Cadscam: The Proof Is The Proof... Is STILL The Proof...

(Note Nixon-like Image, "I'm not a crook")

So this morning I wake up to news about Donna Cadman's continued interest in running for the Cons, and her thoughts on "what it would take" to get there... We also hear about Harper with his threat of a lawsuit...

Thing is... the proof is still the proof, or so to speak. We have tape recordings of Conservative Party members - including this PM - talking about financial considerations with Mr. Cadman, not to mention the "on the record" comments in the book. This merits further investigation.

Mr. Harper is threatening a lawsuit because he is pushing to force an election, and wants this thing to be held back by the courts until at least when the election is over. A Conservative Majority would buy Harper and his henchmen another 4 to (probably) 5 years. The threatened court action will give enough people the opportunity to say, "no comment", or "this is in the hands of the courts", until the election is gone.

As Liberals, we need to ensure that the public is apprised of every part of what appears to be some pretty heinous activities. It is to the benefit of the Canadian public that we DO NOT force an election on this issue, and take the time to ensure Parliament hears every bit of evidence in this shady story. The Cons, of course, will want to force an election as soon as possible.

As we say, "the proof is the proof...", and there seems to be plenty of that right now...
