The new Minister of Public Works and Government Services

With all the hub-ub around Michael Fortier, perhaps people are missing the possible reason WHY Prime Minister Stephen Harper made the very risky move of appointing him to the Seneate and to Cabinet. I've just taken a look at his brief bio on the PM's website...
The Honourable Michael Fortier
Minister of Public Works and Government Services

Michael Fortier is a financier and lawyer in Montreal, Quebec.

As a partner at Ogilvy Renault, he specialized in securities, mergers and acquisitions. From 1992 to 1996, he managed Ogilvy Renault’s office in London, England. In 1999, he became the Managing Director and Senior Advisor (Eastern Canada) at Crédit Suisse First Boston, the largest business bank in the world. In 2004, Mr. Fortier became Corporate Financing Director (Quebec) for TD Securities.
Take a look at his background... HE'S A NUMBERS GUY, AND A LAWYER TO BOOT. A lawyer who's good with numbers, running the Public Works department?

Humm... with all the investigations that have come out of that office in the last 10 years, could it be that Mr. Harper is thinking LONG TERM? You can bet that he's gonna be digging up a whole lot of skeletons from in there!!! No WONDER the Libs are crying foul over the appointment... CAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING TO THEM POLITICALLY!!!

    The power of rationalization by the true believer Tory is a marvel to behold! A mind so focused that it can bend principles like spoons.

    The non-democratic appointment of a backroom political bagman transformed into the antidote to backroom politics.

    Swept in by the winds of integrity and accoutability.

    No, what I said was "Let's wait and see". If my ideas turn out to be wrong, then so be it, but let's wait and see what Harper has in mind before we run him through.

    Interesting when an anonymous comment can be so critical and remain anonymous?When I start to blog I will not come up anon...for now I leave my VF on each comment.
    As the dust settles and more info is coming out we know that when our Prime Minister made these decisions he knew exactly what would happen, and that he had his reasons. The ones who got so rattled and ran will be chewing on their negative comments. Deborah Gray said it on CPAC Feb.6...Mr. Harper has he reasons, even if we don't understand right away.You(anon) can call it rationalizing, I call it trust.VF

    Of course Harper has 'reasons', everybody has 'reasons' for everything they do. Nobody has suggested he drew names out of a hat. Of course he has reasons, it's the REASONS that are the problem.
