History will judge

Wouldn't it be cool if it turned out that David Emerson actually were Stephen Harper's worst enemy -- if he were a mole, working to topple the new government from within? He would have to stand by, to hear himself called oathbreaker and worse, and offer only the most facile of justifications, because to truly defend himself would be to blow his cover, and undo all his careful work. He would do it for his country, and cry only in private.

Alas, it doesn't seem very likely.
