Onetime Liberal MP Sarkis Assadourian says he never did a day's work after being appointed a special adviser to former prime minister Paul Martin.
Shortly before the 2004 election, Assadourian agreed to step aside in his Brampton riding so that a star recruit, Ruby Dhalla, could run for the Liberals in his stead. In return, Martin gave him a job as a special foreign policy adviser.
"They put out a press release and he said to the media and the nation with a straight face I was working with him as (his) adviser on the south Caucasus and Middle East," Assadourian said in an interview.
"The whole thing was a lie . . . I never a single day worked in his office. I was never paid a single penny."
Well, read it all.
Draw your own conclusion.
My conclusion is that this is yet more proof that Liberals lie, and lie a lot. It's part of Liberal culture.
And it's destroying the Liberal Party of Canada.
So be it.
Why would anyone in their right mind ever vote Liberal, considering how terrible their record has been as government and their incredible, unprecedented-in-scope-and-intensity corruption and dishonesty?
It's like knowingly hiring a convicted serial kleptomaniac to work in a jewellery store!
