Since the Duffy Scandal faded away, I'd be hard pressed to name three persons sitting in the Canadian Senate...Duff, Hugh Segal... and I think David Frum's sister, if I'm not mistaken. I had no idea there was a Senator Joseph Day.
But there is! He's been toiling in obscurity since being appointed by that lovable little guy from Shawinigan way back in 2001. Apparently that was a reward for his having tried and failed five times to win a seat for the Liberals in New Brunswick, and he was due to retire when he hits the mandatory retirement age of 75 next year.
So Joe goes 0 for 5 in his political career and then spends nineteen quiet years in the Senate, and would have disappeared without a trace, were it not for the fact that he has accidentally uncorked a bit of geopolitical turmoil in Europe. Seems that Senator Day, in his capacity as a member of a NATO committee, leaked the secret locations in Belgium, Germany, Italy and Turkey where the US stores its nuclear weapons!
Thank-you Senator Day! European anti-nuke protesters now know for sure where they should picket!
