I had an earlier heads up on this, but was out when it went live. So, I’ll just save the bother and give you the links.
Ed Morrissey;
A source within Canadian political and media circles informed CQ earlier this afternoon that the media will break a story on an almost-forgotten scandal involving Options Canada, where $4.8 million disappeared without much oversight from the Liberal government in 1995. The money came from the Heritage Canada office, which disbursed the grant in three rushed payments on the eve of the 1995 referendum on autonomy for Quebec. The Ottawa Citizen
reported in 2000 that the Liberal government had buried the scandal and closed its investigation without ever determining what happened to the millions of dollars given to Options Canada, which later merged into the No campaign on the referendum:
The federal government has quietly closed the books on a controversial $4.8-million grant to an obscure Montreal federalist group, but how the money was spent is still a mystery.
The Globe and Mail makes it official; the RCMP have been called in.
Angry looks into Claude Dauphin;
” the senior advisor to the Minister of Finance and former president of Option Canada, who, two and a half years after the fact, still cannot tell the people of Quebec and Canada how, in the midst of the referendum period, he spent $4.8 million in 33 days.
Serious. But probably insignificant to many voters I gather.
Let’s hope a Conservative government will allow the Auditor General free reign to reveal all the scandals throughout the last 13 years.
Well remember playing monopoly when you were a kid… The Liberal’s should: GO TO JAIL! DIRECTLY TO JAIL! DO NOT PASS GO! DO NOT COLLECT $200.00! (Here’s hoping that they don’t have a get out of jail free card!)
Lovely ๐ I was watching Duffy this evening when CTV finally clued in on this, and one of the next guests up was Landslide Annie herself; she looked like she had swallowed a toad, and it had decided it wasn’t going to give up without a fight ๐
I am 100% sure the Conservatives, if and when they form a government, will be picking through the books on the last 13 years with a fine tooth comb. The Liberals are crooks, and like all good crooks, they are stupid, and they will forget cover all their tracks because they are arrogant. Lots a skeletons, and I am sure Harper is going into that graveyard with a backhoe, not a shovel.
What I want is for the Conservative Government to sue the Liberals for the cost of the lost 150 mil in the Scandal, and the cost of Gomery’s inquiry which was what 300 mil. They should be held liable for that as Gomery pinned Liberal party members.
Bury the fuckers for a couple of decades in debt, or better force them into bankruptcy so that they have to recreate themselves from the top down.
That will take some of the stuffing out the liberal elites shirts for a few years… if only fighting the court battles.
Sorry about the language
This scandal appears to be too close to Paul Martin for him to plausably disassociate himself from. The timing can’t be a coincidence!
The Liberals represent Scandadian values!
What’s next??
Discovery Channel Mythbusters investigate Liberal Corruption….
“CONFIRMED”
Life is Good ๐
“You have a problem? Go see Judge Gomery, go see the RCMP.” – Paul Martin, first english debate, December 16, 2005.
Fantastic, Wonderful. This news could not have come at a better time for all Canadians. These crooks who have stolen from our country may now get what they earned. Our legacy to our children must be to leave them with an honest country. If the voters still keep these crooks than the country is not worth saving.
$154.8 Million Reasons To Vote Liberal!
mel, if the liberanos stay in power, it would not be because the country decided that way, but because Ontario has decided that way.
The timing for this is horrible.
Paul Martin was just singlehandedly (because he’s a far superior leader than Stephen Harper) leading a surprise majestic comeback, having overcome all fallout from every other Liberal corruption scandal.
The more important story is the Quebec polls – that federalist Quebecers are beginning to see that their interests and the future of Canada are better protected by a party which hasn’t displayed massive corruption over the last 12-years.
Well it’s a good thing Martin is campaigning on the Liberal values. Yes there is a differance between Conservitive and Liberal values Paul.
The RCMP are going to ask for an increase to their budget, just to investigate theft by the Liberal Party of Canada. Maybe they’ll trip across a grow-op on Parliament Hill. These guys have to be smokin’ some kind of funny weed to embarrass themselves this much. The river ‘Disaster’ keeps rushing through the back room of Liberal election headquaters everyday. Now they think that there is some sort of leak going on in the Paul Martin flotilla that is causing the ship Liberal to list dangerously out of control. Maybe they’re using one of our Canadian subs we bought with our children’s future! Canada, it’s time to lock them into our crosshairs and sink them. Who said it’s the wrong time of year for an election. This is great winter entertainment!
I have no doubt that there is nothing to this. Peter Mansbridge covered the entire story tonight in 7.5 seconds.
It’s been ten years since this so-called scandal occurred and yet not one episode of The Passionate Eye has been devoted to it; whereas in the 258 weeks that Bush has been President there have been at least 50 stories (or so it seems) on the dangers to international order, democracy, freedom and indeed decency, posed by that evil administration.
Surely, if there was anything to this story the CBC would have been all over it discharging their mandate of explaining Canada to Canadians.
Well said, Terry Gain.
Of course, it’s possible that the evil puppet master Karl Rove is behind all these spurious police investigations to aid the election efforts of the scary pro-Americans.
Maybe Peter Newman could turn it into the next Mulroney Tapes Docu-Drama by January 22.
this is just another nail in the liebral coffin. however i’m more interested in the one thats been perculating for about a week now. thats the contract to a.e.lepage to move civil servants around the country. seems there were also some trips to exotic places. its a 2B+ contract as i understand it. alas MSM won’t touch it with a ten foot pole because a.e. lepage does a ton of advertising with them. can only hope.
I also caught the Duffy interview. Watching Landslide Annie at a loss for words, squirming in her chair was worth the price of this entire election.
The Grope & Flail is reporting that Heritage Canada called in the Mounties due to the pending release of a book by MSM journalist Normand Lester.
It appears the beurocrats can read the writing on the wall and are reverting to the golden rule of beurocracy. CYA kids CYA!!!
I wonder if Dithers wants to answer questions on this one???
I’m glad that this is being investigated. Looks good on the crooks – er, Liberals. But, whatever happened to the Public Works relocation thingy I read about a couple of days ago? Did I miss something critical?
I mentioned it over at AGWN and you’d think I’d just let one fly. I seem to have cleared the room…
I’ve been watching the CTV clips of Fife and Duffy, and it’s brillant, they are just hacking the crap out of the Liberals…
CTV pissing down on the Libs, the Globe whacking them around, the Star Columnists kicking them in the knee’s right after the rest have had a go… even CBC is turning coat.
Best of all, Harper is keeping his mouth shut, and he’s got a death grip on mouths of the whacko CPCer’s.
This is the best New Year’s EVER!!!!
Terry Gain:
Uh, that was SARCASM, right?
Ya, thought so…
OT: Did anyone notice the change tonight in the UBC election stock market. At 6:00 PM EST is was around even with 113 seats for the Liberals and Conservatives. Now at 11:30 EST it is Liberals 95, Conservatives 129. Has anyone seen volatility like this before?
There is around $42,000 invested in this so the market participants are putting their money where they think they will get the best returns.
http://esm.ubc.ca/CA06/index.php
I think the most impressive number I’ve seen today is EKOS putting the Cons at 20% in Le Belle province. 21% means 5 to 7 seats.

Are you referring to this?

The following just delivered to the “CalgaryGrit” who actually is a fairly open minded guy for a Liberal, but has a few fanatics that like to blast away nonsense facts that never existed in their idol whoreship of Paul M.
The Tory Driveby:
——————————————–
20% of Quebec = 5 to 7 seats mathmatically.
How bout the newest scandal eh?
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060105.woptions0105/BNStory/Front/
What happened to landslide Annie tonight anyway, she looked like Duffy stuffed a canary in her mouth when he brought up the “Options Scandal” Which will be coming to a Globe and Mail Press Release at the link above for you.
Being a Tory, I’m liken this.
—————————————–
You just know they are going to stare at the link above like little Kids who know where the X’mas presents are, but don’t want to look because they never get what they want.
rich
thats the one !!!
So, how much more of this, exactly, can the Liberals take? Every week a new scandal or criminal investigation. Yet, they still have 30 percent support?????? Whats wrong with these people?
…..Oh, yeah. I forgot:
….”Because I believe everything that the Liberal controlled media tells me, especially the CBC.”
….”Because I have the IQ of a doorknob and am easily sucked in by Liberal scare tactics and propaganda; and am easily bought off with my own tax money.”
That explains the 30 percent.
D-man,
Let em’ believe, let em’ believe. All the press has to say is not favoring the Liberals, so I say CBC you Liberal bias bastards, report the truth and the Conservatives will set you free… to the unemployment line I hope. Someone earlier called it.
It’s “CYA” time at the CBC.
And now for something completely different:
Do you think Laurie Hawn is hoisting a scotch and laughing his ass off tonight… I think so.
Go Laurie!
Just think how boring the papers and blogs will be after January…
Then again think again if you believe the CPC can get things turned around. If they spent all their energy cleaning up the house, there wouldn’t be anything left to run the country.
Imagine all the Minister’s and their support teams out of work in government jobs. It’s like trying to fix the auto industry. Sure we could build better cars, but look at all the mechanics and salespeople who will be out of a job.
cheers
tom
The last great hurdle for the CPC was to win over the media. Two years and a lot of personal contact has shown them that Harper is a good guy who just happens to be brilliant.
The frothing rabid Scott Reid and his scare tactics with regard to the media has had the opposite affect (Bush’s admin has made the same error).
If they can hit 25% in Quebec we may be looking at a majority…(please, please, please)
Comment 2 Bruce: Watch what you say. Marijuana could end up being the cash crop that saves agriculture in Canda.
Don’t forget, the only reason why this is coming out because of “…, an official at Canadian Heritage said the department called in the police after hearing that Option Canada was the focus of an upcoming book by Quebec investigative journalist Normand Lester”
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060105.woptions0105/BNStory/Front/
This issue has already been raised before by the Bloc 10 years ago. I think we all owe Norm a thanks.
Why don’t the Liberals surrender already? How can they think they’ll somehow survive all of this devastating bombardment? Japan had the sense to surrender or suffer more of the same of what happened in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Why not the Liberals? Looks like they’ll take the whole party down with Paulie…
Very well… bombs awaaaaaaay!
One torpedo in the engine room.
2nd torpedo in the munitions magazine.
Torpedos 3, 4 are “fish in the water.”
Open up the sea cocks and scuttle the battleship Lieberal.
I only need to know if she goes down in 30 minutes; or whether she goes down in 3 minutes after she splits appart into pieces.
re: Anne McLellan on Mike Duffy. I heard her say No, never heard about this before tonight. Funny, I checked one of the Hansard links from Angry related to Sheila Copps; dated March 17/1998 @ 1440, 10 nminutes later Anne Mclellan was fielding questions on firearms. I’d like to see a tape of that QP.
Dark, dirty political games & more? >>>
Liberals tearing the country apart
We Conservative supporters can find some short term happiness in the latest Liberal scandal that the RCMP is looking into but there is a lot of work to do to repair the damage the Liberals have done to this country.
According to the Globe and Mail:
However, an official at Canadian Heritage said the department called in the police after hearing that Option Canada was the focus of an upcoming book by Quebec investigative journalist Normand Lester.
From a quick glance, it seems Normand Lester is no fan of this country. More ammunition for the separatists.
Another addition to the Chretien/Martin/Liberal legacy.>>>

Thanks to the Liberals and our SCC, Canada has become a Sweden-Cuba hybrid. You can screw anybody, anything, anywhere, and as many as you want at a time, all sanctioned by a corrupt, amoral, unethical regime. Watch for the RCMP to suddenly enjoy doing their jobs, thanks to a sound Law & Order policy by the Tories.
Look people you have to start to wonder why this party is self destructing during an election with the seeming help of their pals in the MSM being so compliant at printing every small scandal from years past leaked out of the Liberal camp at such a time.
Do you get the impression someone in the Liberal party long term strategy planning department wants to dump this election just to tank Martin?
WLMR: A Toronto talk show host was remarking on this over Christmas. A few Toronto Liberal MPs, who aspire to replace Martin, have apparently been telling their constituents to vote Tory this time round to force a Liberal leadership debate. They figure the Tories might be good for a term, allowing the Libs to replace their leader with say, a Volpe or Iggy-Flop or even, hmmm, a dumb blonde who aspires to Billary Clinton like-status.
Prime Minister Paul Martin and his Liberals are not honest politicians.This man, who is sitting in Prime Minister’s office in Ottawa has ignored the voices of people, who had suffered from his vicious polices.Since 1993 as finance minister, Mr. Martin engaged for planning of very destructive polices and bringinig of poverty and deaths into lives of people in Canada.
Prime Minister travels to Victoria and its medical university to present his new sorts of decptions and lies.More than 2 years this prime ministers and his liberals terrorized
me;they ruined my life and my professional career.
I’m a scientist with a PhD degree in biomedical sciences from the School of Medicine in German; my PhD and certificated have been accepted and
recognized in Canada, but Prime Minister Paul Martin are practyicing the regime of apartheid in Canada.They don’t permit scientists, doctors and academic immigrants, who have accepted certificates in Canada, because of their races, ethnicities and religions to work in departments, agenices Mr. Martin is lying as he lied at the Victoria university;he has lied over
the last two decades to the people. Most of his promises are lies and are onthe basis of demagogy.
I complained to the United Nations; to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Kofi Annan and his deputy Mme Louise Frechette; and also to the High Commissioner of the Human Rights Commissioner in Switzerland Mme Louise Arboure.
The petition unit of the Human Rights Commission has investigated the discriminatory behavor of the federal and provincial governments of
Canada; the United Nations expects from me to collect all evidences and legal documents for the condemnation of this inhuman and vicious
policies of the Paul Martin and his Liberals.

The insult of a Ottawa police and detective against me as a scientist was
one of the most worst issue for me and also for authorities of the United Nations; because of its correlation with Paul Martin, Ralph Goodale and other Liberals and because of involvement of the government for violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedom in Canada.

Prime Minister Paul Martin is really prone to flip-flopping.
He misuses the Charter of Rights and Freedoms only because of his victory in the upcoming election; he has no respect to the principles of Human Rights.
Under his dictatorship, Parliament of Westminister-style democracy has lost its supremacy; many MPs have no powers; they are the toiletpapaers-servicemen in the washrooms of the prime minister in Ottawa.
The fiscal imbalance and strong dependecny of all provinces to dictator of Ottawa for receiving any money has ruined all infrastructures in Canada.
Prime Minister appoints Spreme Court Judges, chooses the cabinet, dominates caucus and, is rejecting local candidates and selcts favoured individuals to run in election.
The apartheid system of patronage system and having a Parliament without power and ministers, who are the gaents of the wills of the primje minister have destructed all infrastructures of Canada for ruling of a dicator in Canada.
My life has been ruined because the law is not able to support of the lives in this country.
I thank you for your attention.
Sincerely yours,

After many unsuccessful communications with the Prime Minister’s office in 2004, I recieved an email from the executive correspondent officer of PMO; it was recommended for working in departments, I must apply to Public Service Commission. In January 11, 2005, I received an email from the office of Ruth Thorkelson, deputy chief of staff to the prime minister, PMO.
Mme Ruth Thorkeslon admired my qualification and PhD; she wrote me, she understands my frustration and my catastrophic situation in Canada; later she asked me for sending of my CV to her office in PMO and also Public Service Commission.
I was very happy that Mme Ruth Thorkelson is honest anhd is ready to help me or to listen my voice.
Since January 2004, I was applying for employment everywhere througout Canada.
I’ve a PhD degree in the biomedical sciences from School of Medicine in Germany; my certificates have been recognized in Canada.
Later, Mme Ruth Thorkeslon and her secretary, Ms. Dorothy Defalco informed me receiving of my CV; they added they’ve filed my application for any opportunities.
And every week, I wrote to her office; I wrote how long strvation, how long deprivation, how long humiliation; but they (Mme. Thorkelson and Defalco) ignored me and my suffocated voie for help.
After meeting of the Liberals in Regina in August 2005 and decision-makings for the next possible election in 2006, Mme Thorkelson and Ms. Defalco left PMO for their involvement on the important issues of the next election.
Neither Public Service Commission (PSC) with its President Dr. Maria Barrados nor Prime Minister’s office (PMO) respected their own polices.
They have not learned anything about the federal accountability; transparency and respecting of the Charter of Rights and Freedom.
Dr. Maria Barrados in PSC was deputy of Mme Sheila Fraser in the federal Auditor General’s office; they ignored the complaints of Minister of Heritage in 1996-1997 due to Option Canada.
Minister of Heritage, Mme Sheila Copps wrote a letter to the federal Auditor Gerenal’s office in Ottawa for investiagtion of waste of the taxpaperys’ money in 1995 referendum of Quebec; but Mme Sheila Fraser and Dr. Maria Barrados ignored the request of Minister of Heritage.
And this Dr.Maria Barrados as a a sociologist ignored to listen to my voice as I wrote her many times to Public Service Commission.
She, even ordered to Ms. Mariperle Cadiux, who is an employment consultant in PSC to ignore my emails; it’s unbelievable this kind of tyranny in PSC!
Both PSC and PMO had registered my CV and application, but ignored my voice.
After 2 years, after thousands applications for employment, I’ve been ignored.
The government of Canada is saying it has the lowest rate of unemployment over the last 30 years; it says it has over 10-billion dollars surplus in budget; it says the econmoy is in the best condition.
If all claims from the government are true, why after 2 years, a scientist like me is ignored?
Why Mme Ruth Thorkelson ignored my voice?
Why Prime Minister of Canada ignored my voice?
Why Public Serrvice Commission (PSC) ignored my voice?
Am I a human?
Am I a scientist?
Why ignoring?
Election for ignoring of people?
Election for lies?
Do I have the right for life?
Sincerely yours,
