Campaign update

There is a scandal brewing over the income trust leak. Both the NDP and the Conservatives have called for Goodale to resign.

The Mounties are looking into allegations that information on the government's tax policy for income trusts had been leaked, leading to a sharp rise in the price of trust units ahead of the official announcement.

The Klander blog scandal has also really bruised the Martin campaign. Not the way they wanted to open the second phase of the campaign, I'm sure.

UPDATE: Bourque is reporting that Goodale may quit, and the television news programs led at lengthe with the RCMP investigation and the political impact. And SDA wonders about the CBC quasi blackout on this issue.
