It was all just a silly misunderstanding...TWICE! (en francais)

Seems like 'Mr. Clean' has been having a rough time of it lately.

Oops!

Ban on hiring white men overturned

Deputy minister David Marshall issued a new memo yesterday.

"While the measure proposed last week was short term and not intended to be a ban on hiring individuals from non-designated groups, it could well lead to this impression," he said.

"As such, I am rescinding this measure immediately. Please accept my apologies."

Damn!

Brison apologizes for remarks about Harper

In the letter to Harper, which Brison read in the Commons, he says it is not true that Harper contravened federal lobbying law when he was president of the citizens coalition.

Brison also acknowledges that it is not true that Harper's past is littered with examples of questionable if not illegal behaviour, nor has the coalition been charged with any crimes.

Brison had previously withdrawn the accusations in an email to coalition vice-president Gerry Nicholls and in a letter to Harper, but both described those letters as half-baked and Harper and the coalition had threatened to sue.

It's only taken Minister Brison two short years to become a full-fledged member of the Liberal Entitlement Club, ready to do and say anything to hold onto power.

Edit: Make that thrice!

Kiss my ass says Brison
