At a meeting in the Spice Trader restaurant on Queen St. W. in July 2009, Snowdy said Gillani showed him a series of companies, and claimed that Jaffer and "his wife" had three companies reserved for them, all in Belize.

Further, Gillani claimed Guergis had "a contact in Belize that set everything up."

Snowdy checked and with a simple review of government press releases saw that Guergis had visited Belize in July 2008. Guergis was Secretary of Trade for Foreign Affairs and International Trade at the time.

After the Star published a story last Thursday detailing the Harbour 60 dinner, Snowdy said he realized he should contact the Tory party. Snowdy describes himself as a committed member of that party.

1. We still don't know who hired Snowdy

That's important. Furthermore, if he had information about illegality he should have gone to the police, not the Conservative Party. Going to the PMO just allows for the possibility of political obstruction or interference.

He must know this. Certainly, the Conservative lawyer must know this.

2. Baffling way to run a country.

And Harper seems to be making it worse rather than better with his 'damage control'.
