    Now that is a funny line. I’m trying to visualize it but all I come up with is “hobbling like a ruptured duck”.

  3. Monte’s humor and insight always creates a perfect balance.
    The arogance of the Liberals is justified though.
    They say to Canadians,”Vote for us so we can steal your money”. Canadians lap it up and vote for them. How can anyone be so stupid as to vote for someone who has a record of stealing from them? It’s like giving the combination to a new safe to the thief who just robbed your old one.

  4. Maz2, You are now on my wavelength. I’m so glad you pointed this out.
    ON it’s own, the secrecy clamp may seem not so ominous, but in concert with all the other Libranos secrecy muzzeling, it is very ominous!
    You know, the lifetime oaths for 6,000 bureaucrats in ..[was 14 govt depts] but now 12 departments.
    This came in on my morning headlines too and I would have brought it up, if you hadn’t.

    Coffin gets conditional sentence.
    Updated: Mon. Sep. 19 2005 3:03 PM ET
    Paul Coffin, the first person convicted of fraud in the federal sponsorship scandal, has received a conditional sentence of two years less a day, to be served in the community.
    Coffin, the president of Coffin Communications, must obey a curfew of 9 p.m. on weekdays and must also speak publicly about his experience.
    Coffin pleaded guilty to 15 of the 18 counts of fraud laid against him in September 2003. Under the plea agreement reached in May, he admitted to helping defraud the federal government of $1,556,625 between 1997 and 2002.
    In August, he told a sentencing hearing that he had repaid $1 million to Ottawa by taking out a mortgage on his home, getting loans from friends and cashing in an RRSP.
    “I would like to apologize to all Canadians,” Coffin told the Montreal court, adding he was ashamed of what he had done.
    Crown prosecutor Francois Drolet told the sentencing hearing that he was not impressed by Coffin’s testimony and suggested the court send a “clear message” by sentencing Coffin to 34 months in jail.
    Coffin’s lawyers suggested a sentence of two years less a day — the sentence that Coffin received.
    The maximum sentence he could have received was 10 years.>>>

  7. maz2: Lucky he wasn’t prosecuted in the States.
    See: “Kozlowski gets lengthy term”
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050919.wtyco0919/BNStory/Business/
    Excerpt:
    ‘L. Dennis Kozlowski, the former CEO of Tyco International, was sentenced Monday to eight and one-third years to 25 years in prison Monday for stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the company.
    His codefendant, former Tyco finance chief Mark Swartz, received the same sentence, which means they will be eligible for parole after eight years and four months.’
    About what people do in Canada for murder.
    White collar criminals here are virtually and shamefully exempt from jail. Ask Lord Black of Crossharbour (much as I once enjoyed and respected him). And why is Radler being prosecuted in the US and not Canada?

  8. Visions of Libranos rappelling out of Sea Kings dropping money here and grabbing money there. Cold heartedly calculating approval and disdain. Masterfully playing province against province and group against group. And Power over all.

  9. No Canadian helicopter could lift Reg,
    Obviously not a Sea King,
    He brings money into the riding, Ie he steals from others.

    Pettigrew defends inviting chauffeur on trips

    OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Pierre Pettigrew shot back at his critics in Ottawa yesterday, calling on everyone to treat their administrative staff kindly after a furor over his decision to bring a chauffeur on foreign trips even if there was no driving to do.
    Mr. Pettigrew said in a television interview that he has no plans to bring his chauffeur, Bruno Labont�, on other overseas trips.

  11. “The harder you have worked for your money, the more desperately they crave it. It draws them like hyenas to a wounded wildebeest…
    …They are out there, just beyond the fence.”
    Solberg as usual going with the tired conservative scary stories of doom. All this paranoid fantasy and only we can save you , trust us only, reminds me of the fundies at their worst.
    The fact that lots of people actually still trust and support this guy fills me with wonder and horror.
    — end of outreach for today 😉

  12. Ahh Steve, maybe you could end the “outreach program” for the remainder of the week. Pretend it’s some sort of moonbat gaia save the earth holiday.

  13. So let me get this straight: you steal $1.5 million dollars, get caught, say you are sorry (for getting caught??) and get a 9 pm curfew on school nights? Well that will get crooks shaking in their boots.
    BTW, who appointed Justice Martin to the bench anyhow?
    Only in Canada you say? Pity.

  14. “Paranoid fantasy”
    Steve are you paid well for your allegiance to crime and it’s defence?
    Withold no sacrifice , begrudge no toil, seek no sordid gain, fear no foe, all will be well.

  15. Steve says that its the same old “tired conservative scary stories of doom”, yet goes on to snivel about how filled with horror he is at the fact Monte has supporters.
    So Steve is soiling himself over fear of a possible hidden agenda, yet accuses Monte of fear mongering? Incredible.

  16. Steve is likely a Liberal ‘insider wannabee’ he likes the cowards and he wants to get rich the cheap way, in the greasy cesspool of corruption. The east voted for the bottom feeders – let the east ‘feed’ them! Don’t plunk down anywhere near me regggie, I will tape you – force a tape worm down yor blathering throat so you will save us gas money when you ‘fly’.

  17. Re: My earlier observations and question:”BTW, who appointed Justice Martin to the bench anyhow?”
    I was using the CTV.ca story to infer that Justice fraser Martin handed out the wrist slap when infact further digging reveals it is a Justice Jean-Guy Boilard who did the deed. His name in a search brings up a lot of interesting stuff.
    As for Steve and his rose coloured glasses… sigh.

  18. I enjoyed Monte’s post. He’s a funny guy, all right.
    I remember years ago in the HOC when he mocked PMPM, then FMPM, by whipping off his specs and pointing with them at FMPM exactly like Paulie does all the time, plus often with a pen in the same hand. What a spectacle the PM is!
    And how the hell can PMPM drink so much water and not have to wee for the duration of a budget speech? What’s up with that?!

  19. Monte’s got one of the best blogs out there. Man is that guy clever. Hat’s off to him for speaking his mind, even though he’s an MP. It’s that kind of refreshing candour that this country needs.

  20. While Steve coos over his ScotchGuarded Anne Mclellan posters,Normal taxpayers are getting squeezed like an orange by the red devils we know.Shutup you western rednecks,eastern rural(non Toronto)hicks and just pay your taxes.We liberal elites know what is best for you…more of us,,,more “values”..the” balanced approach “.Give me a freaking break from the Steves of the world!!!!!

    No need to distinguish. They are normally one and the same.

  22. Seems some of the slime has crawled out from under the rock and goes by the name of ‘Steve.’ Of course he couldn’t survive the light of the day for long and has since slithered back under.

  23. I find it interesting that Steve thinks Monte’s humorous take on Liberal corruption is a paranoid fantasty… on the same day that Coffin is ‘sentenced’ for scamming 1.5 mil of our money!

  24. If Alcock pulled this aerial cat burgler feat, he has less than a 50 % chance of surviving it… more than half the households in Alberta have the firepower to cut his escape rope with one well placed scatter gun blast…once captive to the ground, the dogs can have at ’em…right Monte 😉
    BTW: Alberta is rat free so this is something for merauding Liberal rodents to remember.
