It does seem out of character for Stephen Harper to take on a convicted criminal and disbarred lawyer as a senior advisor. That said, I respect the fact the PMO decided to accept that criminals can repent.

OTTAWA—Bruce Carson was convicted on five counts of fraud — three more than previously known — and received court-ordered psychiatric treatment before becoming one of Stephen Harper's closest advisers.
And his lawyer tells The Canadian Press that Carson disclosed his entire criminal record during a security check that was required to become a senior staffer in the Prime Minister's Office.

It's still rather hypocritical of Harper to have taken Carson in, given how he preaches tough on crime, implying there is no room for second chances; not even for 14 year olds. Didn't Vic Toews say something like 'We're not in the business of forgiveness'?
That's not at all what Conservatives "preach". What we want are realistic sentences that include the concept of deterrence. Repntance and reconciliation are very Christian, if you insist on bringing that into the conversation, but so is punishment. As for Vic Toews, the government, the courts especially, are not there for forgiveness.
Oh for god sakes, don't be so naieve people. Harper didn't care about Carson's crim record, he just wanted the man's 'talents'. period. Harper is a criminal, Towes is a criminal, nothing Christian about it, any of it.
Was Harper personally briefed on Carson's convictions?
Wouldn't have been irresponsible of Harper not to have been informed? Ignorance & incompetence aren't valid excuses anonymous
Ah, the Rat, here's someone who wears their name well.
What I mentioned above is exactly what Cons preach.
And obviously, Carson never repented.
"What I mentioned above is exactly what Cons preach."
That's a strong argument bounding with da proofs. Me, a mere Conservative who knows what he thinks can only rebut it one way:
No it's not, nannynanypoopoo
This whole thing with Carson disgusts me. He stole millions from his clients and went to prison and was disbarred. Then years later he was convicted on 3 more counts of fraud. Then he was fraternizing with some women who was deported from the US for running a prostitution ring, even bringing her to Sussex drive. The guy was a lifelong sleazebag, and a thief. And he gets to be an advisor to the PM? It's pathetic. And frankly, somewhat depressing.
