Stephen Harper

Stephen Harper: Harper has repeated that mantra time and again his former chief of staff cut a $90,000 cheque to the disgraced former Conservative senator on his own, without the prime ministers knowledge, according to The Star. It helps, as well, if some of those involved could be considered especially close to the prime minister, so that they might be known generically as Harper loyalists and OTTAWA In his bid to survive the Nigel Wright-Mike Duffy affair, Stephen Harper has clung assiduously to the lone gunman theory. The best way to destabilize the Harper argument is to involve as many others players as possible, making it appear to be a conspiracy in the Prime Ministers Office and beyond, making it increasingly impossible for Canadians to believe this elaborate operation could have unfolded without Harper knowing what was happening in his own office.
