You're certainly entitled to vote for anyone you like. But I woldn't vote for Mr. Morneau under any circumstance.

1. Mr. Morneau's company, Morneau Shepell, currently has a multi-million dollar contract with the Bank of Canada, an entity which Mr. Morneau, as finance minister, has considerable control over. This represents a clear conflict of interest.

2. Mr. Morneau is the principal sponsor of bill C-27, which if passed into law will significantly benefit Morneau Shepell. This, too, is a clear conflict of interest.

3. Morneau knew his personal business interests should go into a blind trust, because his own correspondence confirms he asked about it when he became finance minister. Yet he ultimately chose to leverage a loophole. It's sneaky, it's deceptive, and it's greasy as hell.

Go ahead and blame Harper all you like. But Morneau's mess is Morneau's fault, and Morneau's fault alone. He tried to cheat the system and got caught. He should resign - or be fired.
