The Toronto Sun has been my go-to site this morning for information and bright commentary on the Liberals. In this news article, Maria McClintock, who’s been following the Liberals’ ongoing corruption scandal inquiry very closely, reports that $15 MILLION in expenses were paid by the Liberals on behalf you YOU, the TAXPAYER, to just one Liberal-friendly media company.
ONE OF the key ad executives at the centre of the sponsorship scandal was paid more than $15 million in expenses over four years by the federal government, the Toronto Sun has learned. Jean Lafleur and his firm, Lafleur Communications, earned the millions between 1998 and 2002, according to documents obtained under Access to Information that detail additional cash paid out by the feds to Lafleur.
The government refused to make public 24 pages of documents that show Lafleur’s expenses in 1995 and 1996, citing that the information contained in them is part of an ongoing RCMP investigation into the $250-million federal sponsorship program.
Lafleur is scheduled to be the first witness to appear when the Gomery inquiry resumes tomorrow, this time in Montreal.
The commission has heard that in 1996 Lafleur got all $17 million worth of government sponsorship contracts and often charged 17.9% commissions.
LUXURY ARENA BOX
The inquiry has also heard former sponsorship head Chuck Guite and some politicians and heads of Crown corporations were Lafleur’s guests at his luxury box at the Molson Centre in Montreal and were often treated to outings like salmon fishing expeditions.

Read the rest of this, people, especially liberals—and be honest with yourselves even if your party so hates this country and its people that they find it impossible to be honest with you and the rest of their countrymen.
