Tarred by the same brush

Although, in general, the public has a low trust for politicians and lawyers, there are many politicians who are trust worthy and many lawyers, as well.

It is most unfortunate that some politicians have acted in ways that are viewed as most inappropriate and even sometimes, illegal; the same holds true for lawyers.

The Gomery Commission has brought out testimony that has caused the Canadian public to question the activities of supposed upright Canadian citizens.

I have found that people are talking about the inquiry. It is a topic of conversation that often results in comments that are rather negative towards the Liberal Party and those sentiments fall on the shoulders of liberal politicians. Most Liberal politicians have had absolutely nothing to do with “The Scandal”, yet they are recipients of some abusive comments. That is rather unfortunate.

Perhaps the Liberals have been in power too long. That is probably the sense of the people at the present time. Will there be an election? The Liberals would like to put any election off to a much later date. They would like to delay until after the Gomery report which is due in December. At that time, later and preferably much later would be in the best interest of Liberal politicians.

The mood of the country at the present time would give the Conservative Party the preferred position of providing the leadership in a minority government. Some additional time for the Gomery Commission to provide additional damning testimony would work to the benefit of the Conservatives. In addition the Conservatives do not want to “force” an election because many Canadians do not want to have another election so soon after the last one. They hope that the mood for an election will heighten to the point where the public will “demand” that an election be held, to “kick the bums out”, which may be very inappropriate for most of the politicians are not guilty of any wrong-doing but have been “tarred by the same brush.”
