Something Doesn't Add Up.

There is a striking difference between the Prime Minister's Offices biography of Peter MacKay regarding his career path circa 1991-1993, and Wikipedia's. Allow me to table both.

Wikipedia's:

After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Acadia University in 1987, MacKay then studied Law at Dalhousie University and was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in June 1991. He worked as a lawyer for the law firm of Thyssen Henschel in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and in Düsseldorf and Kassel, Germany. For those of you unfamiliar with these companies, they both have heavy ties to Karl Schreiber, who by the way was bailed out of jail in 1999 by two former cabinet Minister's, Marc Lalonde and Elmer MacKay, Peter's father.

Here is how the Prime Minster's Office sees it:

After graduating with an arts degree from Acadia University in 1987, he went on to study law at Dalhousie University. He was called to the Nova Scotia Bar in June 1991.

With strong family ties to the local area, he returned to New Glasgow to open a private law practice specializing in criminal and family law. In 1993, he accepted an appointment as Crown Attorney for the Central Region of Nova Scotia. He prosecuted cases at all levels, including youth and provincial courts as well as the Supreme Court of Canada.

Isn't that nice, instead of being a hired consultant to international defence contractor (Not a bad piece on a resume for a Defence Minister), he had an store front law firm with a little bell ring when you opened the door, and helping old ladies in slip and fall cases. Not really what you would expect from a future Minister of Defence. Could it be that he got the job with the defence contractor from an individual who is in some hot water right now, Karl Schreiber.

Harpocrits, even on their government websites they need to shield the truth.
