I have seen no evidence of Alberta NDP corruption, nor Alberta Party or former Wild Rose.
Most City Counselors have been on the straight and narrow, even when you disagree with them (a couple current exceptions).
Federally the NDP, Bloc and Green have been transparent. And in the past PC I thought were good too.
I hate the race to the bottom garbage. If we didn't constantly criticize leadership maybe better people would run for office.

You are 100% correct. As soon as we start saying "they all do it" we start trivializing a very serious issue.
Remember when the Klondike Papers came out and a bunch of Cons tried entrapping Nenshi in some corruption scheme. He didnt take the bait, but a couple of right wing councilors did.
At that point I knew I could trust Nenshi going forward. You may not like his politics/policies, but you cannot question that he's not in it for himself
