Scott Brison will be talking about his bid for the federal Gritleadership. And the chair of the Liberal's ethics task force - Michael Bloomfield - is coming into the studio to update us on the work of that committee. Also on the show: our rabble-rousing panel of pundits - Troy DeSouza, Bob Russell, Allan Warnke, Brad Zubyk - debate the week that was in provincial and federal politics.

Liberal ethics
July 9, 2006
This thread title and radio topic is silly. Adscam was about a crime during the Quebec referendum about a decade ago and the Liberals are no longer in government.
Below is the scandel of the day about the government of the day:

... go figure and get current.
"Adscam was about a crime during the Quebec referendum about a decade ago"
Actually no. The Adscam began after the Quebec Referendum and kept going until 2004 or so.
Ethics and Chretien / Martin Liberals in the same sentence? A bit strange there.
Major why the party needs a new leader who is not
dependent on Chretien or Martin based political hacks.
"Major why the party needs a new leader who is not

Absolutely true... the conservatives are linked to a money scandal (convention-gate) in the here and now; it only makes sense for the Liberals to let their past be their past... and let the page be turned in their favour.
Watch for more war talk, maybe a cabinet shuffle and as many diversionary tactics from Harper Mr. - Prince Machiavellian style - to try to get out from under the convention-gate scandal.
