"...a career limiting move.."

Ya just shoulda let her go Stevo! Excerpts below, commentary mine:

Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt called the medical isotopes crisis "sexy," said she wanted to take credit for fixing it, and expressed doubts about the skills of Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq on a recording obtained by The Chronicle Herald.
...

“You know what? Good. Because when we win on this, we get all the credit. I’m ready to roll the dice on this. This is an easy one. You know what solves this problem? Money. And if it’s just about money, we’ll figure it out. It’s not a moral issue.” [sociopathic then?]

“No,” says Ms. MacDonnell. “The moral and ethical stuff around it are just clear.” [yeah, we can see that.]

...

“They did it at the Canadian Council of (Chief) Executives, there was three presidents of major banks who stood up in the room — and this is not from cabinet so I can talk about it — stood up and said, ‘Ignatieff, don’t you even think about bringing us to an election,’” said Ms. Raitt. [Can you start calling yourselves fascists now?]

“'We don’t need this. We have no interest in this. And we will never fund your party again.’ That was very powerful. So he heard it from very powerful people in the industry. He was definitely muzzled.”

This is beyond some mere spinning. This little recording demonstrates beyond doubt just how these festering sacks of offal think and operate. The isotope crisis was never about medical shortages, it was about the fucking ego of petty little Minster and her gossiping assistant. It doesn't even matter what the bankers actually said to Iggy; the mere fact Raitt and her goon took pleasure in the unmitigated hijacking of Canadian democracy by a bunch of bankers tells the entire country exactly where the Conservative party's loyalties and interests rest! [Not that we the unConservative haven't been saying this for years...]

This has just gone nuclear. Own it Stevo.
