What is this? Shark week in North America? Both President Obama and Prime Minister Harper have had to deal with scandals - although I would submit Obama's are a little more problematic and serious.
Conservative Senators have been acting badly with expense accounts with Mike Duffy being the latest figure to be outed. Duffy received a (personal) cheque from Harpers chief of staff Nigel Wright. Recall Pamela Wallin - another high profile Senator - was pinched last year I believe.
Both Duffy and Wallin were television personalities.
Anyway, the ethics commission is now investigating and the Harper government is cooperating.
In a rare move, the PM allowed for cameras to be part of conservative caucus meeting usually held behind closed doors.
The question being asked is whether Harper knew of this deal. He insists he didn't.
But as someone pointed out, for a leader that micro-manages his party and controls everything, it's sort of hard to believe he didn't know.
