Guess what? Now we have Cadman’s son-in-law saying he was also told by Cadman about the life insurance overture by the Conservatives to Cadman in exchange for his vote:
Well it’s not really what I think, it’s pretty much what I know. I could speculate about a whole bunch of things but I’m not going to [...]

Just to follow up on my update from a couple blogpostings ago, here is what Chuck Cadman’s daughter Jodi had to say to the CBC:
Cadman’s daughter, Jodi, corroborated her mother’s story, saying her father discussed the offer with her and her mother because he couldn’t talk about it publicly. “He just said ‘I have something [...]

I don’t doubt this might slip under the radar a bit today with the Chuck Cadman bribery affair ongoing, but I noticed that in a short blurb this morning the Canadian military has announced it has re-started transfers of Afghani detainees to the Afghanistan government, because they claim things have improved:

I’ve been out this evening, so I’m just catching up on the Chuck Cadman bribery allegations story, but I almost (almost) feel sorry for Harper and the Cons. They bring forth a Budget that the Liberals can’t stomach an election over, and a day later that gets wiped off of the front pages with [...]

A nice piece of news on a rather disappointing Budget Day - disappointing for both what was in it (and what was not) and the fact the Nervous Nellies in the Liberal caucus have won the day on not causing an election.
The Federal Court of Appeal has upheld the ruling that said the Conservative government [...]

Great catch by Laura over at We Move to Canada. She caught a show in CP24 with a debate involving Ken Epp trying to reassure everyone how his bill has nothing to do with granting legal status to a fetus, is not anti-abortion, could not be used to prosecute pregnant women. When others began to [...]

I think some of these polls that have suddenly come out in the past couple of days showing either a neck-and-neck race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, or even an outright lead for Obama must be close to the truth on the ground, because look at what Hillary is quoted as saying today this [...]
