Liberal mudslinging falls flat again.
Careful though, the fact not many people are affected by the mini-scandals isn't really good news, but rather news not as bad as they could have been.
Canadian politics appear to be on a standstill since a bit of a while, so I'm not surprised the opposition, Liberals above all, are trying to shake things up... thing is that it might just backfire if they're not careful. At this point, it looks like it would take a big thing to really influence Canadians, so it's not impossible the Cons might just end up benefitting from 'mini-scandals' concerning them as people don't really seem to mind as much as the Libs thought and it seems like every time Dion talks, the Libs lose ground.
