The senator, the port authority and the ‘big boss’ in Quebec, Daniel LeBlanc, Globe and Mail, Apr. 22, 2011

The first thing to say is, of course, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty. And that applies to this case as well.
(that's what I said about the In-Out scandal as well in Feb. It also applies to Carson, etc.)

However, when you read statements like the one attributed to Saudas yesterday regarding the funding, or lack thereof, of International Planned Parenthood:

"'Organizations like International Planned Parenthood or others that are willing to work with our government, we look forward to working with them as well on this important initiative,' he said."
(Winnipeg Free Press, 21 Apr.'11)

and all the other stuff you read about Saudas.

And Harper himself on whether he delivers on campaign promises:
(see: the video of Harper Q&A 21 Apr. at: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/Canada/NL/1279609329/ID=1892271885)

[at 25:50]
when asked by the local CBC reporter regarding whether his commitment on the loan guaranty on the Muskrat Falls project was in jeopardy if Harper did not get a majority and his local candidates did not get elected

"a strong Conservative majority government will be able to deliver on those commitments. A minority Parliament where effectively a majority of seats is held by the Liberals, NDP and Bloc, can not and will not deliver on that commitment."
[at: 27:36 - 28:36]

What's a guy to think.

You have to ask yourself just exactly what is the real message behind Saudas saying

"willing to work with our government, we look forward to working with them"
in the context of funding

and Harper's statement regarding his campaign promises that without a strong majority he ". . . will not deliver on that commitment"

All Canadians should be asking themselves these questions and then voting.
