Liberals in Canada must be going batty with this moniker the National Post’s Don Martin has slapped on their little secret (hitherto known as) Adscam, Sponsorship, Doling Out Taxpayer Loot, Liberals Acting Normal….
“Canada’s Watergate”.
Liberals hate America, and yet here it is, the uglies being thrust at them almost like they’re the same folk. Actually, pound for pound, Watergate was a sweet-smelling rose compared to this Liberal Party scandal. Liberals should be happy it’s only being dubbed “Canada’s Watergate”.
I would have chosen “Liberals’ Watergate”, personally. It’s not my mistakes at play, here.
He glanced at reporters salivating to escape his news quarantine, looked at the bank of television cameras carrying his inquiry live for the first time in a week and issued the order: Unleash hell.
When Justice John Gomery lifted his own publication ban Thursday on jaw-dropping testimony by Groupaction president Jean Brault, a nightmare of allegations against the federal Liberal party gushed forth into the public domain in a firestorm of ferocity.

The Liberals swapped cash for contracts, kicked back money for nothing and traded payola for spots on Brault’s payroll.
It’s the darkest side of ugly Canadian politics, confirming every cynic’s worst suspicions that grease and slime lubricate the wheels of government activity.
If Brault’s allegations stick and voter revulsion spreads beyond Quebec, this Liberal government’s fate can now be carved in six words on its sponsorship program tombstone: Extortion. Kickbacks. Forgeries. Blackmail. Fraud. Waste.
Brault painted a graphic picture of Liberal conduct in Quebec as that of a secret mutual backscratching society where public money was laundered through bogus business deals to fill up cash-strapped Liberal party coffers. It was bold, crass, transparent sleaze with organized crime overtones, complete with cartoon-caper nicknames like White Head for one top operative or Choo Choo Man for the head of Via Rail.
