Scheer's expenses fiasco is a many faceted embarrassment for the Conservatives

The lifeblood of the Conservative is fleecing all of the senior citizens across the country $20 at a time.  They extort this money by ginning up fake stories to rile up those with a predilection to outrage.  For this to continue, they must have faith that the money is being wisely spent to attack the evil Liberals and bring about the nirvana of a hard right government.  Everything must be and seen to be above board.

Harper, for the most part, deftly handled this requirement.  Scheer on the other hand...Yikes.  This might have been the final straw.  Perhaps it only accelerated an eventual reckoning at the convention.  Concern that he may have inappropriately accessed $900,000 in funds donated  by granny?  Scheer lays bare the myth of the ethical Conservative.

But what does this say about the managerial competence of the senior Conservative leadership.  That is supposed to be their calling card with both the donator class and the corporate world.  That Scheer might have misappropriated $900k of party funds shows a shocking ly poor level of governance.  And who is on the board of the Conservative Fund?  Stephen Harper.  The managerial genius some Conservatives desperately pine for.allowed this to happen.  Not a good look on Harper.

All in all, this is the Conservatives in a nutshell.Recommend this Post
