Liberal Insider Trading/33 RCMP

[rbacon]

Latest criminal probe may be Liberals' last stand

By Ezra Levant

The RCMP investigation into Finance Minister Ralph Goodale and his office is surely not surprising -- it is the 33rd criminal investigation targeting the Liberal government in the last three years.

If anything, the surprise is the RCMP acted before the election -- increasingly, that venerable police force has become politicized itself.

The nightly tracking polls showed public opinion jumped at the news. According to pollster SES, the Liberals lost 3% overnight and the Conservatives picked up 2%.

Who has the secret agenda now. Theft Theft Theft

Really doesn't make much difference. What's the worst that could happen? More Liberals required to go on university lecture circuits and talk about ethics.

If someone within the Liberal government leaked information it will be a while before we know for sure, it could take the RCMP months to determine whether insider information was improperly shared. Still, a lot of evidence points in that direction.

Look at CARP for instance, (50 plus) they first claimed to have been given advanced notice of Goodale's announcement. Then, when the association seemingly realized its initial claim might land the Liberal gov't in doo doo, they backtracked and they never received a heads up at all. Then they came up with a third one in less than 24 hours when a member of Goodale's staff admitted he had called CARP before the announcement but...

Don't forget, a few investment fund managers clamed to have received e-mails tipping them off four hours before the press conference, and a number of tgraders alerted the Ontario Securities Commission to the possibility of leaks from Ottawa on the day following Goodale's announcement.

Add this to their rash of comments etc. recently e.g.

It'll be interesting to see if any elected Liberals actually had the nerve to profit after all their other "mistakes". This thing called reasonable doubt is such a tough one for the police to overcome in a situation like this. Plus there is so much money involved in white collar crime,(and the liberals are seriously white collar nowadays,) it has to be tempting for some cops to misread evidence.

That's the difference between a kid on the streets with a gun and Conrad Black for example, or Paul Martin if you like in this great land of opportunity some of us are more likely to be able to capitalize on that opportunity.

Let's not forget the poor hoodlum but let's see which party has a serious attempt to tighten on the white collars .

Unfortunately it was the Liberals who made the position of RCMP Commissioner an appointee of the Prime Minister. The Canadian Parliamentary system and particularly the Liberal Party has gone out of it's way to centralize power in the PM's office. Regardless of how fine an individual a Commissioner may be, he will owe his position to a present or future PM and will never be able to be seen completely free of conflict.

Like, could Commissioner Zaccardelli be currying favor with Mr Harper because he sees a change in the wind? I would hope not but a Commissioner will always be open to this sort of suspicion, because of the way he got and keeps his job.
