So "The prime minister argued that his rocky relationship with Brian Mulroney proves he values ethical government - and the Liberals don't." did he? (1)
Was welshing on his promise to see the softwood lumber dispute through to the end of the court process we were winning an example of ethics in action? (2) Would those harmed by his reversal on income trusts agree he values ethical government? (3)
While he it seems to view training Committee Chairs to prevent work from being done, (4) using M.P.s mailing privileges to their constituents for purely partisan purposes (5) and what others have termed the 'in and out scam" (6) as ethical, many do not. |

And few there are who agree countenancing an approach being made to persuade a dying man to change his vote for gain i s an ethical practice.
Stone throwing is best not done by those living in glass houses, particularly when far from guiltless. |
