Just released... this is regarding the Liberal sponsorship Scandal. I'm posting the links for the Canadian members of OTC...just in case.

Haven't read the findings yet..it's 100 pages for the 'readers digest' version and over 1600 pages for the full version. The radio seems to be saying that it leaves Paul Martin off the hook, but places the blame squarely on Chrétien's shoulders and those of his allies.

:shrug: He said that to appear neutral, but, in reality, nobody is a true neutral. Same type of thing was said during the Watergate scandal here in the US...
