Haha, HUGE Canadian scandal erupting involving Bush lapdog Harper...

For DUers who aren't aware, Bush lapdog, Canadian PM Steven Harper, is in deep doo-doo as a Canadian election draws near. From the CBC: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/02/27/cadman-book.html

Conservatives made million-dollar offer to MP Cadman: book

The late Independent MP from British Columbia who kept the Liberals in power in the spring of 2005 was offered a $1 million life insurance policy by the Conservatives in an attempt to win his vote, according to an upcoming book.

Chuck Cadman, who was battling cancer and died in July 2005, sided with the minority Liberals in the crucial vote on May 19, 2005, ensuring Canadians would not have to head to the polls for a summer election.

==SNIP==

Independent MP Chuck Cadman's vote on May, 19, 2005, ensured Canadians did not have to head to the polls for a snap election. If the elements of the story are true, the Conservatives' actions may amount to a criminal offence.Under the Criminal Code of Canada, it's illegal to bribe an MP.

=====================================================================================================

The best part, Cadman's daughter is running in the next election as a conservative, and she claims that the story is true, as does Cadman's widow. After Tony Blair and John Howard, let's hope that Harper is next.

If it was we would have another surge in jail population.
