Here’s a bit of a vanity blog entry: Last week I blogged a suggestion to the Liberal government of Canada. Stephen Harper must have read it (and then covered his eyes so he wouldn’t have to see any other entry).
If the Liberal government in Ottawa is now launching lawsuits to recover “Sponsorship Scandal” money which was paid by the Chretien/Martin Liberal Government to Liberal Party-friendly media companies (for nothing of value, apparently, except kickbacks in the form of donations to the Liberal Party), isn’t that a tacit admission of guilt?
And shouldn’t the Liberal Party be paying for all of this, instead of taxpayers? I think the government should leave the tobacco companies alone—go after the Liberal Party of Canada instead. People knew not to smoke, and smoking is legal. There’s other differences too: smoking doesn’t stink as bad, for example.
Suggestions for Irwin Cotler, Liberal Minister of Gay Marriage and Minority Justice: Start with a $250 million lawsuit against the Liberal Party of Canada. Oh but by the way, Cotler, I’d like to vet the lawyers you hire to bring your lawsuit against the Liberal Party, just to ensure they’re good conservatives. No use going round in circles here.
Or perhaps a taxpayer-led $250 million class-action lawsuit against the Liberal Party of Canada, where taxpayers would simply get their hard-earned cash back.
These are just suggestions.
