The National Post is reporting that pole-dancer-crazed Immigration Minister Judy Sgro is being investigated for wrongdoing…. by none other than…. duly appointed Liberal Party pals. Oh my. How unusual for the Liberals.
‘Isn’t a conflict that I can see,’ says one of the law firm’s partners. But then Liberals think being Liberal is in the Constitution.
Liberals, including the extreme lefties of the NDP, honestly—in the deepest part of their souls—believe that they can live by an absolutely different set of rules and standards than the rest of us. They see absolutely nothing wrong with the corruption they are involved in. The liberal media in turn sees no reason to be alarmed.

A partner in the firm of Borden Ladner Gervais falls under Ms. Sgro’s authority as chairman of a regulatory body overseeing immigration consultants.
And David Scott, one of the two lawyers appointed by Bernard Shapiro, the federal ethics commissioner, to investigate Ms. Sgro’s activities, has frequently represented Jean Chretien in a number of ethics-related cases involving the former prime minister, including the federal inquiry into the sponsorship scandal.
[…] “When I read the story [about the investigation] this morning, I thought, ‘Oh, my God,’ ” said Sergio Karas, a top Toronto immigration lawyer. “It doesn’t help the cause of transparency … I think it’s a bit strange.”
[…] However Mr. Karas said Borden Ladner Gervais is known as a firm with strong Liberal connections. Since 2000, it has contributed $165,000 to the party and individual Liberal candidates, more than twice the sum it has given the Conservatives, according to Elections Canada figures.
[…] Mr. Scott has represented Mr. Chretien in a number of high-profile cases. The firm was paid more than $300,000 to represent the then prime minister in a dispute over whether he should have to publicly release secret agenda books. Mr. Scott also represented him in the Grand-Mere Golf Club affair and at the inquiry into the sponsorship scandal. […]
