Below is the scandel of the day about the government of the day:

"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

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.
