The fallout from the Chalk River bungling by Homer Harper and his ministers continues to grow. A sampling of headlines from today:
Minister's timeline queried
Toronto Star–A Liberal MP is demanding to know when Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn knew about the severity of the problems at the Chalk River nuclear ...
Clement promises answers on shutdown Globe and Mail
Clement promises answers on reactor shutdown Canada.com
Tories caught in isotope fiasco fallout Globe and Mail
What is missing from all this?
Gary Lunn, of course!
He would only be THE minister responsible for AECL...he has been AWOL for some time now. He has been "Buckled Up" as the saying goes around Boss Harp's PMO. A sure sign he is in BIG trouble...just ask Goner O'Connor. No doubt his good friend and "angel", the Hon. (used VERY loosely) John Reynolds, is doing all he can to save the Mini-min's Cabinet hide.
Meanwhile, it is now the Health Minister who is promising to get to the bottom of this. That could be problematic in itself. Anyone from Ontario would know that having any of Mike Harris' Nonsense Revolutionists in charge of a regulatory-oriented file is a very scary thought. It was the Harris team that brought us Walkerton, after all. And now Four Horsemen of the Harris Apocalypse sit around Boss Harp's very own Cabinet table. And an impressive lot they are...Johnboy Baird, Flipper Flaherty, Cementhead Clement and Tubby Van Loan. In fairness, Van Loan was not a Harris minister...he was just President of the Ontario Tory Party that came up with policies that axed water inspectors.
Good luck Steve...

He's probably around its just you need to look down, way down to find him.
It is possible that he may have been trampled in a rush of Tories fleeing through the back doors of parliament.
Jay...that's too funny. Do they still call out for Lunn to "stand up" "stand up" in the House?
