We have Leo Housakos' good buddy, Tom Pentefountas, who has zero qualifications, and the Conservatives gave him the vice-chair of the CRTC. We have Margaret F. Delisle, appointed to the National Battlefields Commission. Her qualification? Oh, right, she is the sister of Michael Fortier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2846700\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Conservatives promised they were going to clean up Ottawa, but instead it is the same old pork barrel, rum bottle politics. Why are they trying to undermine the accountability act?</p>",

Oh, c'est vrai, elle est la s\u0153ur de Michael Fortier.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2846700\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Les conservateurs ont promis de faire le m\u00e9nage au gouvernement; or, ils pratiquent la m\u00eame politique de l'assiette au beurre, la m\u00eame politique client\u00e9liste.
