"Once the toothpaste is out of the tube it's going to be very hard to get it back in." - H.R."Bob" Haldeman
That is a Watergate reference.
Stephen Harper - ever the opportunist and at times, plagiarizer - deployed that quote when describing the political situation in Egypt during the Arab Spring when Mubarak stepped down, throwing his authoritarian regime into a tailspin.
We are reminded these days by the spectacle unfolding in the Senate and in the House of Commons, with regard to allegations of criminal fraud, corruption, collusion and subversion of the Parliamentary process, how perfectly appropriate that analogy is.
And we salute Corporal Greg Horton, one brave individual RCMP officer who has rigorously pursued this criminal investigation, interviewing many hostile or fearful people, and finally, sifting through hundreds of documents and an ocean-sized cesspool of obfuscations to shine the light of justice upon some very ugly CPC machinations.
At this point, some in the media are playing it coy, aware that the teflon-coated Harper may yet walk away unbesmirched by the volcanic eruption of shit his Con government has produced.

Harper's hard core T-Party North supporters aren't going to budge given the comments I see posted on news articles. Much like Ford Nation, he would need to be proven guilty of raping and murdering pretty white children before they budge. Criminal activity is OK with this crowd as long as it doesn't cost the taxpayer and especially honourable if it saves the taxpayer money.
