What is ZiiTrend?
Will the Tories sue the Liberals over the Cadman scandal before July?
black-shoulder ( Score Rank: #2 based on predictions in the last 30 days ) black-shoulder  |  was scored on 10-Jul-2008 (133 days ago)
The federal Liberal party is alleging the governing Conservatives to have "bribed" the late Chuck Cadman with a guaranteed life insurance if he helped bring down the then Paul Martin-led minority government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper denied the accusation, and threatened to sue several Liberal members, including its current leader Stephane Dion. Do you think the PM would actually go ahead with a lawsuit?

(Chuck Cadman's widow, by the way, has denied that such an offer was ever made)

    In fact the lawsuit drama is going on. Harper launched his $2.5-million lawsuit against the Liberal party last March, after Grit officials refused to apologize for accusations that the prime minister knew about a "Conservative bribery" attempt in the Cadman affair. In July, Harper adds $1 million to $2.5-million lawsuit against cash-strapped Liberals.

    source: http://canadianpress.google.com/artic... - it is a pretty interesting news.

    Stephen Harper is actually filing a 2.5 million-dollar lawsuit against the top Liberals for their accusations towards the Cadman affair. While no one knows whether the legal procedure would actually continue all the way until a verdict is reached, I guess I was dead wrong in thinking that the warning was just a tactic to get the Liberals to back off and for Stephane Dion to apologize... Fearless? Gutsy? Bold? Reckless? You decide...

    No he won't. Obviously, Liberal has not found very concrete evidence; otherwise, they would bring our PM to the court directly.

    While I think the Liberals are definitely just trying to black-smear the Conservatives, something they have started doing even way back from the Jean Chritien days, I don't see how the Conservatives would actually file a lawsuit against anybody... political back-stabbing and black-smearing are basically a part of this very dirty game. The most PM Harper may be able to get from this is a pseudo-apology from Dion.
