Okay, so Wajid Kahn has crossed the floor to sit as a member of the Conservative Caucus. Unlike what happened when Belinda Stronach crossed the floor, I'm not going to dwell on Mr. Kahn's allegiances, lack of them, or the morality of his sex life. In fact, I'll congratulate Mr. Harper on a well executed recruitment of Mr. Kahn. It was subtle, well planned, and a well done piece of political maneuvering.
However, the double standard of the Harper Conservatives amazes me. For a party that claims to be "more principled" than everybody else, and swore up and down last election to "bring a more honest, open and accountable" government to Canadians, it amazes me that he can stand up and brag about floor crossing MPs - especially after the to-do made about Belinda Stronach's defection.
Please, Mr. Harper, can you tell us the fairy tale about "Honest Politicians" again?
