That is ridiculous.  I am not sure what your definition of  a scandal is, but you need to do a rethink.  You seem to think that any political controversy constitutes a "scandal."  What do you think politics is about anyway?  It is the Liberal government that seems to be getting into hot water . . . well beyond political controversy and into the territory where Canadians and the economy will suffer.  The Reform Party simply represents a grassroots Western approach to politics with policies to match.  It is a pathetic smear to suggest that their involvement with the PC party created a cesspool.  How do you think Reformers voted before the formation of the Reform Party.  If anything they saved the PCs from a total sell-out to Bay Street and ensured that the Conservatives we have to day put the interests of ordinary Canadians first and foremost.
