Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Insider trading on the stock market.
You’re part of the government, you know what new Programs your caucus is planning on implementing with the Monies their borrowing(at interest) in the taxpayers’ name. You invest in those areas or even in the companies that you know your regime is going to give the contracts to. You save the influence peddling for after you retire on your gold plated pension.(if you’re smart)
Aren’t senators legally exempted from conflict of interest charges in stock and real estate transactions?
Chretien comes to mind for some reason.
Chretian married into the Desmarais familly, as did several prominate Liberals
Maggie…exactly who came to mind for me as well. All these politicians using their positions and power to “farm” corporations for cash.
The only solution is to very severely reduce the size of government. Government needs to be at least 10% the size it is now. And I have a feeling if we ever got there (not gonna happen) we could reduce it further.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
If it wasn’t so, few indeed would stay in politics.
Becoming a US senator is about as good as it gets. They openly barter their ‘services’ on the open market.
The clintons and obama did ok for themselves……
In Canada it helps to be part of the laurentien elite (read from quebek). Da liddle thief parlayed his ‘skills’ into a sizable estate. Mulroney stayed outa jail and amassed a pretty good grub steak. There are a lot of quebek traitors that did alright for themselves. T1’s cabinet was full of grifters as was chretiens.
The Clintons and the Obama’s need to be investigated. I am suspicious the tgrt not helped themselves to come if that cash delivered on Pallets to Iran — along with other nefarious schemes. Clinton stated during the campaign that if Trump got in truly were all going yo jail. Why has not some journalist asked her about that statement?
That Petro-Fina Petro-Canannada stock swap made PET three hundred million dollars in 1982.
I expect Justin is already a billionaire or will be soon.
vance very few people ever look at the Petro-Canada deal that made the Trudeau family very wealthy. It has to be one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on the Canadian people.
Rush had a good piece on just how US politicians get rich. Quite an eye opener.
