Hmm

So Peter MacKay will be replacing defence industry lobbyist Gordon O'Connor as Defence Minister? Why is it all I can think about is this quote from Harper when O'Connor was being slammed for the treatment of detainees in Afghanistan?

Mr. Speaker, once again, the Minister of National Defence is a veteran of the Canadian Forces. He has served this country courageously in uniform for 32 years. When the Leader of the Opposition is able to stand in uniform and serve his country, then I will care about his opinion of the performance of the Minister of National Defence.


So does that mean Harper won't care about his new Defense Minister's opinion? For that matter, how much does Harper care about his own opinion in this matter? Hmm.
