  1. Re: l’affaire Cadman
    I can readily visualize the Conservatives, panting and pawing to bring down the Martin government, offering incentives to Chuck Cadman to vote with them but, the insurance story just doesn’t make sense. Where could the alleged emissaries have been able to find a company ready to issue a million dollar life insurance policy to a dying man? That simply makes no sense but, I’ve yet to hear the question raised either by the government or by the MSM.
    This has to be the weirdest political story in years. Cadman clearly stated, after the vote in 2005, that he had received no offers but, now his widow and daughter are contradicting him. WTF?

  2. Perhaps it’s just being sneaky with words: “Of course we can’t pay you, Mr. Cadman, but if you support us we will insure your life for $1M, payable to your family on your death.”
    Then later: “No, really…we weren’t trying to buy his vote…we were just discussing an insurance policy.”
    This does not look good for Harper.

  3. But Iberia, that doesn’t address the important question: Where would the Conservatives or anyone else have been able to find an insurer stupid enough to write a policy on Cadman? As I said, the story makes no sense at all.

  4. In addition to offering a dying cancer patient a million dollar life insurance policy, apparently as part of the same deal,
    “sources” say the conservatives also offered to make the earth flat and the sun as cold as ice.
    Liberals are expanding their demand for an inquiry to include questions on the potential damaging effects of an ice cold sun, as well as the dangers of having a flat earth, particularly for those in the sea faring industries.
    Said one Liberal insider: “this goes way beyond bribery, we’re now talking about ships falling off the earth for God’s sake!”

  5. the cost of a million buck insurance policy with a 2 week redemption period about 999,999.

    while Rome burns , Dion fiddles. if this is the best feint they and the liberal press can dig up, then PMSH should call an election now.

  6. Iberia, 01:31 A.M.
    So you really think that one vote in a lame duck parliament would be worth a million bucks? Boy, you really ARE stupid!
    However, if you believe that the Conservatives might have been that ridiculously generous, how do you suppose that they might have handled the money trail? Remember, they weren’t the party in power, with lots of convenient hidey holes for dirty dollars.
    BTW, I knew Chuck Cadman well, and he was absolutely straight arrow. He said that he wasn’t offered any incentives, and I’ll take that to the bank.

  7. Hey Zog, why do his widow and daughter insist that this event happened? I don’t know if it did or didn’t, but why would they lie?
    I do think an investigation is warranted. Oh, and I think it sucks to be Stephen Harper right now…bye bye to the thought of a majority.

  8. That’s the really weird part. Why the contradiction? I never met the wife and daughter, and I’m not going to speculate on their part in the affair beyond wondering why, if she really thinks that the Conservatives are rotten, Mrs. Cadman wants to be a Conservative candidate. Mind boggling.
    If the Liberals can make anything stick, that would probably be enough to send the Conservatives into the wilderness. If they can’t, it will backfire big time since, even in Canada, messing with a dead man for political gain would merit a serious ass kicking.

  10. Former Six Nations official faces charges…72 counts of theft, fraud, forgery

    OHSWEKEN (Feb 28, 2008)
    Eight months after stepping down from her position as a Six Nations band councillor, Glenda Porter has been charged with misappropriating funds from three community organizations.
    Porter, a respected and longtime politician on the reserve, was arrested Feb. 4 and charged with 72 counts of theft, fraud, forgery and uttering forged documents. She was released on a promise to appear in court on March 13.
    The charges relate to Porter’s work with the Six Nations Agricultural Society, the Six Nations Skating Club and the Six Nations Historical Society. Porter was a mainstay in the groups, particularly the skating club.
    During her band council tenure, Porter held the lands and membership portfolio, the education portfolio and, for a time, sat on the gaming commission that oversaw the local bingo hall.
    It was the gaming commission that turned up inconsistencies in the books of several of the groups that Porter represented.””
    Phil Fontaine said it was “racists” to suggest there was wide spread corruption in reserve politics.

  11. My question about the Cadman Affair is: Why now?
    It seems clear to me that the Librano$ have got to the Cadman widow and daughter. Now THERE would be an investigation: Find out why this story–and I’m clear it’s just that–this trumped up allegation, has burst onto the scene the morning after the CPC presented their common-sense budget.
    The Librano$ cannot STAND the fact that the CPC have credibility in the eyes of a growing number of Canadians, and so seem willing to make utter fools of themselves creating fictional allegations against Prime Minister Harper’s government.
    I think the RCMP should investigate the Cadman Mere et fille and their connections with the Mo…er, I mean, the motivators in the Librano Party.

    Mansbridge So with all this talk of brutal cold and all those bulky snow banks, you might be wondering how an old-fashioned Canadian winter can still exist in these days of global warming. It’s a question scientists studying climate change get all the time. The CBC’s Kelly Crowe now with their answer.
    Crowe It’s been such a wintery winter, Canadians can’t resist asking: Whatever happened to global warming?
    Weaver Oh, it’s … it drives you nuts.
    […]
    So when it gets hot or when pine beetles infest forests, that’s a sign of man-made climate change. But if it gets cold or the ice caps return, that’s not a sign of anything. Whatever the facts are, Mr. Weaver and climate activists cannot have it both ways.
    In the meantime, in New York this weekend, the largest ever meeting of global-warming skeptics and critics begins. Organized by the the Heartland Institute, the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change expects 500 people to attend to hear papers and ideas from scores of people, including Canadian Ross Mc-Kitrick of Guelph University and Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic. It’s not a science meeting, but it is a rare assemblage of some of the people — including scientists — who might be inclined to echo General Motors chairman Bob Lutz, who recently said that he personally thought global warming was a “total crock of shit.”

  13. Something stinks about this whole Cadman affair.
    At this point all eyes should be on the widow Cadman, she needs to come clean and clear.
    She’s running FOR the Conservatives and playing right into the Liberals hands on this by
    contradicting her dead husband’s statement.
    It’s time to put an end to this gotcha politics being played by the Liberals and put their dog and pony show out on the road. Coming to a stump near you Puffin Iggy and Buffalo Bob with Dinky Dion garbling, “that’s not fair”.

  14. Conservatives on the eve of the release of a book about her husband. I wonder if she stands to benefit from elevated sales due to this. Another thing, Cadman said just before the vote that he is voting with the wishes of his constituents, but in an interview with CTV Cadman is quoted as saying, “he will not bring down the Martin government because if he dies as a standing MP the government life insurance policy on him pays his wife double” So this was all about money for your wife and not about your constituents after all. What a self righteous bastard. And your wife it appears is a greedy bitch.

  15. So Chuck Cadman’s wife has some accusations about the Conservatives on the eve of the release of a book about her husband. I wonder if she stands to benefit from elevated sales due to this. Another thing, Cadman said just before the vote that he is voting with the wishes of his constituents, but in an interview with CTV Cadman is quoted as saying, “he will not bring down the Martin government because if he dies as a standing MP the government life insurance policy on him pays his wife double” So this was all about money for your wife and not about your constituents after all. What a self righteous bastard. And your wife it appears is a greedy bitch.

  16. Re: the Cadman affair. The million dollar life insurance thing seems strange since no insurance company would insure anyone for a pre-existing condition, particularly one which was imminently fatal. CTV showed clips of Cadman himself describing the discussions and he made clear that he was not given any financial inducements. However, there are enough swirling allegations and complaints from people close to Cadman to warrant an investigation. I wonder if the ethics commissioner will censure the Liberals for publicizing recorded conversations as Grewal was censured when he made available the conversations with Dosanj? Could the investigation also widen to include Martin and Stronach as well as the offers allegedly made to Incky Mark (sp ?)? I don’t like or condone any such practices including horse trading cabinet posts, senate seats, or public appointments of any sort. It would be nice to have a meritocracy wherein public offices were awarded on merit by an independent party (a concept torpedoed by the current opposition when Harper advanced it) and MPs vote according to their best instincts on the matter before them. The current Canadian political system is way to partisan and while I don’t like many aspects of the American system the relative lack of party discipline within it is attractive.

  17. lberia;
    Are you seriously saying that CC is justified in going after someone’s kids because of a dispute he has with their parents? Is that really the way your tiny liberal mind works?

  18. And now Mr. Beer and Popcorn himself weighs in in The Star – hmmmm let’s see,
    An advanced copy goes to Paul Martin.
    Scott Reid is still smarting from the beating PM took and the fact that Scott fell along with him.
    Scott writes an article talking about how great it is that Stephen Harper is falling from grace.
    Hmmm – wonder where this whole story started? Wonder how long they were waiting to use this little detail.
    Lets see – The Liberals can’t defeat the government on the budget, on Afganistan, on the crime bill, but corruption…well that would be something the Liberals could go to the people with. After all – they have been trying for two years to prove that other parties are as bad as they are.
    I believe THIS is the election issue – they will now attempt to defeatthe government. I could be wrong, but it just seems toooooo convenient.

  19. lberia: can you tell me more about this Liberal moral code of your in which the open harrassment of children of bloggers is justified?
    I’m genuinely intrigued by how you get from A to B here, and would like to hear from a Liberal such as yourself why he supports the harrassment of children of conservative bloggers.
    People ask me why I don’t blog. I’m not afraid of libel suits, Section 13, threats, or any of that; it’s the 100% absolute certainty that due to the fact I am a straight white anglophone male nobody will even notice let alone stand up for me if I take a hit standing up for others, as straight white males have done, perhaps mistakenly, for generations in this dismal and doomed country.
    So I don’t argue stuff from a perspective of making the world a better place anymore as I doubt very much the world deserves better; it is purely a matter of aesthetics at this point, no different in kind than straightening a crooked picture hanging on the wall.

  21. Watching Duffy last nite Re: Cadman, Duffy played the tape of his interview with cadman While Dusjan(whatever it is Former BC Premier) would not Shut Up to let Moore say anything, Very indingnant “Iam speaking i do not interupt you” Then Moore threw that line back when he finaly had a chance to say anything, Dusanj Laughed.
    Anyways Duffy made a very Big point of talking about a private chat he had with Cadman before his Death. He(Cadman) told Duffy that if he voted with the opposition & the government was defeated He would lose his “MP’s Insurance” of which is Double if you die while in office. anyone else see this, And would you think this is what Cadman mean’t when he talked to his wife, The guy was in his final days Emotions were high, Conversations would be very unclear.
    just a thought

  22. Is no one else as outraged as I am about the sudden publicity about Prince Harry’s service in Afghanistan? I have a great deal of respect for the young man, who, realizing his privileged position, still will put his life on the line to do what’s right. But, the MSM’s sudden excitement about this just makes the young man a propaganda target; imagine the video and pictures across the Islamofascist world if he were killed. I’m not suggesting he needs more protection than any other soldier, from any other country. But does he deserve more exposure and publicity? Shame.

  23. So Cadman votes with the Libbies, saves PMPM’s a$$, and his death benefits for his widow?
    Maybe the Libbies got to him on that!
    That’s what really happened.

  24. My understanding is that the episode was described in an earlier version of the book and that the book is not released yet. I am not sure if the passage will be in the final version. What appears to have happened is that someone “leaked” this specific information. Paul Martin was one individual that had access to the earlier draft. Now why would someone select out this specific passage to pass on to the media — because it is another opportunity for a political smear. At the point, the mileage that Liberals will get out of Shreiber/Mulronely is limited. Unfortunately (for them) I think they begin to look foolish. The Grand Inquisitors (ethics committee) is considering investigating this episode — boring us all to tears again for something that cannot be proven. Maybe the Harper government is not perfect, but I am convinced that Harper himself is a pretty straight shooter and these smear tactics are not the way to bring him down. (Look at all the wasted effort on the Mulroney thing — nothing proven, Canadians are bored and Harper has remained above the fray — though a couple of embarrassments for the Liberals (Pablo, Szabo, harassment of the cook)The Liberals would have much more credibility if they focussed on policy issues. Unfortunately for them Harper is doing a very decent job policy wise. If they are looking for another Adscam, they won’t get it — Adscam was about blatant stealing from the taxpayers — and not even Mulroney is being accused of that.

  25. Its funny this all comes to light just when cadmans book is to be released.If the rcmp investigate this they should also investigate who stands to gain from the sales of this book and how much.(personally i think mr cadmans wife is up to no good,why would she wait 3 fkn yrs to start contradicting her late husband now)financail gains i suspect?

  26. So a dying man makes sure his wife and family are taken care of in his absence.
    The order of priorities is GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY.
    So Chuck Cadman went to his final rest knowing his family would be secure. Yes I’m sure the entire country will hold that decision against him.
    This whole story is just so odious it stinks to high heaven.
    Cheers

  27. A few points re Cadman:
    Forget about the widow and daughter. They were not at the meeting. The Chuck Cadman said no
    bribe was offered.
    The possibility of the Conservative party actually being able to get insurance for Cadman would have been nil. If you were going to pay for such a policy it would have cost you more than the payout. What party would be so foolish as to empty their war chest just to precipitate an election?
    Although many conservatives were panting for an election in public, in private the party was admitting that they were not ready. In fact one party stratagist said at the time of the vote that Belinda and Chuck saved the Conservatives from electoral defeat. By putting off the election for a time it allowed the Conservatives to get people and money in place to win the minority they now enjoy.
    One last point improbable as it would be that the Conservatives offered Cadman insurance it would have only served to level the playing field. Cadman, according to Duffy, was going to vote for the gvt for finacial gain for his soon to be widow not the good of his nation or constituents. In other words Cadman had already been bribed by the generous renumeration that all MPs enjoy at taxpayer expense. His vote was not for sale only because it had already been sold.

  28. Very interesting article on the women in Obama’s life.
    http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/JB26Aa01.html
    Here’s a couple of quotes:
    “Never underestimate the influence of a wife who bitch-slaps her husband in public. Early in Obama’s campaign, Michelle Obama could not restrain herself from belittling the senator. “I have some difficulty reconciling the two images I have of Barack Obama. There’s Barack Obama the phenomenon. He’s an amazing orator, Harvard Law Review, or whatever it was, law professor, best-selling author, Grammy winner. Pretty amazing, right? And then there’s the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guy’s a little less impressive,” she told a fundraiser in February 2007″
    “Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother’s milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.
    There is nothing mysterious about Obama’s methods. “A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is,” wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world’s biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis’ cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power’s portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech.”

  29. Re the whole Cadman affair,I watched Primetime politics with Peter van Dusen last eve,and he clearly stated as well,that he had asked Cadman about any inducements/offers re his vote,and was told NO as well.Why isn’t this being broadcast as well,as it backs up what Duff was also told.

  30. If the worst of the Cadman bribery allegations is true then the CPC should be ashamed of their behavior.
    Bryanr’s view of Duffy’s interview makes more sense. That it was about the MP’s life insurance policy. A promise that the CPC would guarantee that his wife would not lose money in the event of his death or election loss. This type of exchanging of benefits for votes still stinks but is not nearly as offensive.
    I agree that the timing and inability for either side to be able to prove or disprove the allegations is awfully suspicious. It is the type of thing that confirms people opinions regarding the slimy nature of politicians. It think that the CPC and LPC will both look bad. The CPC if it is true and the LPC for trying to make political points at the expense of the family of a deceased and respected MP.

  31. Not only are the Liberals attempting to play “gotcha” politics they are aided and abetted by a toxic and hostile MSM.
    The same MSM that enabled the malfeasant bastard Liberal regime of Chretien / Martin to rob the till blind for a decade to finance with stuffed brown envelopes their cronies in Quebec.

    Puffy Duffy knew how Cadman was going to vote the day of the vote.

    The Campus Rape Myth
    The reality: bogus statistics, feminist victimology, and university-approved sex toys
    It’s a lonely job, working the phones at a college rape crisis center. Day after day, you wait for the casualties to show up from the alleged campus rape epidemic—but no one calls. Could this mean that the crisis is overblown? No: it means, according to the campus sexual-assault industry, that the abuse of coeds is worse than anyone had ever imagined. It means that consultants and counselors need more funding to persuade student rape victims to break the silence of their suffering.
    The campus rape movement highlights the current condition of radical feminism, from its self-indulgent bathos to its embrace of ever more vulnerable female victimhood. But the movement is an even more important barometer of academia itself. http://tinyurl.com/yv2thn

  33. (PDF warning) Bruce Riedel and Bilal Y. Saab, Al Qaeda’s Third Front: Saudi Arabia
    Osama bin Laden had ambitious plans to follow up the attacks of September 11, 2001. He and his top aides expected that an invasion of Afghanistan would follow their “Manhattan Raid” and welcomed it as a chance to ensnare the United States in what they hoped would become a bloody quagmire. Washington’s invasion of Iraq in early 2003 offered bin Laden more than he could ever wish for: the chance of a second U.S. quagmire. Bin Laden also had a third front in mind: his own homeland in Saudi Arabia, where he would wage a terrorist campaign with the intention of driving the United States and its British allies out of Islam’s holy land and of toppling the “apostate” Saudi monarchy…

  34. Interesting how the Liberal focus is always to try to suggest corruption.
    Their own multimillion dollar theft from the taxpayer is dismissed as ‘what’s a few million against the break-up of the country’ and ‘it was just a few rogues’.
    Their attempt to link Schreiber’s tactics of staying out of a German jail to Harper, have failed, but the cost to the taxpayer have been enormous. And Schreiber is still here.
    Now, they are attempting to suggest that Harper’s party offered a million dollar insurance policy to a man with a terminal cancer whom no insurance would cover? That’s as believable as Chretien’s insistence that no Liberals knew about Adscam.
    I think that Cadman’s wife was mistaken; the insurance policy her husband was talking to her about, was not one being offered by the CPC but was the House policy for sitting MPs.
    I wonder if the financial offer was to cover the costs of losing the DOUBLE value of the insurance policy if one dies when one is no longer a sitting MP. Cadman knew his cancer was terminal; that had to be a consideration for his decision on dealing with a vote, and also, with dealing with his family.
    That is – apparently the insurance policy on all MPs, carried by and paid for by the govt, is such that if you die as a sitting MP, the value of the policy is doubled. I’m guessing, purely guessing that the face value is 500,000.
    This means that if Cadman voted against the Liberals and the House fell – it would make him no longer a ‘sitting MP’. Since his cancer was terminal, his House insurance policy would be ‘face value’. Were the CPC offering him that extra value, the double value, if he allowed the Liberals to lose power?

  35. Re Richard Evans:
    Funny how you twist things around. CC wrote in his blog:
    “So here’s the deal — as long as Dick insists on redirecting that look-alike domain to NAMBLA, I will continue to post increasingly personal information about his family. See how that works? In short, what happens from here on out is entirely in Dick’s hands. All that remains to be seen is whether it’s more important for Dick to protect his family’s privacy, or for him to score points being an irresponsible dipshit.”
    Dick responded:
    “The domain stays up…”
    “Do your best CC…”
    You play with fire, you get burnt. Now stop your whinning.

  36. I think that the Cadman story is all about setting up the opposition to look like erratic fools. I was wondering if Cadman rejoined the Conservatives if he would be covered by a group insurance policy but then it was pointed out that as an MP he would already be covered. If true then it just shows how ignorant the opposition is.

  37. How could/can a widow and doctor belittle their fathers/husbands name like that. What did the liberals give them. I wont buy the book. She is the cindy sheenan of canada.
    The liberals are low, but this is the lowest of the low.
    Anyone with common sense knew why he refused to bring the government down. For his family to receive all the benefits of an MP’s pension etc.
    Bet she is not a candidate for long, didn’t she support the NDP last time. That woman can not be trusted.

  38. From an interview with Cadman, after the vote in May 2005:
    http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1116543501917_10/?hub=TopStories
    “”I was responding to my constituents. Primarily, it was that they didn’t feel they were prepared to go into an election,” he told CTV reporter Roger Smith.
    As for the timing of his decision, Cadman explained he made up his mind “about a half hour before I came to the House.”
    When asked about rumours he was offered by Conservatives an unopposed nomination in exchange for his vote on the budget bills, Cadman admitted they were true.
    “The discussions did come up,” he admitted on CTV’s COUNTDOWN with Mike Duffy later Thursday night. “The talk did come up, yeah.”
    Cadman said he refused, however.
    “That was the only offer on anything that I had from anybody,” he added, rebuffing suggestions he made a deal to throw his support behind the Liberals.
    “There were no offers on that table up to that point, on anything from anybody.””
    This story was out there way back in May of 2005.
    To have one version of the book transcript sent to Paul Martin, first, is terribly troubling.
    That Dona Cadman was giving the nod to a personal friend, Penny Priddy, a former NDP MLA, over the CPC candidate is very curious.
    That she would now have her name on the CPC ballot is plain odd.
    Dona Cadman, you are a big girl now, playing in the big game, by your own choice. Where are you?
    Get out there and answer these questions, in person, Ms Cadman.

  39. This Cadman affair is showing just how low the Liberals will stoop. With that kind of desperation there is no way in hell the people of this country should trust them anywhere near power.

    Ten days after the Pakistani elections, the geopolitical consequences of President Pervez Musharraf’s defeat are beginning to come into focus. And they are grim…
    In a report this week, Asia Time’s Pakistan bureau chief Syed Saleem Shahzad wrote that with their territorial gains on both sides of the border, the Taliban and al-Qaida intend to create a strategic corridor from western Pakistan to Kabul and cut off NATO forces’ supply lines from Pakistan. Those supply lines were already attacked in January.
    Shahzad reported that the Pakistani military and NATO forces in Afghanistan are gearing up to preempt the Taliban-al-Qaida offensive, scheduled for April, with an offensive of their own in March. But he notes that the election results in Pakistan could prevent such an offensive from taking place…
