Why Bob Dechert kept his job
No mere backbencher, the Tory elder played a key role in returning the party to power

CSIS officials both exonerate and ridicule Bob Dechert.

Kate is pregnant (or not), Diamond is engaged (again), and Manning gets a new uniform (of sorts)

Shi Rong’s emails suggest something more than a friendship with Bob Dechert. Wesley Wark sees a cautionary message and J. Michael Cole says some Chinese correspondents are selected by the Ministry of State Security, but Mark Bourrie says there’s not much to worry about. Paul Dewar thinks Mr. Dechert should offer his resignation, but Joe Comartin isn’t calling for Mr. Dechert to be removed from the committee vetting potential Supreme Court appointees.
‘Love, Bob’
