After examining the allegations against Conservative Party officials, the RCMP say that no charges will be laid in the Chuck Cadman affair.I knew exactly this is what would happen. It doesn't take an RCMP investigator to realize this whole "Cadscam" was all a big nonsense. Taking a closer look at the details was more than enough.
The Mounties said they found no evidence to support the allegations of bribery laid out in a biography of Cadman, who died in 2005.
First of all - there's this million dollar life insurance policy that was allegedly offered to Chuck Cadman. No underwriter would ever approve a life insurance policy for a terminally ill man. And there's no way someone could force an insurance company to issue a policy to someone who is uninsurable. Not even the Prime Minister himself, let alone - the Leader of the Opposition. The guy who added that story to Cadman's biography must have had a wild imagination but he knew nothing about how insurance industry works.
That alone is more than enough to doubt the whole story. But it's worth mentioning that despite all his illnesses Mr. Cadman wasn't mute. If there had been a dubious offer made, he would have mentioned it during the question period. But what he kept saying until his very last day was just the opposite - that there was no such an offer ever made. Whom should we trust then? Mr. Cadman himself or some left-leaning journalist speaking in his name?
Now the RCMP has confirmed that there's no evidence of wrongdoing by the Conservatives. Well, that was obvious from day one. Meanwhile the "CadScam" affair is about to backfire. Not yet at those who had launched it, but at those who were supposed to benefit from it. The Liberals, that were quick to accuse the Conservatives of bribery, are still facing the libel suit.
