First, let me be clear. I thoroughly dislike Stephen Harper- few people would be happier to see him thrown out of office.

I’ve been holding off on this story for a while- wasn’t sure where it would lead, and thought I’d give it some time to percolate as more information became available. I’ve learned a few things since then- and, along with other stories I’ll publish over the next few days, it appears to have a some …
