Another dirty trick: re the new book "The Secrets of Option Canada"
Edited on Mon Jan-09-06 02:50 PM by glarius
Supposedly giving details of the mishandling of funds, the book by Quebec investigative journalist Normand Lester, an avowed separatist came out today. Yesterday, I saw him interviewed a few times on TV, and today Robin Philpot is suddenly coming forth as the co-author of the book...The reason why he seems to be replacing Lester to speak about it is possibly because Philpot speaks English without an accent, unlike Lester who speaks with a decidedly French accent....Perhaps they think this will give it more credibily with English Canada....This is all so sleazy and I just have such a feeling that somehow or other the Harper gang, and his "advisors" is behind it....Maybe I'm starting to get paranoid!

1. It is the separatists behind this, I have no doubt
I don't think the faux Cons have a hand in this only because the separatists don't need them. The faux Cons, however, will be quoting extensively from the book I have NO doubt and the Libs and NDP need to point out that the Cons are in bed with the separatists yet again every time they try and quote from the book.

2. I heard someone (Liberal) trying to answer the charges by saying that
the separatists had some sort of a slush fund or illegal fund in Quebec, at the same time as Option Canada....It wasn't too clear, but it seems that the Separatists hands were not clean themselves....
