The best thing about this story is that it's being blamed on "liberals".
The leader of the Conservative government that has been in power for 40 years has been accused of a conflict of interest, and it's because she's a liberal. Excellent.
I blame the sponsorship scandal on Brian Mulroney.
Anyway, I'd never vote for this woman and have no reason to defend her, but this seems like a pretty flimsy "conflict of interest". Her husband is a partner in an Alberta law firm that has expertise (apparently) in suing tobacco companies, and the government hired them to sue tobacco companies.
Reading this though, you'd think Redford alone hired her husband the gas jockey to handle the whole case personally.
