We have had a partial lifting of the publication ban about Liberal corruption.

The s**t is going to hit the fan up here now!

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

"The former head of a Quebec advertising company has told the Gomery inquiry that he was repeatedly asked to give cash donations to the Liberal party and put election workers on his payroll in exchange for federal sponsorship contracts...."


Self-ping for reference, & FYI.

Ping!

[eureka!]

Go get 'em. Pound home the fact this is public money from the taxes exacted from the commoners....

[fanfan]

Thanks, we will.

Stephen Harper will not force an election until he's sure that all Canadians know the extent of the Liberals corruption.

Ping!

"Stephen Harper will not force an election until he's sure that all Canadians know the extent of the Liberals corruption."

Kewl. That may take some time though as more seems to be coming out daily. ;^)

[fanfan]

Yes, but the media is looking for blood now.....ie:If it bleeds, it leads, so it should only be a couple of months.

We should be in government by the fall at the latest. Who Hoo!

Thanks Backhoe.

You betcha!

Let me do a quick, by no means complete, cull of some of the links I have related to this potentially lethal corruption:

 Canada's Scandal: The Government vs. The Blogosphere

 Winds of Change has a great post on the scandal. Be sure to read it. Don't forget Small Dead Animals, which has a lot of background on Adscam.

• Who Dunnit: The Ban, The Blogs & The Politics
• The Dividing Line: Why Martin Investigated His Own Party
• Dance on a Volcano: The Liberals' High-Stakes Options
• • As Captain's Quarters notes, see the blog Small Dead Animals: The Roadkill Diaries for some excellent background on the case.
  • Wikipedia's entry is also quite good.
  • SDA:TRD also has a roundup of reactions from the Canadian blogosphere.
  • Though I have to say, the ultimate link roundup has to be the one at Bound by Gravity.

Hi fanfan!

Thanks for the ping.

I still hold any optimism in check.

Deceit and scandal are par for the course with this crooked bunch of scoundrels.

This will shock nobody. They will continue to vote liberal up here. But we're still on with the bet, and I sincerely hope I lose!

I'd be shocked....the electorate is as dumb as ever. The fact that they put Martin in after he total embarassed himself in the debates is proof!

[fanfan]

But we're still on with the bet, and I sincerely hope I lose!

You'll lose. ;-)
