I am not so sure about "trust" either in a discussion of politicians. Electability is good ...

Now we see the REAL problem with waiting for Gomery as Cretien attempts to halt the inquiry. December may never come if certain people have their way ... it will not be in December in any case.

We assume that the inquiry will arrive at some, as yet undefined by anyone, "truth" against which Martin and the Liberals can be judged. Even though this is highly unlikely with people sitting on the stand under oath claiming they cannot remember any incriminating details.

IMO this is not an innocent until proven guilty situation ... there will be no single "truth" and what do people expect for culpability ... Martin as minister of finance is already indisputably guilty of mismanagement of public money on this and many other issues. Let the liberal kickback issue be solved in court where a conclusion (guilt or innocence) can be established within a clear framework. This has long since been lost in the inquiry, not through the fault of the organization but by the magnitude of the unexpected results.

An election costs essentially the same now as in January 2006. So the monetary issue is irrelevant and we should be able to leave the beach for an hour or two to vote.

Perhaps with the liberals out of power this inquiry or others, as I am sure the present opposition would probably fire up, will proceed better???

Most importantly, it will allow the non-(liberal/defendant) government of the day to actually govern and get things done on behalf of the people!! The sooner the better??
