Just some crazy speculation based on one fact -- the Stop Iggy website has come down.

The Toronto Star is advising Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion to vote against the Tory financial update and trigger an election.
Until now, the accepted wisdom has been that Stephane Dion would lose that election, and almost certainly his job.
So what has changed that the Toronto Star thinks an election would be a good idea?
Absolutely nothing.

One of the stories that came out of the Liberal leadership convention that saw Gerard Kennedy and Stephane Dion work together to beat front runners Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae was the role of the Sikh vote, and especially the role of World Sikh Organization. Indeed the WSO had a relationship with the Liberal Party before the leadership convention, and since. More than once the relationship has been newsworthy because of the violence that seems to often be part of the story.
News came out today that the WSO was refused the opportunity to present in front of the Air India Inquiry. After the costliest investigation in Canadian history resulted in the acquittal of the accused in 2005, Paul Martin asked Bob Rae to prepare a report to recommend what actions to take next with regards to the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182, which was blown up over the Atlantic, killing 329 people, including 280 Canadians. Bob Rae recommended an inquiry into how the case was investigated and prosecuted. Prime Minister Stephen Harper acted on that report and appointed John C Major to head that inquiry. The inquiry is hearing from witnesses.
The WSO had announced in July that it had important information to share. John C Major is not interested. The information? The WSO, close friends with the Liberal Party and one of the major power blocs, wanted the Air India Inquiry to consider the what the WSO believes could be true -- that Sikhs were not responsible for the terrorist act, but instead were victims of a plot by the Indian government, aided by CSIS and the RCMP, to destroy the Air India jet and so cast blame on peace-loving Sikhs.
Right. And the CIA blew up the Twin Towers with the help of the Jews.
Stephane Dion needs to make a decision. He can let this stand, or he can tell the WSO that the Liberal Party does not believe for a moment that the RCMP and CSIS had anything to do with this horrific criminal act. Given the key role the WSO had in putting Stephane Dion at the head of the Liberal Party, I'm not optimistic that we're going to hear anything soon.

Blair Wilson will be forced to give up his seat. No question of that. The Liberal Party has plans for that seat. But unfortunately we need to rely on rumours to know what those plans are.

The Liberal Party has been focused on the In and Out Scandal. Why? The Canadian people don't seem to think it's much of a scandal. Neither does the media. With the eruption of the allegations against Liberal MP Blair Wilson, inarguably a scandal, you would think the Liberals would do well to drop the whole thing. But they haven't.
Why not?
I think it's a deliberate decision motivated by desperation.

Jim Flaherty is supposed to be delivering his economic update tomorrow. We'll find out if the much-anticipated GST cut is going to be announced tomorrow. If this tax cut is in the update, does that mean Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion's clever trap has caught Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government?

A Liberal Party riding president has quit and in a parting shot, blames leader Stephane Dion for her decision. At some point Stephane Dion will succeed at uniting the party, if only at the moment in time when Stephane Dion will be the only one left.
Seriously, though, this was the riding president for an Ontario riding. Is the discontent that has focused in Quebec starting to manifest in seat-rich Ontario?

How did Blair Wilson ever pass the tests all nominees must undergo before being allowed to stand for the Liberal Party as a candidate for a riding? Some of the news being reported about Blair Wilson's resignation today makes me wonder if that part of the process is going to undergo some intense, and perhaps uncomfortable, scrutiny.
Curiously, though this incident on balance is just more bad news for Stephane Dion, in one way, it might work in his favour.

Stephane Dion has lost his national revenue critic and a member of his caucus. Blair Wilson, whose financial problems were splashed all over the news on Sunday, along with allegations of campaign irregularities, has resigned.
Does this solve a problem for Stephane Dion? Not at all, unfortunately for Stephane Dion.

Read Stephen Taylor's step-by-step comparison of the rules covering trust funds and the apparent method Liberal MP Garth Turner uses to collect funds.
Let's hope Garth Turner hasn't made a mistake. He was just recently appointed by Stephane Dion to be responsible for Liberal Party fundraising.
Update: Well, that was quick. Within a few hours, Garth Turner has changed his website. Instead of asking donors to send cheques to the problematic payee "Garth Turner Campaign, in trust", the cheques are now supposed to be sent to ""Halton Liberal Association -- Garth Turner Campaign".
With that comes some very interesting questions.

Elizabeth May blames Prime Minister Stephen Harper for Canada being in the situation in which it finds itself, and that is that Canada cannot meet the Kyoto commitments.
But Elizabeth May also blamed Stephane Dion, or so it seems.
A bit of a blooper, I think.

The allegations of financial mismanagement and electoral malfeasance being made against Liberal MP Blair Wilson are serious and apparently supported by documentation in addition to eyewitness accounts. Already people are speaking to the issue of whether Blair Wilson is even fit for office.
Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion was badly burned by the Jamie Carroll incident. How will Dion react to the emerging Blair Wilson controversy?

Liberal MP Blair Wilson, the national revenue critic in Stephane Dion's shadow cabinet, is facing some extraordinarily serious allegations. The man whose job it is to keep an eye on how the government collects our tax money is alleged to have borrowed and misspent literally millions in the family fortune. He is also alleged to have signficantly under-reported campaign expenses, running his election campaign on cash payments with no supporting receipts. Indeed, the questions are so serious, and the supporting evidence so compelling, that the Liberals have referred the matter to the party committee that evaluates potential nominees for suitability for public office.

The Liberal Party is running the One Night, 100 Dinners (also being called One Week, 100 Dinners) fundraising push next week. Individual members will be asked to come up with $50 donations while at one of 100 fundraising dinners (each with 50 guests attending and donating) happening across the country.
While they are contributing in dribs and drabs at modest dinners being hosted in people's homes, the Ontario wing of the federal Liberal Party is gearing up for the Annual General Meeting at one of the poshest resorts in the province, Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville.
Really, the optics are just awful. I mean, at least make an effort to look like you need the money before asking for it. Please give generously to the Liberal Party or we might be forced to cut back on big blowouts at top-notch luxury resorts in the future.

Michael Ignatieff is asked a relatively innocent question, and still manages to answer it in a way that sets off alarms. He gets clever and evasive in a way that could suggest he wants to be prime minister, and that he wants to start immediately after Stephen Harper no longer has the job. Well, then what about Stephane Dion?

The notice of intent filed by the Conservatives against the Liberals is not directly concerning allegations that the Conservative Party broke campaign financing rules.
No, the libel being alleged is related to a Liberal statement that Conservative staffers were given jobs in return for committing criminal acts that benefited the Conservative Party (related to that campaign financing, as it turns out).
Of course, the Gomery Commission established that the Liberal Party was doing exactly that -- arranging for jobs for Liberal staffers who then acted in contravention to the law. And now the Liberals have managed to bring that bit of history back to the forefront.

After the focus on CIMS and whether the Conservatives are being ethical in the way constituency data is being treated, the Liberals have been quiet on the issue. Two days have come and gone. Two more rounds of Question Period. After the theatrics of Monday, nothing has been mentioned.
Have the Liberals decided this is not such a big deal after all? If so, I wonder why.
Update: News just in. The Conservative Party has delivered a notice of intent to pursue a libel action against the Liberal Party. That could part of the explanation.
