Talk:Chuck Cadman

message: As a confessed Conservative, it must have been painful for Cadman to vote with the Liberal Party and the New Democrats to support the current regime by standing for the proposed budget. But Cadman stuck to his principles as an independent sitting member of parliament, and voted the way he felt his constituents wanted him to vote. This act of supporting the current regime may be seen by some as a bit of payback for the conservative party abandoning him after 2 successful terms representing his riding. As an independent Cadman now has formidable power in the house of commons, a fact not lost on the conservatives or the liberals. (19 May 2005)
* Cadman's "formidable power" was clearly limited by the fact that he was dying, however. DS 11:43, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I was one of Mr Cadman's constituents who attended his memorial service today. He was a good man who will be missed. I have added some details of his memorial service to the article. In addition to Penny Priddy, there was another councillor from the City of Surrey who spoke--I did not get her name. I also did not get the name of the gentleman from the Royal Canadian Legion who spoke, nor the name of the woman who gave the emotional speech about Mr Cadman's personal involvement in trying to prevent youth violence. If anyone knows these individuals names, please feel free to add them in to the article.

message: MP Garth Turner has reported the names of the two Conservative officials who allegedly attempted to bribe Chuck Cadman as Tom Flanagan and Doug Finley (National Director of Political Operations, Conservative Party of Canada).
Should this be included as part of the article?

thread_title:  Conservative officials named in bribery allegations 

message: I've made several changes.
1. (small), based on the facts: Dona Cadman did not witness (or identify) two conservative party officials offering her husband anything; she simply says her husband told her two conservatives did.
I think this is significant since it makes clear there's yet another layer of communication involved. In courts, we always distinguish between directly witnessed testimony and testimony that is hearsay, and for good reason. Same holds here, I think.
2. I've also added in her most recent affidavit and a link to the Ottawa Citizen coverage and Tom Zayaruk's reaction. While I'm unsure of the value (at least on the face of it) of this most recent affidavit, the author's reaction is certainly very worth noting.
3. I've also removed the "bribery" title, and created a separate section titled "legal controversy", moving some content there. Given that the RCMP found no evidence to support charges, and that Harper is proceeding aggressively with a libel suit, I think "legal controversy" is a better title that encapsulates what has happened and is happening. If you'd prefer, "Alleged bribery accusations that were found to be not sufficiently supported by evidence and ensuing libel lawsuit" would also work. Though it might be a bit long. I kind of think "Legal controversy is shorter" and more likely to encapsulate any surprising new developments in this case.
I created the separate section simply because the ensuing investigations and actions in the courts have taken on a life of their own. Holmwood (talk) 16:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
