The real problem with Harpers leadership is the story from Harper keeps changing and he won't answer direct questions about on of his former employees. That is why he is being a poor leader regardless of his involvement. Good leaders can hire bad people but they fix problems and are transparent about it.

This is a little different though. When you hire people who are bad it doesn't mean you're bad, I'll agree to that. But when you have your staff running around violating the law, trying to sweep everything under the rug it is concerning. It looks like this wasn't a 'rogue operative' kind of scenario, but the culture in one of the most powerful offices in the country.
Of course that reflects badly. Harper appointed everyone in question, and at some point firing a staffer isn't going to cut it.

That is definitely interesting. He made a point to say 'at least' as well. It wasn't a slip of the tongue or anything. Part of the issue the Conservatives have here is that Duffy is a good showman. He knows exactly how to play to the media.
