The F-35 costs were (more than) double what MacKay and the Conservatives told the public. The books used to track expenses for the jets were doubled. The books for Fantino’s CPC Vaughn campaign are alleged to have been doubled. Bruce Carson, Harper’s trusted PMO adviser, was a two time convict.
For the Minister of Defence and his lying underlings, double their penalties. Wait. Doubling zero doesn’t work. What will?
This military ‘project’ is starting to look more and more like a pork-barrel corporate welfare contract for the Conservative Party’s ‘creditors’. Though nothing can be proven, it so far carries all of the elements: sole-sourced, well hidden paper trail, enourmous secrecy… prehaps another Airbus scam hidden in plain sight?
This should be investigated far more thoroughly.
Looks like in the rush to partisan judge, typical of robohacks, there seems to be an ovelooking of reality… “Ottawa – Bank documents that purport to show Caribbean bank accounts in the name of associate defence minister Julian Fantino have a number of problems, according to a U.S. banking expert, which suggests the minister may be the victim of a forger.” http://www.nationalpost.com/Fantino+alleged+Caribbean+accounts+forged+expert/6534700/story.html
Create a robosmear and just keep doubling it!!!! ;)
Those particular documents don’t explain why a 2nd bank account came up at a CPC Vaughn meeting, even if they are allegedly faked by someone.
It’s not often that 3 CPC members at an EDA would decide to risk their reputations to take on their own party on corruption allegations. It should make you wonder at least what’s going on.
