via Whatittakestowin comes this video of Mike Duffy on the publication ban at the Gomery Inquiry. Apparently some big stuff came out of it the last couple of days.
Mike Duffy reports, via MP Peter MacKay, the Bloq Quebecois is preparing to introduce a non-confidence motion based on the Gomery testimony. Buckle-up baby!
Update: Mike Duffy reports that since MP's have immunity from prosecution on the House of Commons some of the details could be released in Question Period on Monday.
Update II:
...Liberal MPs with safe seats were asked Friday to contact neighbouring ridings where the party needs help organizing local campaigns.
..."Our election readiness went up 20 per cent today,'' said one Liberal MP, who asked not to be named.
The accepted wisdom that the opposition Tories and NDP don't want an election since they're still less popular than the Liberals has been turned on its head by the steady stream of revelations before the inquiry headed by Justice John Gomery.
...The Tory justice critic, well aware that the punishment for violating a publication ban includes possible jail time, had little to offer.
"All I can say is that given what was said yesterday (Thursday before Gomery) the political landscape may be changing quite rapidly,'' MP Vic Toews said.
Update III: MP Solberg speculates here. Something is going on.
Update IV: The newest CTV video has Robert Fife predicting a Conservative Government. What the heck was the testimony!
Update V: Nothing on the CBC site
Update VI: Looks like all of the newspaper have ran with the Canadian Press story with no further comments. Canada.com (i.e. National Post) shows a picture of former PM Chretien along with the story. Coincidence?
Here is how the frame it. (and not that it means anything)
...Former Prime Minister Jean Chretien arrives back at his office following lunch in Ottawa Friday. New testimony at the Gomery inquiry, that cannot be revealed because of a publication ban, is considered so devastating that it has political parties discussing the possible collapse of the Liberal minority government and an election call. Chretien was Prime Minister during the time of the sponsorship scandal.
Update VII: We now have an Instapundit link.
This is getting too long so I have started a new post here.
