     . . . .  Just that Harper & Co seemed to miss the fact that none of   
   them were living in the Provinces they should have been as senate   
   representatives.   
   Or not on an indian reserve.   
      
   Easy enough to miss - considering Pamela Wallin and Mike Duffy had been   
   working in Toronto for years, had residences there, where they   
   entertained a whole lot of rightwing political types over all those   
   years.  Easy to make a residence mistake.

   "Being dishonest" is hardly a criteria for going to jail or being thrown   
   out of the Senate.  It's a QUALIFICATION that Harper looks for in   
   appointees and aides and candidates.
