The current leader of our country was the Finance Minister during the sponsorship scandal. This means he is either a liar or incompetent, there is no longer any question at this point that tax dollars were wrongly dispersed. His current position and his current power plays show that he isn't politically incompetent, so maybe he is just bad with numbers.
The fact that the liberals won the last election at all is a strong indication of both a lack of accountability and a poorly informed electorate. If the Gomery inquiry isn't kept in the news, it will be forgotten. If updates are put on national news on a regular basis, it out will dilute the impact. The Gomery results should spike the results. The former Prime Minister didn't take it seriously and won't be held accountable, but I can hope that the current one may be. (Although I am much happier having Martin in the seat then Chretien)
There should be an election soon. A minority goverment is the most ineffective arrangement possible. That said, I don't know how to vote. I can't support the social policies of the conservatives, the NDP can't win, and I certainly can't vote liberal.
