Things just pile up...Mulroney and death penalty

Boss Harp has taken to the road this week to spread government largesse across the land. But the controversies just continue to pile up.
There is the ridiculous "decision" to not push Canadians' long-held view that the death penalty is just wrong. Last week's sanctimony and attempt by Tubby Van Loan to make this a law and order wedgie has been shown to be yet another half-truth from the gang that will say or do whatever it takes in their never-ending pursuit of more seats. This week we learn that Canada's Harper Government will also not co-sponsor an anti-death penalty resolution at the United Nations. The whole schmozzle has even journalist-apologists like Lorrie Goldstein up in arms. In the broader picture, Canadians travelling abroad should not expect the Harper world view to ever do anything to assist them should they run afoul of the law. Harper prefers to just wash his hands of any need for consular assistance. Another good job being done by Joe Louis Bernier too!
Then there is the little Mulroney problem bubbling away. Yesterday it became known that Harper Ministers (and probably Harper himself) chose the "see no evil, hear no evil" approach to this thorny little gem. Now even Harper's old buddies the NDippers have joined the chorus of Liberals who have been digging into the decade-old Mulroney settlement for $2 Million Canadian's tax dollars. Even noted Liberal-hater and baiter Chantal Hebert has been asking questions of late!
