A quick recap, in case you’ve forgotten: Dona Cadman told Zytaruk that she found out about the offer on May 17th, 2005, but Doug Finley and Tom Flanagan – the two men who claimed to have met with Cadman to discuss his possible return to caucus were adamant that the meeting actually took place two days later, on May 19th. The publishers eventually took the extraordinary step of removing the date completely from the final text of the book.

Spent last Saturday traipsing around north Toronto in a snowstorm with the Martha Hall Findlay campaign. That resulted in both a week’s worth of fever and chills and this story. Judge for yourself whether the latter was worth the suffering.The apartment canvassing was mildly instructional. Granted, the sample size was very small and taken from a Liberal-friendly riding, but consider that only a couple voters made a point of complaining about Stephane Dion. Another explicitly lamented the leadership of Stephen Harper. And not a single mention was made of the Liberal voting record in the House.So good news Ottawa insiders: no one’s paying attention. They’re far more concerned with the increase in cigarette butts found on their neighbourhood sidewalks. Adjust your policy and political projections as you see fit.
