We Need More

February 29, 2008 @ 08:47

I’ve received several e-mails wanting to know by opinion on the Chuck Cadman story.

He’s the BC Independent MP who passed away in the summer of 2005 from skin cancer.

There’s a story swirling around that the Conservatives offered him a million dollar life insurance policy to vote against a teetering Liberal minority before he died.

I’m going to take some time before I comment on this one. Get more of the facts, like how does a dying man get a life insurance policy?

As I listen to the Stafford Show right now, there’s an insurance guy explaining how that’s pretty much impossible.

Was there a bribe of another sort? Maybe, but we’ve got to wait and find out.

Meanwhile, enjoy the writings and rantings of Liberals who are blowing huge wads of groin glue over this one while forgetting about adscam, bribing Belinda Stronach with a cabinet position and that little 1993 bribe of eliminating the GST.

But maybe, just maybe the Liberals have jumped the gun on this one and maybe they should have done their homework first, like I plan to do.

And believe me, if there's something to this, then then Harper should have his ass nailed to the wall, very much unlike that crook Jean Chretien.

Meanwhile, if you want to jump right into this thing, you might want to visit Toronto Mike who not surprisingly uses the CBC as a source.

The CBC, now there’s a source of balanced reporting.

Mike is a man torn between the NDP and Liberals, but I still love him.

No ones forgetting all the Liberal screw ups but I knew you'd try to make it the focus. That's not the story here. The story here is that if something stinks, it should be investigated. Harper already stinks though, which is why things like the tar sands and Harper's Alliance Party routes won't ever get mentioned on this blog. I'm also waiting for you to get past the fact that it's possible to be informed yet not identify with any major party. We have three big tools as leaders, and some of us don't support any of them.

As for balanced reporting, well Fred, you cite AM 640 a lot and there's nothing at all balanced about that station.

Another "big case" for media. And again there are some greedy insurance guys in the background. We are dealing with disability insurance in Ontario and I am meeting these stereotypes pretty often in everyday's life and sometimes it's not very pleasant. Especially when some big insurance case is really uncovered...

If true this is even remotely the case, Cadscam may shake the foundation of the Conservative government. Like yourself, I want more info but I think there is reason to believe that there is a lot more to the story than our prime minister wants us to know.

I did my own post on this issue Fred, if you have a few moments check it out.

Bribes (or should I say handshake agreements) are the cornerstone of our political system. Backroom politics are common, and I would guess that there is fire near the smoke on this one. Everyday business in Ottawa.
