Well, I have to say that the Zolf article was a bit of a surprise. Generally he expresses a more partisan twist.

Here is another link from CTV today. The interesting stuff in this one was:

"Transcripts of Grewal's taped conversations show Prime Minister Paul Martin was ready to talk to Grewal about defecting and to offer him a government post within two weeks of the vote, CTV's Ottawa Bureau Chief Robert Fife reported Monday."

Yet, PM PM had always said "No offer was made". My impressions are that it sounded like something was in the works...

Also, that links says that Grewal had asked for Volpe to be involved... yet the impressions I had from the news before was that the PM's aide Murphy that had offered that up. Either way, Murphy did mention it to Volpe (link)

Oh yeah, here is that link to the Andrew Coyne acticle that Zolf mentioned: "He started it" is not a defence

Anyways, I would have thought the ethics commisioner or RCMP would have been involved by now and that the other party leaders wouldn't have to be calling for it. Maybe everyone is waiting for the tapes.

Here's that George Galloway transcript, Gaut. (That's the Scottish MP that dressed down the US Senate committee on its allegations against him relating to Iraq.) The BBC has video, too.

Assigned reading, class: L’affaire Grewal.

Seriously, though, if some of you could read this, I have some questions later. (I apologize for selecting an opinion piece, but this seems to give a good overview of the story. If you prefer, here are a couple of CTV stories about the topic.)

I appreciate your help on this one.
