Did you know that people are still investigating the Sponsorship Scandal? That's right, just when you thought that this political scandal was peacefully sleeping in the depths of Hades, word is now spreading that it is indeed alive and well. I look forward to learning more about what happened, and I would like to encourage all you wannabe Magnum PIs at home to pour over the pages and pages of existing reports on this issue. Well, at least that is what Kady O'Malley is doing with Afghan detainee documents over at CBC.ca, using a similar strategy to the SETI program. Just put it all out there and see if anyone finds anything.
Hopefully the RCMP is still investigating. We never did find out the whole story, and I think tax payers deserve to know. Just how much did Stephane Dion know? I'd love to know. A number of sitting Liberals were in the party back then. Let's get to the bottom of it!
I hope the MSM follows this with the same vigor and persistance that they did with Mr. Mulroney.
ReplyDeleteOur Sheila, the AG, was not permitted to follow the money after it left govt hands....wouldn't that be an interesting audit?
ReplyDeleteIs that why Chretien negotiated the coalition of losers....worried about what a Harper majority would turn up if given a free reign on audits?
And of course, seeing as he wasn't there, watch Ignatieff remain completely and utterly silent on this issue. LOL Ironic, eh? This is the one time that his long abscence can actually benifit him. But that still won't really matter. Despite Ignatieff's multitude of weaknesses, the appeal of the Liberal was it's brand. Now with this scandal being given new life, who knows how much further that brand will be tarnished. And with an election that can happen at any time, this works very nicely in keeping the voters reminded. :D
ReplyDeleteBy the way, as an aside, have you heard of any sanctions yet against any of the Liberal's MPs that helped cause the Liberal's embarrassing defeated vote last week? There are a few factors in determining the effectiveness of deterrence - one is that it must be certain; two is that it must be swift; three is that it must be severe. I have seen NOTHING regarding any of these aspects of deterrence in the way the Liberal leader has handled these "internal sanctions". I mean, why should there be when he let 6 MPs defy him when they OPENLY voted against their own party on a budget vote? Ignatieff is toast. He is beginning to make Dion look like Hercules.
ReplyDeleteOh will you just get over it already? More than 10 years has past, move on.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if the opposition is sooo weak as you and many like to put it, why the need to nitpick over things that happened over 10 years ago? Justice Gomery already came to his conclusions. The Reports were done.
Funny, how you all want to hide the Afghan detainee documents and do anything and everything possible to maintain Steve's honor...but still beating a dead horse; a horse that died over 10 years ago.
I read part 2 it is very interesting I hope they get to the bottom of it soon. I feel sorry for Benoit Corbeil I think he was following orders from someone higher up, someone who is still walking around free, above the law.
ReplyDeleteWhat is ck hiding? Does she have information she is afraid to disclose? Has someone told her if she provides information about the missing money?
ReplyDeleteWhat are they hiding?
Yeah but CK the Afghan detainee thing is another Liberal debacle since the ground rules that caused it to happen were written by Liberals while in power.
ReplyDeleteI would truly like to know where all the money in Adscam wound up as well as HRDC as well as Gun Registry as well as....

Yes, and with Mulroney/Schreiber almost twenty years has passed, but I don't see any Liberals NOT dancing with glee when THAT case is mentioned.
While we're talking scandals, was there EVER an investigation into the more than one BILLION taxpayer's dollars that went missing from Human Resources Development Canada, under Minister Jane Stewart? If there was, I never heard of it, and it's a hell of a lot more than the others.
Call me suspicious.

Oh, Warren Kinsella wouldn't like that.
