Not being Canadian, I don't know how much sway an RCMP investigation will hold versus a parlimentarian investigation. I assume that it would be something similar to an FBI investigation in the States, which would satisfy me personally.
Personally, I'm amazed that the Tories would walk in with this offer in writing, even if it was hand-written note. That's so dangerous that I can't believe that any MP would think that it was appropriate or even advisable. It's the one thing that sheds doubt on the story in my eyes.
That doesn't mean that I don't believe that it couldn't have happened exactly as described. Canadian politicisans aren't any smarter than American ones.
My big question, and my reason for posting in this thread: was this the first time that this was attempted, and if not, what happened there?
