And yes, Martin did call the inquiry. But, he did so because of overwhelming pressure from Canadians. He also called a snap election trying to earn himself a fresh majority mandate before the inquiry really even fired up. That suggests to me that Martin knew something of what was going on - maybe even all of it - and was trying to sneak himself past the controversy before it broke.
Sufficed to say, I trust Martin a little less than you trust Harper.

I think the inquirey was largely whipped up by the opposition as most reports I've heard are that even now the public at large doesn't really know what's going on with the allegations. Not to discredit the need for it, just disputing it was the public for the most part. Secondly the fact that Martin knew what the optics of the situation might look like and tried to side step it is quite different than probably knowing something was wrong. These guys are ALL seasoned politicians they know how things will look and how to maneuver. Harper is no different.
I think the rest of the country trusts Harper less than you maintain you do over Martin, hence the result of the last election and perhaps the one that may be coming.
