How to handle of corruption allegations.....

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has asked former cabinet minister Helena Guergis to sit outside the Conservative caucus while the RCMP investigates "serious" allegations over her conduct.
In an email sent Friday before the prime minister held a news conference in Ottawa, Guergis announced she had resigned as minister of state for the status of women, ending her tumultuous tenure in Harper's cabinet.
Harper said he learned of the allegations against Guergis on Thursday night and immediately referred them to the Mounties, as well as the commissioners for ethics and conflict of interest. In the meantime, he has asked Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose to assume Guergis's cabinet responsibilities.

If he sh!t canned her ass, I'd buy it. As it stands, she knew she was heading for a sh!t storm and bailed.

That's not turfed, that's shuffled. After she resigned.

I doubt she was shuffled.....as she is technically not even a Conservative MP anymore.............as Harper booted her.......

Chretien would have denied all knowledge while appointing her to an ambassadorship in a small Scandinavian country, and, if caught out, would have given the Trudeau shrug "Eh, what's a few million, eh????"

If he didn't send the RCMP on a witch hunt to put off the investigation.

And he was the most popular PM we ever had.....why, I don't know.

Most definitely NOT the same attitude.
