Politics
Lay off Paul Martin already!
Here's a guy willing to clean house, he calls an inquiry in a scandal which he knows will cause him bad PR, and yet he is being made a villian by the media. How can we ever expect an honest politician to air dirty laundry out in the open again if this is the type of media we give them? If we keep rewarding those that sweep dirt under the rug, we deserve the corrupt politicians that we elect. Its time we stop focusing on this stupid sponsorship scandal (let's be honest it was chump change anyways given the government's budget), and let the government govern!
He had the guts to call an inquiry and we should reward his honesty. Does anyone remember the conservatives calling an inquiry in the Airbus affair? Didn't think so.

I hope the rest of the country sees it as such.
I'm not convinced that Martin is squeaky clean either.... but if we have another election now... there will be no winners.
