More Chicanery, Hypocrisy, & Corruption

Will the Liberals Feature Transparency, Accountability & Honesty in the coming election campaign?

"And we're sure they'll be as faithful to their word this time as they were when they promised to scrap the GST in 1993." Oct. 8, 05, Commentary, Toronto Sun

Look, we all know how Prime Minister Paul Martin and the federal Liberals are going to fight the next election, so can we just cut to the chase right now?

Martin and his minions are going to ask Canadians to overlook years of Liberal political corruption, greed, waste, mismanagement and arrogance.

[. . . . ] Must we all endure this political horse manure, yet again?

Especially coming from a government that, ever since Martin was finance minister, has constantly and cynically manipulated the size of the federal surplus in order to suit its own political needs of the moment. [. . . . ]

Federal Sponsorship Dollars
To the Liberal Party of Canada:

Canadians have the right to expect their tax dollars to be accounted for and spent responsibly in an open and transparent manner. The Gomery Inquiry into the sponsorship program has exposed an orchestrated scheme between several Quebec advertising agencies and the Liberal Party of Canada, whereby tax dollars were directed to the party via government advertising contracts. The Government of Canada has pursued legal action against these ad agencies for receiving tax dollars while providing little or no work of value.

The Liberal Party of Canada has failed to conduct a forensic audit of its financial records to determine whether any “dirty money” made its way into party coffers. Leading forensic auditor and fraud expert Dr. Al Rosen has assessed the Liberal Party’s alleged accounting review as misleading, inconclusive, and “half baked.” The Liberal Party of Canada should not be in receipt of any tax dollars – whether technically legal or not – from the Adscam scheme.

We, the undersigned, therefore demand:

• A complete and fully independent forensic audit be conducted on the financial books of the Liberal Party of Canada and of all monies received by the Liberal Party of Canada between 1996 and 2003;

• All monies found to be “dirty” or any questionable donations stemming from the Adscam scheme be immediately repaid – with interest – to the Government of Canada and;

• Full details of the forensic audit be made public, and all those responsible for fraudulent transactions be held accountable to the full extent of the law.

Because of illness I did not post what follow so you may have seen some of these.

Paul Martin and the PMO Revealing Desperation?

Dinner leaves bad taste for Jean -- She wanted cozy reception but PMO sets up bash in stadium -- here -- here

The Prime Minister's Office has insisted that incoming Governor General Michaëlle Jean nix plans to hold an intimate affair at Rideau Hall tonight following her installation, and instead [threw] a giant dinner party, a Rideau Hall source said.

The dinner [was] in the basement ballroom of Lansdowne Park, Ottawa's football stadium.

"Everyone, including Michaëlle Jean, thinks it's ridiculous," the source said. "She has, and we have now, quietly resigned ourselves to the fact that the PMO wants to make what they think is a big deal out of this dinner." [. . . . ]

Search: PMO informed Rideau Hall , had already signed contracts to rent

Is this not desperation? To say nothing of showing disrespect for the newly installed holder of the office -- telling her what to do? After her installation, Adrienne Clarkson had a small dinner but Paul Martin and his cohort need the show in hopes of gaining votes so . . .

Does this man really think people trade their votes for a peek at a new GG? For attendance at a party? For the illusion of inclusiveness? After they vote they would still be taxed and treated to the condescension of Librano$ social engineering, among other things. The man is shallower than even I had thought.

Governance

It almost seems that we are turning into a tin pot dictatorship rather than being an open democracy when trying to get information from the government is like pulling teeth . via Newsbeat1

When dedicated civil servants like Cpl.Robert Read, Brian McAdam, Staff Sgt Stenhouse, Allan Cutler, Selwyn Pieters lose their careers when they try to protect the public, there is something terribly amiss. [. . . . ]

Education and Political Correctness

"The signs of erosion on our campuses are undeniable, whether we examine declining test scores, spiraling costs, or college graduates' ignorance of basic facts and ideas. or via Newsbeat1

In response, our academic leadership is not talking about a more competitive curriculum, higher standards of academic accomplishment, or the critical need freely to debate important issues. Instead, it remains obsessed with a racial, ideological, and sexual spoils system called "diversity." Even as the airline industry was deregulated in the 1970s, and Wall Street now has come under long-overdue scrutiny, it is time for Americans, if we are to ensure our privileged future, to re-examine our era's politicized university." [. . . . ]

Editorial: Secrecy darkens corridors of power Sept. 12. 05

Ask any smart politician whether Canadians have a right to know what lawmaker and bureaucrats are up to behind closed doors, and the air grows chewy with soothing reassurances. Who doesn't endorse access, openness, transparency, freedom of information, accountability?

The subtext? Please go back to sleep. [. . . . ]

Do Something Real! -- Address to:Solbm@parl.gc.ca by TonyGuitar @ 09/25/05 - 08:06:12

Dear Monte Solberg,
On behalf of myself, my neighbours and all Canadian taxpayers, could you please do something to restrain the failing Liberal Government from this unending theft and divergence of our public revenues? The latest, a matter of $2.9 Billion.

The Canadian public may be all too unaware of the whole shocking picture, because the mainstream press is reluctant to bring the complete overview to public attention.

The media are content to bring many seemingly disconnected stories to the public eye when in fact, the Main Headline should be that all these financial outrages are one and the same Liberal condemning story.

Thank's for helping Canadians,

Copy, paste and send. "You can now say you have done more than 75% of Canadians to help matters."

MEAT: A thumbnail review of the iceberg tips of Liberal Party mischief:

These are Auditor General findings carried at CBC News Online, . February 10, 2004. Odd, considering CBC is soft on Liberals.

1985 - Canadian High Commission Hong Kong Marina fee $773,500
1986 - CBC accounting system lost track of… $57,000,000
1988 - CIDA has inadequate control over some of it’s spending. $?
- No verification that federal money is used for Native Bands $?
- Military does not have ammunition for a conflict. [. . . . ]

The list goes on. Check for the details.
