Libs Demand Doris to Resign
The Federal Liberals are opening up old cans of worms again. This time their target is Stockwell "don't call me Doris" Day. New breaking information has come up in regards to an old allegation.
Back when we still had the Canadian Alliance party, Doris ran in a riding in the Okanogan, that was left vacant by the ex MP Jim Hart. The scandal back then was Doris had payed Jim to leave politics. This is a serious allegation as it is illegal to get payed to step down. The RCMP back in 2001 did a full investigation into the matter, and came up with the results that there was payment to Jim Hart for stepping down, but the amount was well within reasonable limits that are allowed for expenses in closing up the shop....so to speak. The amount was ~ $6000.
Jim Hart would have made considerably more money by just sticking around and not doing anything until the next election. Why is this being dragged up AGAIN. If the Rcmp have investigated this once already, and found everything.....adequate (maybe not ethical..but not illegal). Do we go to the added expense to investigate it again? The cost of the investigation would surely far exceed the money that was payed out to begin with.
I thought that the threat of election was passed for the moment...why the mudslinging now?
