Max tells all?

Maxime Bernier, the horn-dog of Canada's Greatest GovermentTM, has told an audience of his loyal followers in his home riding of Beauce, that the Julie Couillard misunderstanding was not a misunderstanding... it was a plot to get him.

“Did Ms. Couillard inform me of her past ties with people involved in organized crime? The answer is no. She did not inform, and no one else ever informed me, at any level. I knew of her past exactly what she wanted to tell me,” claims Maxie.

His dad, former MP Gilles Bernier, goes the extra step for poor Maxie. "It was certainly a trick,” he exclaims. So why did Maxie have to resign if he was set up? Dad says, "In the heat of the moment, he was forced to. He had no choice." Boo Hoo!

Got to admit though, Dad makes a better case than does Maxie.

Dad defends the misplacement of the so-called secret documents with this quip, "... he did not even know the nature of the documents." 'Scuse me? The cabinet minister did not know the nature of the documents in his red box?

But that is a better excuse than Maxie comes up with. "The level of importance of these briefing notes did not justify them being numbered so their disappearance would be noticed or they could be tracked." He seems to be claiming that he did know the nature of the documents. Is he saying that Dad is wrong?

So let's cut to the chase in this issue.

Max Bernier took Julie Couillard to visit with the GG, the PM and the rest of the Con cabinet to view his swearing in. And no one checked out Ms Couillard before the ceremony. Fire the RCMP.

Then Maxie took Julie overseas on a government jet and no one bothered to check her out? Fire the RCMP and PMO.

Maxie's department did not number the briefing notes he left in Julie's playroom. Fire his department.

Maxie's dad is making up lies to cover for his son. Fire Gilles, or at least cut off his pension.

According to Bernier, Julie is the blame for this set-up. She must be a spy so make her go away.

The only innocent person in this whole sordid affair is... wait for it... Maxime Bernier!

How cruel was it of the PM to demand his resignation?
