Politicians do these sorts of things all of the time....it doesn't make it right....but get over it.
When Stronach crossed the floor, do you think she was bribed? Absolutely she was but of course the liberal run media never looked into that did they? Sometimes I really strongly dislike the left wing.

Yikes...
First of all, Cadman and his family are long time CONSERVATIVES, not Liberals. While Cadman left the party before his death he was and his family still are Conservatives to this day. Despite all of that, it is his family that have confirmed long standing suspisions of this illegal bribary offer.
Second of all, there is an AUDIO recording of Harper himself confirming that he had heard about such an offer but that he did not know the details.
^ So combined that seems to have a whole lot to do with the conservatives both commiting and then discussing the bribary - no evil Liberals involved!
Lastly, and i have no clue what this all has to do with Belinda Stronach, but her reasons for changing parties are very well documented and there was ZERO talk of bribes or illegal actions.
Furthermore, how do you suppose you would bribe her? Seriously, HOW?!
In 2001, the National Post named Stronach as the most powerful businesswoman in Canada. Fortune Magazine ranked her #2 in its list of the world's most powerful women in business in 2002. She was also named one of Canada's "Top 40 Under 40". In April 2004, Time Magazine ranked her as one of the world's 100 most influential people.
Her net worth is likely in the hundreds of millions. Her family is loaded and her father makes ~$50M/year on top of his ~$600M net worth and huge industrial holdings.
I am NOT a Belinda Stronach fan at ALL but she was clearly not bribed by anyone. To suggest otherwise here is just poor taste.
As an obvious far-right supporter don't you want your own party to be clean and noble?! How does ignoring obvious corruption help you and your political ideals?
The irony is that it is not the corruption that makes the Conservatives like the Liberals - it is the sad and pathetic attempts to make that corruption a partisan issue that makes them so alike. Sad... why can't people just say sorry - we screwed up? Oh, other then potential jail time...
The Liberals were left saying "we didn't do it" when they clearly did, now the Conservatives are saying "we didn't do it, and i bet it is a liberal plot to make it look like we did" when they clearly did something at least questionable - if not provable!? Come on, that is brutal.
