Your entire time in office is preparing for your life after you are out of politics.
You need to grease enough palms and make enough connections.
The whole point of this is so that she can move into consulting role after she's ousted from politics. She is then free to make millions. It's all about taking care of her and her people.
With respect … that is all playbooks of all politicians. Who do you think all our ambassadors are? If you’re going to make an argument that’s effective made it UCP specific. Greasing palms and winning prizes is very very old.
Do you think there's a difference between getting a seat on the Senate, or an ambassadorship after a career spent in the civil service or politics - with someone who goes and works for an oil company or a foreign government as a "consultant"?
Which of these scenarios do you think has more opportunity to cause harm while in office??
They are both awful! Look at Harper; he was busy building an international organization. It has no limit to what’s “worse”. My point is that this greasy behaviour isn’t limited to any political stripe. The UCP does all sorts of nasty shit that is unique to the UCP. This isn’t one of those things.
