Gomery Commission sponsorship scandal

[Matt_Toronto]

The concept of a "publication ban" is rediculous in a modern democracy. The Gomery publication ban simply robs Canadians of information. It is implicitly insulting to every Canadian that such information is not public.

In a nation that like to bitch about the media of our brothers to the south, I have heard no complaints about a refusal to report truth related to what may become the most significant scandal in recent memeory.

As as Canadian, I am offended that I must read my news on sites such as this. Gomery, how dare you attempt to decide what is and what is not "acceptable" to broadcast in Canada. Clearly, your ego is much greater than your talent. You are a discrace to humanity and an international embarassment to Canada. Please resign.

They have computers and the internet and stuff in Canada, right?
It's all just as public as public can be.

I thought it was too cold for computers in Canada. Something about cables being at too low a temperature for electrons to move and snow not being conductive enough.
