Boggles the mind for sure. I don't understand how people can choose to believe at this point that the PM had no inkling about the shady dealings going on in his own office, while totally ignoring the continuous trial of bodies leading right up to the PMO doors from this scandal especially given how tightly we know Harper to control messaging, communications and the like within his party during his time in office.

Accountability is one of the biggest factors when electing a politician. If you can't trust them to execute on basic accountability to their constituents and adhere to laws/democratic processes, how can you reasonably expect them to fulfill any of their campaign promises?
