"Many believe Sokolyk was personally responsible for initiating the vote-splitting scheme"-- as whoever wrote this already knows, this is not true at all. Many do believe this but many also beleive that Taras was merely doing his job. I would hazard a guess that just as many people hold Mr. Gary Filmon personally responsable for this scandal. This article seems fairly biased and was written by someone who believes everything they read in the Winnipeg Free Press. [unsigned]

I've been trying to present the information in a neutral manner; my own view is that Sokolyk probably didn't initiate the scheme, but there are others who disagree. Will changing "many" to "some" resolve the problem? CJCurrie 20:24, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok.. im sorry I took it personally. I have a personal relationship with him and seeing his name here was a little consuming. And yes.. what you have put does make me more happy. It might be nice to here some of the other names involved in the scandal. I woudl like to argue also that many people do not believe Sokolyk or Filmon were responsible.. he did not work alone. It should also be noted that Taras Sokolyk is a devoted family man and has been considered by politicians all over the world as a political genius.
