This Should Surprise Nobody

I could swear that I've been saying for weeks that this is exactly what would happen in the Emerson floor crossing inquiry. They could have saved a bunch of money by just asking me; I could have assured them that there's nothing illicit about the Prime Minister of Canada placing a phone call to a respected Member of Parliament and asking if he'd be interested in joining the Cabinet to give Vancouver some representation in the new government.

I hereby declare myself available, effective 01 September 2006, for the position of Ethics Commissioner.
