Christmas patronage king

PM Steve decided to spread the holiday cheer a little early this year. In a move of which Brian Mulroney would certainly approve, Steve appointed a truckload of cronies to patronage appointments, some on the same day as his much talked about FAA comes into force.

As Mulroney famously said to John Turner, "you had an option sir", but this move reminds me that he also said "There's no whore, like an old whore".

Merry Christmas Steve from the rest of us - we'll remember this.
