I'm thinking no summer election
After reading that the former Director of the Quebec Liberals has plead guilty, and that he's going to start naming names, I'm thinking that we're not having a summer election.
And after reading about Jim "Teflon" Flaherty, and Lisa "They're not my briefs" Raitt, and that most Canadians don't think EI is worth fighting an election over, I'm thinking more and more that the trigger won't be pulled over the next couple of weeks.
Blowing the whistle?Also interesting in that article is the suggestion that these charges were NOT in relation to the Sponsorship Scandal... which could imply a whole new can of worms is about to get opened up into the inner corrpution of the Liberal Party of Canada. Pass the beer and popcord.
A judge ordered a pre-sentencing report for early September. The Crown wants Corbeil to do jail time but Corbeil's lawyer says he should stay out of jail because he never made a penny from the fraudulent transactions.
However, Corbeil says he will reveal who profited from the scam, suggesting more names will come out in connection with the scandal that helped to bring down Paul Martin's minority Liberal government in 2006.

The hypocrisy of CTV is astounding. They sit on the secret documents for a WEEK and COPY said doucuments, releasing them to the public (keeping a copy for themselves) when it would do the most harm to the Conservatives.

This is the same news organization who decided to show that awful Dion interview with Steve Murphy from NTV where he apparently couldn't understand simple English, AFTER promising to Mr. Dion that they were just going to throw that out and start over. A clear violation of journalistic integrity.
Now with the published info on these documents, it appears CTV has also undermined the government's bid to sell off the AECL. Call me crazy, but I'm starting to believe that the CTV is way more dangerous to the country than the Conservative Party.

A very good editorial of why a summer election is not going to happen.

Basically, there are 16 MPs who have pensions at risk, and Opposition Days "conveniently" fall right before several Quebec festivals. Should guarantee that the Bloc will be "understandably" absent from Opposition Days.

Hey CC, you haven't blog in over a week. Everything okay? Or is it you can't find anything substantial to comment on besides Lisa Raitt's sexy isotopes and John Baird's potty mouth?

Thanks for asking, have actually been out of the loop... heard about Lisa's thing periferally, but been way to busy to even form an opinion about it.
All my time has gone into developing a love/hate relationship with Blackberries, Firewalls and Exchange 07.
