"Bingogate was a scandal that occurred during the administration of former NDP Premier of British Columbia Michael Harcourt"

Not quite.  The news of the scandal came out during Mike Harcourt's term in office, but the skimming happened years before he became leader of the NDP.  When the RCMP charged the actual skimmer, Dave Stupich, Harcourt went to the executive council of the party -- the people who had given Stupich the job of fundraiser and were supposed to have kept an eye on the books -- and said, "You're responsible for this. You have to take the fall."

But the executive council said, "No, we've got to protect our phony-baloney jobs."  Not one of them would resign.  So that left it up to Mike,  who had had no part in the scandal.  Being an honourable man, he did the honourable thing.

Still, the NDP got what they deserved:  Glen Clark, who crashed the ferry into the electoral dock.  But British Columbia lost the best premier it ever had since Duff Patullo.
