I also think that the record of Chretien and Martin fiscally and the Adscam issue are totally separate. I have enormous issues with people acting unethically, and there ought to be checks and balances when dealing with money...we actually agree on more than where we disagree.
I understand you also handle other people's money; not in the same way I do, but I can see we would agree on the ethics issue.

I see Chretien and Martin as the coaches of team that preformed miserably. They need to held accountalbe (and have been: see last election results.)

I have a hard time saying that the Liberals are any more unethical than the Conservatives though, given the electoral financing scandal that they were involved in. I know that we are not talking about the same amount of money, but ethics are ethics in either case.
Again we agree. Though the conservatives did it with their own party money; not taxpayers money.

I don't recall seeing the outcome of that one... will have to look it up sometime.
