The Ad-Scam scandal was supposedly about the federal Liberal Government using public funds to help defeat a separatist referendum in Quebec. In reality, thanks to its name, it turned out to be a scam that lined the pockets of people in Quebec advertising agencies and other bodies connected to the Liberal Party. What it was about was not saving the country from breaking up, but providing the federal Liberals and their friends with ill gotten lucre. There's been nothing like it in Canadian history, unless you recall the Saskatchewan scandal that destroyed the provincial Progressive Conservative Party.

There's been nothing like it in Canadian history Not true. The Gun Registry scandal is much worse.
The Liberals only stole a couple hundred million in Adscam
but got more than a billion in the Gun Registry heist.
