Just 13 per cent of Canadians believe Prime Minister Stephen Harper is telling the truth when he says he had no knowledge of Nigel Wright’s $90,000-bailout of Sen. Mike Duffy, according to a new poll.
The CTV News Ipsos Reid poll also found that 44 per cent were “not sure whether or not the prime minister had any knowledge of the monetary gift made by Mr. Wright at the time,” and 42 per cent said they are “convinced that the prime minister would have known about the monetary gift by Mr. Wright at the time.”
In a sign of how politically damaging the scandal could be, the survey also found that 66 per cent of respondents considered the involvement of the Prime Minister’s Office a “serious ethical breach.”

Pierre I am disappointed in Harper regarding his ethics think that Preston Manning would be spinning in his grave if he knew what Harper is doing with his party.
We should have a new law in Canada...........any politician who makes a promise during an election has to say when making that promise at what point he will accomplish it. If he doesn't give a timeline then he or she can't run for office. Also, if they make a promise but do not keep it....they're out, gone, adios, bye!
If we did that no one would run or no one would make promises.
It could be worse. All politicians could full fill all of their promises.
Look at what Harris did.

He won't be too impressed with that.........Manning is still alive.
Look at what Harris did.
But Harris didn't explain how he was going to do it. Any politician can get the ear of the deaf and blind by saying he will cut costs and save people money. But then the same people, when the cuts start, they are yelling "you didn't say you were going to cut that...or that....or that"!!! So add two more things that need to be done.....a) Politicians have to explain in detail their plans........b) The voter has to get more educated.
Our whole system needs changing from the ground up.
