Tables are turned on Conservatives
In politics, as in life, what goes around comes around. That's a lesson that should have been learned by now by the federal Conservatives.
Running against a scandal-plagued Liberal regime in the 2006 federal election, Stephen Harper and the Conservatives were heavy on rhetoric about the need to restore ethical government. And they got a boost mid-campaign from a highly unusual RCMP intervention in the form of an announcement that the Liberal government was under investigation for allegedly giving some investors advance notice of a pending government initiative on income trusts.
Now Harper and the Conservatives are in power, and they are the ones under fire. Their transgressions are too numerous to list in full here, but in two short years under Conservative rule we have seen the Cadman affair, NAFTA-gate, and the cover-up of treatment of Afghan detainees. Now we have the "in-and-out" controversy arising from the Conservatives' slippery campaign financing manoeuvres.
And to top it off, yesterday we witnessed an RCMP raid on Conservative party headquarters in Ottawa.
Elections Canada was tight-lipped about the reasons for the raid, although Harper effectively confirmed in the Commons that it was, indeed, connected to the in-and-out scheme.

you labeled this media bias???? Explain how this, is media bias please.
I read about this in a paper that chose Harper as their choice for leader last election!
I know other conservative supporters who applaud the reporting of misdeeds by the government. Any government.
you, seem pissed. Might I suggest some pepto-bismol...
