The best is yet to come.

For months, a crack team of top forensic accountants in Ottawa and Montreal . . . . The result, we are told, is pure political dynamite. . . .

Following the money trail Greg Weston, April 17, 2005

[. . . . An] official at Elections Canada indicates there is nothing the government can do to prosecute the Adscammers -- under the old election financing laws in place during the sponsorship program, violators had to be prosecuted within 18 months.

Broke laws

The same applies to the numerous Gomery witnesses who have admitted they broke federal lobbying laws while they were out twisting arms in government for sponsorship cash.

A joke at the best of times, the lobbying laws don't even apply to AdScam -- the statute of limitations is two years. [. . . . ]

The lobbying laws don't even apply to AdScam -- the statute of limitations is two years -- the law was changed about a year ago. How very convenient -- the ultimate joke on Canadians.

Search for more information on "the accountants of Kroll Lindquist & Avey". It sounds as though they are doing the forensic accounting.




This was a letter to the editor yesterday from a public relations representative from Elections Canada, stating that:

because of the Statute of limitations, their hands were tied

Electoral officer's role -- Re: Paying Back Canadians, editorial, April 14 April 16, 2005, National Post

[. . . . ] As has been reported by other media outlets, prosecutions cannot be initiated respecting potential breaches of the Canada Elections Act arising out of the conduct being considered by the Gomery Commission as the activity reported to date in those proceedings took place outside of the limitation period imposed by law upon the prosecution authority under the Act. Prior to Jan.1, 2004, when the limitation period was changed respecting activities taking place after that date, a prosecution under the Canada Elections Act had to take place no later than 18 months after the commission of the offence.

[. . . . ] The editorial also alleges that enforcement of the Canada Elections Act respecting the rules regarding third party election advertising amounts to a policy of harassment of advocacy groups notwithstanding that those rules have been passed by Parliament and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. I would refer you to the summaries on the Elections Canada Web site of the compliance agreements entered into respecting such breaches where transgressors voluntarily admit their responsibility (www.elections.ca).

Victor Salus: Oh my God… it’s a SECRET AGENDA! Editor, Canada Free Press Blog, Monday, April 18, 2005

Those devious, lying S.O.B.s, they’ve got a secret agenda that they’re preparing to spring on the unsuspecting Canadian public.

Of course, those devious, lying S.O.B.s are the Liberals. Of course. [. . . . ]

Salim Mansur: Remember when honour was important

There was once an unspoken rule in public life that when trust is broken and a reputation sullied, the person in question should depart and save others from embarrassment.

We no longer live in such a world or, more properly, we now imagine that to demand honour in public life is romantic fiction. [. . . . ]

Michael Coren: A moral duty to resign

I can just imagine the Liberal spin doctors with their sleeves rolled up, drinking numerous cups of coffee and looking stressed and under pressure. [. . . . ]

A trip down memory lane -- worth reading. Paul Martin, Ken Dryden and the Conservatives are mentioned.

Immigration & Stewart Bell: Concerning Terrorists in Canada "The Jihadis in our midst" in the National Post, April 18, 05

Liberals open doors to migrants -- This one can be read by anyone.

Some articles are limited to subscribers. For example, Stewart Bell's article on terrorists in Canada is not online but you may check his book on this, information about which follows.

Cold Terror: How Canada Nurtures and Exports Terror Around the World

The jihadis in our midst -- from Stewart Bell -- adapted from Stewart Bell: Cold Terror: How Canada Nurtures and Exports Terror Around the World # Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; New Ed edition (April 22, 2005), ISBN: 0470836458

In this news-breaking exposé, Canadian investigative reporter Stewart Bell documents how agents from the world’s most notorious terrorist groups–from the IRA and the Tamil Tigers to Hezbollah and Al Qaeda–have operated on Canadian soil with near impunity for two decades. Unlocking Canada’s secret intelligence files, he profiles Canada’s top-ranking terrorists–and reveals how years of neglect by Canadian security officials have transformed the country into a thriving hub of international terrorism. [. . . . ]

"In this solidly documented book, [Stewart Bell] shows that successive Canadian governments have allowed Canada to become a fundraising and operational haven for terrorists, enabling them to carry out attacks throughout the world."
