Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the link. Quite the exchange.
It is the first time I’m aware Moore has denied explicitly there was any list.
He also seems determined not to address The Globe article which states the
PMO asked each Cabinet Minister’s office to make a list. I agree with your sense he seems “ready to pounce”, see Crystal’s tweet above.

Hey Michael,

I had a frustrating exchange with Mr. Moore over this myself (& all I did was link to your post – it’s like the guy was just waiting to pounce!)

For your reading pleasure:

I would really love to have this conversation with Minister Moore via Twitter, but I can not, because I am blocked. If I was able to communicate I would say two things:

No one is saying you sat down with a big pen and said Fee Fi Fo Fum, Who Will I Write On My Big Bad List? We also assume you don’t do your own photocopying.

A wide variety of media has commented on a July 4 2013 memo from the PMO regarding “enemy stakeholders” lists to be created for new Ministers, of which you were one. That’s why the NDP mailer arrived at your place with that phrase on the envelope. If you think about that, it’s pretty messed up you would then blame someone else these lists causing an atmosphere of fear.

Michael, it was false, a total lie, mindless and childish of you to make such ridiculous claims about the goings-on in our federal government. You know what you said is untrue, and yet you said it anyway!

There isn’t and never was binders. They used Duo-tangs…

Rob,

I know you enjoy being a contrarian sometimes, but this surprises me.

The only reason we can’t tell you who is on this list is because the government refuses to comment “about internal communications”. But we do have proof that these documents were ordered to be created as part of the shuffle. I mean, even Peter Kent believes they exist. You do not?

Or course the list was made by staff, for use by Ministers.

If anyone thinks this is pure paranoia, click the link under the Franke James picture. That this government keeps lists of artists and actively engages in censoring them is a matter of record and not opinion.

Gotta side with Moore on this one. Nothing in any of the reports suggests he made an enemies list and/or passed it on to successors or PMO. The reports only suggest that the PMO asked for on to be prepared.
