have been announcing like they're going out of style.

Another possible case of Conservative waste, mismanagement and corruption.
