So far ...Might be a game changer, but I doubt it.<br /> <br />So far all I’m reading into this is the government funneled money into Clement’s riding and it may or may not have been illegal but that its up to Parliament to decide. This isn't, for example, anywhere in the same universe as someone was getting a paper bag filled with taxpayer money in a hotel room - that kind of visual is something Canadians go ballistic over. But dumping money into a riding to win votes? That’s “how to get reelected 101″ Liberals did it when they were in power and now it’s the Conservatives turn. It’s why CF-18 contracts went to Quebec instead of Winnipeg. It’s why there’s a lot of road construction in certain ridings right now that have a lot of pot holes.<br /><br />Sorry, I just don’t see the scandal in this, because this is just another government in a series of federal governments that raises blowing our money to an art form. Will have to watch the polls and see, I guess.Sean Cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550744638377851070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-69674381890012543872011-04-11T14:14:55.627-04:002011-04-11T14:14:55.627-04:00That 'unaccounted' $40 million the Harperb...That 'unaccounted' $40 million the Harperbots keep going on about from Adscam is bullshit ...and they automatically assume it went to the federal Libs regardless of the fact there is no evidence what-so-ever that this happened. The Auditor-General has already told the Cons that this is over and to stop using her office for partisan purposes.<br /><br />The point about Adscam was that the Chretien government skirted protocols, didn't get the proper departmental approvals required, and shoveled out millions of tax-payers dollars on dubious projects which may have benefited Liberal-friendly businesses.<br /><br />That's what was known and that's why the Libs lost power, and rightfully so. <br /><br />Regardless if all the money was accounted for or not, the same thing has happened under Harper's government --- AND THEY MUST NOW SUFFER THE SAME CONSEQUENCES.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-15766510172795779162011-04-11T13:49:09.183-04:002011-04-11T13:49:09.183-04:00KW
