So, we've all heard of the latest trouble for the Liberal Party.
The RCMP is conducting a criminal investigation into the possibility that insider trading took place on Investment Trusts just before Goodale made an announcement about them not being taxed.
The allegation is that there was a leak from Goodale's finance department which led to large trading volumes. There is no proof.
Goodale has refused to step aside, saying he personally has been accused of nothing, and has done nothing wrong.
I believe him. I mean, how stupid would you have to be? I almost feel sorry for the guy.
BUT the scandal has become his refusal to step aside. Have these people never heard of ministerial responsibility? If there is a criminal investigation into possible wrong doing at the highest level in your department, YOU ARE AUTOMATICALLY RESPONSIBLE. You should step aside.
Goodale's refusal to do so will only keep this on the headlines and will damage the party.
Typical Liberal arrogance.
Damn I hope Harper wins a majority. This might just help him.
