The Earnscliffe Affair

Janke has a great post regarding the recently launched investigation regarding the former Liberal government's polling practices.

Steve's post mainly covers Warren's testimony of the Earnscliffe polling affair, which originated in the Department of Finance in the early to mid-90's... under Mr. Paul Martin's watch. I'd say Steve covers it in a nutshell... except it's way too long to be considered a single nutshell. It is, however, likely the best summary of the Earnscliffe affiar that you'll see anywhere... so far. (let's just wait until the investigation really gets underway)

The kicker statement?

Warren Kinsella: "In conclusion, I will only say that it is well known that I am not enthusiastic about Mr. Martin or the people around him. However, I state on the record and under oath that I did not participate in the investigations of Earnscliffe and Finance because I disapproved of Mr. Martin and his people; in fact, I came to disapprove of Mr. Martin and his people because of what I learned in those investigations."
