I presume Martin would not be pulling this stuff unless he thought he had a good chance of winning. And if he does win, what are the Canadian voters going to do about it?
They re-elected Chretien when the knew he was corrupt, and they then proceeded to elect Martin when they knew he was corrupt and his whole party was corrupt.
This isn't unique to Canadians. The Europeans consistently vote for these kinds of people. We Americans elected bill clinton twice. And New Jersey elected Frank Lautenberg. California will re-elect Barbara Boxer. Massachusetts has decided to give Teddy Kennedy and Barney Franks lifetime tenure in the senate.
Liberalism is dead as a moral cause, but it still seems to be alive as a corrupt means of holding onto power at any cost. Are we so certain that Canada will vote them down next time?
No, but we have to try one last time to save our country.
Some are suggesting that Martin wants the government to fall, because there are rumors that the stuff we've learned about Adscam is just a small tip of a very large iceberg.
My own crystal says that the Liberals will win Ontario, take a 3-way split in the Atlantic provinces and get wiped out in the rest of the country. Depending on the breaks it will be either Martin propped up by the socialists or Harper backed by the Québec separatists. I think the latter scenario would actually be better for national unity, because another term for Martin will drive away both Québec and Alberta.
Ted Kennedy, as you probably already know, is one of the USA's most asinine politicians. Not only did he leave a yound woman to drown in a submerged automobile, he used his power as a Senator and his family connections to keep the woman's relatives from talking.
