Basically that is exactly what I'm saying. I don't care if you think thats hypocritical either:
-Carson was charged and convicted, working for the PMO directly and lobbying for another company to the federal government for funding
-Layton was "questioned" and nothing ever came of the incident. I'm not even sure that the notes should've become public property (and the OPP is apparently looking into that as well).
I fail to see how having a guy convicted of fie counts of fraud working for you directly (and lobbying, which is a whole other concern) isn't horrible judgment. The Layton case was literally open and closed 15 years ago.
Just for a split second take you partisan blinders off and tell me that the guy who was never charged and never convicted is somehow relevant as compared to the guy who was charged 5 times and lobbied as a close advisor to the PMO?
