- OT - This should tell people something: Cretien trying to obstruct the Gomery inquiry, Martin stopping him. Surely the Liberals had a culture of sleaze under Cretien, but it is too early to implicate Martin personally. This whole inquiry would have been totally shut up with Cretien's friends in key positions in the current government for obvious reasons. The self-righteous legal obstruction tactics worked pretty well for Mulroney when people started to wonder what the heck he was doing with a big fat Swiss bank account (isn't that almost an admission of tax evasion if nothing else?), but it won't work this time for Cretien.

Anyway, regardless of how things turn out it looks like a rocky road ahead for Canada and probably the Canadian dollar because the already shakey minority government is likely to lead to an even more shakey minority government in the next election with separatist voices getting louder. One can envision some consensus occuring for issues under a Martin government, but with Harper in a minority government (hard to imagine a majority), the NDP and Bloq, not to mention the Liberals, would try to block everything, and where would Canada go from there?
