Larry's been charged

Mayor Larry O'Brien has been charged with two criminal counts with respect to the Kilrea misunderstanding. Should he step aside as mayor until this case winds its way through the courts?

According to the voice of raisins (correct spelling), Michael Harris at CFRA, he should resign. On his program this afternoon, Harris, cited case histories from Lower Podunk and East-Central Mongolia, to support his assertion that Larry is guilty until he is proved innocent.

I disagree, as usual. What Larry does is entirely up to Larry and only Larry.

While on the Larry subject, does anyone else notice the number of Cons being mentioned in this investigation.

John "the screamer" Baird's lunch habits are up for examination. He was apparently having lunch with a constituent at Hy's when he was seen in the presence of Mayor Larry. How come we can't know the identity of the constituent? And who paid for lunch?

Pierre Poilievre's communication guy's name has been raised as someone who might know something in the case.

Now it appears that Lisa McLeod, the mighty Con MPP, may be an accessory after the fact in this affair. According to the Ottawa Citizen, she knew about a $20 or 30,000 offer to Kilrea by Mayor Larry, but forgot to mention it.

I wonder if the Ottawa Citizen has calculated how many extra newspapers have been purchased since they broke this fetid story?
