The meltdown of the liberal party has begun. After the referendum that Quebec had to seperate from the rest of Canada which didn't pass on a margin of 51 in favor to 49 opposed (keep in mind the vote was only posed to Quebec residents) the liberal government (Chretien) spent $250 million dollars to promote Canada in Quebec. Now can you imagine the Bush administration spending that much money to promote the United States to say California? Ok, but it gets worse, $100 million of those dollars is missing which is the basis for the Adscam inquiry which is currently unfolding. Chretien's government gave petty contracts to Quebec ad firms, etc... but doubled up on them and now has to answer for it.

A major scandal in a ruling party generally has positive effects in opposition parties. The voter backlash can either be seen in an actual increase in votes for the opposition or reduced voter turnout for the ruling party.

This thread is the first I've heard of Adscam. I hope it promotes massive backlash.

I'm still trying to get my mind to grasp where a 32% conservative support level is a sign of encouragment.

I think if Saddam Hussein had been on the ballot in place of John Kerry, he would have gotten at least that.
