We Must Question All Judges as We Do Politicians


I've done it again: written something in my comments section that I find worthy of sharing via a regular post. This time it's regarding the need to not automatically assume that judges are perfectly impartial and can never be corrupt, for we know deep down in the intellect that it's not true for judges any more than it is for the politicians who appointed them to the bench. We are strongly admonished by authoirities to brainlessly revere judges as always honest and impartial with no political or social policy agenda of their own. We must resist this elitist pressure for the good of the country and for democracy.
Here it is:
Gomery himself is looking more and more suspicious to me. Why do we have to automatically assume that judges are immune to being corrupt or dishonest or playing partisan politics or protecting their political masters or being militant social policy activists hellbent on reengineering the foundation of the nation and its society, the law and constitution be damned? Judges are human. Humans are corruptible, like politicians. Therefore, judges are corruptible. We must, therefore, assume as much and question all judges and their rulings, else they'll become increasingly emboldened and play the role of the absolute authoritarian dictators their political masters would like to be but cannot. Inquiries and their commissioners must as well be questioned. What's preventing the electorate from questioning Judge Gomery? If we don't, then if our Prime Minister is guilty of wrongdoing (remember, I said "if", just for the PM's lawyers' satisfaction), then he or she will get off scot free and win another election due to the lack of knowledge on the part of the voters of the truth.The people must be far more assertive in demanding full accountability. Democracy depends on it.
How do we know the Gomery Inquiry is impartial and has really looked everywhere at everyone who may have had something to do with the brazen theft of so many millions of our tax dollars via the gargantuan ripoff called Adscam?
Don't expect the mainstream media to do it for us. They don't want to get fired like their colleagues have been for asking the necessary questions. Ask the questions of your friends in person and on your blogs. Let the idea get out there and spread. It's for the better of our country and democracy.

Support the Troops

From Rebekah at Eye Of The Storm:
OPERATION GREEN SHIRT, YELLOW RIBBON

Okay, it's offical now. Operation Green shirt/ Yellow ribbon has been launched! Please spread the word. From now on, every Friday wear green(preferably hunter green) with a yellow ribbon on your lapel or around your wrist. This is a counter to the movement to wear black "until our troops come home".The green will symbolize our support for our troops and their mission. They are placing their lives on the line for a noble cause and we must never forget it.The yellow will symbolize our hope for them to come home soon, safe and sound.Like I said, please spread the word on your blogs, and comment on others' blogs as well. That's what I'm gonna do.
It's an excellent idea. I'm going to buy a couple of new green shirts. Wonder where I can get a yellow ribbon? 'Course, I could make one myself out of some yellow ribbon... duh!
You go, Rebekah!

Liberals Culpable for Wrongdoing, To Be Fired: Voters to Rule in Election




I have just finished writing something in my comments section and realized that my more casual musings therein are very much worthy of being posted as a regular posting and are valuable with a view to helping Canadian voters to regain their proper, rightful perspective with respect to the government in power at the moment. An election will shortly be called and this one is the most critical crossroads in Canada's history as it will affect the very future of the Federation: will it continue or will it not? Will Canada be put back on track to deal with the challenges of the future so it can continue to move steadily towards its potential or will it be condemned to mediocrity and breakup under "Liberal" rule?
Here's the post:
Folks, thanks a million for the feedback and tips.

Aizlynne, yes, the interrelationships between Martin, Gomery and Garneau aren't that easy to see at first glance, but the more one looks and thinks about the whole picture, the more one sees how bad it at least looks. No smoking gun, but people have been convicted of murder one without a weapon and even without a body. It's the evidence that counts and what the jury believes that matters. Politics isn't about proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt; it's about what is decided by the jury of the electorate who either give the thumbs up or thumbs down to the accused. And in civil trials, at least in America, all one needs for a finding of culpability is the "preponderance of evidence" leading to a reasonable belief of guilt.

And the preponderance of evidence is so gargantuan and so staggering as to Liberal corruption and guilt in pretty much everything they do in the running of the whole country. We've seen it all ever since the crooks came to power the easy way and stayed in power by cheating and by bribing the voters. The linkages here between the players in Adscam and the Inquiry are sufficient for a conclusion of culpability and liability by the jury of the electorate.

It doesn't matter whether the police deem the Liberals as actually having committed a criminal offence. The Liberal Party is not a private individual citizen and therefore isn't subject to the protections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as are individual citizens. The Liberal Party is subject only to what the people think of them and is only in government at the pleasure of the voters, and it knows this very well. Hence their uncanny ability to manipulate pretty much everything within their power, be it legitimate or illegitimate, in the country. They do exert influence and control over virtually all insitutions, including the MSM (via CRTC, etc.), the judiciary (via extreme partisan crony loyalty, etc.), the RCMP (we know this by simply having observed what's been going on between the government and the RCMP over the years-- no smoking gun necessary!) and so on and so forth. Is there any doubt now as to the Liberals being filthily corrupt as well as cavalierly incompetent to a degree never seen before in Canadian history? Do we have enough evidence to damn them to hell and throw them out of power like a dead rat out of the house?

We, the jury of the voters, find the Liberal Party of Canada, regardless of its leadership, to be liable for its worthlessness and multitudes of offences against Canada and Canadians over the past few decades.

So ruled. Bailiff, remove the damned Party from the courtroom. *Gavel pounds*

The Gomery Inquiry: Impartial, Fair, Balanced & Broad-Reaching OR Whitewash of Paul Martin's Role in Adscam? Paul's Revenge on Jean?


I've lately been closesly examining the whole Gomery Inquiry into Adscam and the players involved. I have come to realize that Canadians aren't getting the complete picture of all the astonishing corruption and eye-opening relationships and connections surrounding the whole sordid matter.
I feel it's now time to summarize what's most important of what I've found. The basis for this summary stems from the following recent posts here on the Canadian Sentinel: Judge Gomery & PM Martin: The CSL Connection and Judge Gomery, PM Martin, Raymond Garneau: More Disturbing Connections
Be certain to read them and examine the links provided.
We all know about Adscam, the Liberal sponsorship program allegedly implemented to combat the threat of Quebec separatism following the separation referendum of 1995. The basic idea behind the program was to boost the visibility of Canada and the federal government via advertising via sponsoring various events such as in the sports and cultural areas. It's as simple as placing a big sign saying "Canada" on it or having "Canada" stitched on some famous player's clothing and that sort of thing. The cost? $250 million. Sounds like a massive rip-off for such simple stuff as that, doesn't it? I would say it certainly is! A quarter billion bucks to advertise the word "Canada". That's the biggest, most effective weapon the Liberal Party of Canada could muster to fight the Quebec separatists? Scary-- just imagine how they would respond to WWIII or a 9/11-type attack in Canada... plainly, simply scary! The Liberals are obviously imbeciles if they thought a horrendously overpriced program like Adscam would be of any worth whatsoever. After all, the separatist Bloc Quebecois is poised to more or less sweep Quebec in the upcoming federal election and separatism support is way up. Nicely done, Jean and Paul.
Approximately $100 million of that was stolen, hence the Inquiry.
Also important to note: the terms of reference provided by Martin for Gomery prevented Gomery from investigating Martin's possible involvement in Adscam. No wonder Gomery had no choice but to "exonerate" Martin of any wrongdoing. He was, for example, unable to delve into the Earnscliffe affair.
Now to the Gomery Inquiry matter.
Judge John Gomery, a Liberal, was appointed by Prime Minister Paul Martin to head the Inquiry into Adscam. Sure, appointing a Liberal was no big surprise, for the Liberals are famous for their patronage and cronyism and publicly express pride therein. But there's more, and far worse, far more disturbing than a simple patronage appointment.
Enter Raymond Garneau, whom Judge Gomery appointed to oversee the advisory body responsible for advising him during Phase 2 of the Inquiry's Report, the "Recommendations" phase.
Garneau had a financial interest in the loan syndicate which provided the financial wherewithal for the then-cash-insufficient Paul Martin to acquire Canada Steamship Lines.
Garneau was also CEO of the Montreal City and District Savings bank, which was the bank used by the Caruana/Cuntrera crime family for which former Liberal Public Works Minister Alfonso Gagliano (also technically in charge-- in terms of contracting -- of the sponsorship program, though he has denied any wrongdoing therewith) worked as an accountant. The bank in question was apparently used for the laundering of $21 million by said crime family.
Garneau was appointed by Martin when he was Finance Minister to the Board of Directors of the Bank of Canada. Garneau was later fired by then-PM Jean Chretien (whom Gomery blamed for Adscam in Phase 1 of his Report) for declaring Chretien should resign so Martin could replace him.
We the Canadian people must now ask why Judge Gomery appointed, of all people, Raymond Garneau, considering all of the above-- there's a very clear conflict of interest here between Garneau and Martin. Judge Gomery owes us an explanation! Did he make an error in judgement and fail to have a background check performed on Garneau? Why did he choose Garneau, exactly? What did he know about Garneau? Did he receive an order from the Prime Minister or a member of his staff to appoint Garneau?
Now that we know about the conflict of interest with regards to Garneau's appointment, will his appointment be terminated? If it isn't, then the entire Inquiry will have to be deemed by the reasonable Canadian citizen as worthless due to the conflict and Gomery's refusal to rectify it. Canadians could very well come to believe, in such an event, that the Inquiry was a whitewash of Paul Martin's involvement, whatever it may have been, if any, in Adscam and a personal, political vendetta by Martin against his nemesis, Chretien.
Will Judge Gomery do the right thing and cancel Raymond Garneau's appointment?
The very credibility of the whole Commission of Inquiry hangs in the balance now. And, of course, so does the credibility of Prime Minister Paul Martin. This is critically important as Canada is now on the starting line of a federal general election.
This issue is not going to go away. This voice will not be silenced.
The next move is for Martin/Gomery. Just watch them. I will be.

Judge Gomery, PM Martin, Raymond Garneau: More Disturbing Connections


Following my recent post, Judge Gomery & PM Martin: The CSL Connection, this post brings us deeper into the darkness of the connections between Justice John Gomery and Prime Minister Paul Martin.
In that previous post, it was reported that Gomery appointed Raymond Garneau, who was involved in the loan syndicate Paul Martin used to secure financing in order to acquire Canada Steamship Lines, to oversee Phase 2 of the Gomery report.
Now, from Prime Time Crime, and thanks to Maz2 for providing the link in the comments, I have discovered further astonishingly sinister relationships of which Canadians must be aware. Do read the entire thing and follow all the links within it. It's all immensely fascinating as well as disturbing and damning to the Liberal Party of Canada under Paul Martin. Spread the word!
For this post I'll focus on Mr. Garneau, as it is his appointment by Judge Gomery that is an apparent bad move; an apparent conflict of interest, as PM Martin is connected to Garneau via CSL via the loan syndicate in which Garneau was involved.
Here it is:
The loan syndicate isn't the only business in which Garneau was involved that raises disturbing questions, now involving former Public Works Minister Alfonso Gagliano and the Mafia. Garneau was the CEO of the Montreal City and District Savings bank, which was the bank used by the Caruana/Cuntrera crime family for which Alfonso Gagliano worked as an accountant. The bank in question was apparently used for the laundering of $21 million by said crime family, a fact established by RCMP Sgt. Mark Bourque. There are other links in the Prime Time Crime expose regarding Gagliano and the Mafia. See for yourself- this post is about Gomery, Garneau and Martin, mostly.
Why did Gomery choose Garneau? Did he have any background check done? Was he aware of PM Martin's financial connection to Garneau? Of his having been CEO of a bank used for money laundering by a crime family for which the former Public Works minister, Gagliano, also involved in Adscam, worked?
Did Paul Martin tell Gomery to appoint Garneau?
Remember, Gomery is a Liberal. He was appointed by Paul Martin. And he "exonerated" Martin while blaming his nemesis, former PM Jean Chretien. Which brings us to the following:

Now, all of this is suspicious and sleazy enough. The CEO of the bank used by the Caruana / Cuntreras at the time was Raymond Garneau, who was appointed by Paul Martin in his capacity as Finance Minister, to be a Director of the Bank of Canada. He was fired by Jean Chrétien after he had the temerity in 2002 to suggest it was time for Chrétien to resign in favour of Martin.

So PM Martin himself appointed Garneau to be a Director of the Bank of Canada when he was Finance Minister. Garneau called for PM Chretien's resignation so Martin could take over, earning a firing from Chretien himself.
Hmm... Garneau is obviously a Martin loyalist. Martin obviously sees him in a very favorable light. Martin appoints Gomery. Gomery appoints Garneau to help him with the inquiry. Gomery exonerates Martin and blames Chretien, while knowing full well the terms of reference given to him by Martin for the inquiry did not include any investigation into any possible involvement of Martin in Adscam. The inquiry apparently was designed to investigate Chretien's involvement.
And apparently the mainstream media won't look into the relationships, ask questions, let alone report all of this to the electorate. Just how far will the MSM go to protect the Liberal regime?
And as for the RCMP: why is it they only do these big, serious investigations upon the orders of the government? Why don't they independently keep an eye open as to possible criminality, regardless of the possible perpetrators, up to and including the Prime Minister, and launch investigations on their own without political prompting? Why is the RCMP Commissioner appointed by none other than the Prime Minister? Why has the Liberal government under both Chretien and Martin deliberately underfunded and underresourced the RCMP to the point that they cannot do their job much of the time? Recall the RCMP investigated former PM Brian Mulroney only on the say-so of the Liberal government. What have the Liberals done to the RCMP? And why doesn't the Liberal government ever take action to combat organized crime? What have they ever done with that?
What is really going on with the Liberal Party of Canada? What's going on in Canada?
Why wait forever to maybe someday find out? Vote the Liberals out of power. Vote in a new government who will do what's necessary to find the answers to the questions and put a stop to all the corruption Canadians have come to loathe in the government under the Liberals.
Whatever you do, don't vote Liberal!

Bruce Willis Supports Operation Iraqi Freedom; Pledges Million $ for Bin Laden/al Zarqawi/al Zawahiri Capture

Tough-guy actor Bruce Willis has proven he has a mind of his own; no allowing the Michael Moores of the world to tell this real man what to think. Willis has ponied up $1 million US out of his own pocket for any civilian who captures top terror leaders Osama Bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri or Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Willis recently did an interview with Michael Yon, an embedded blogger deep inside Iraq accompanying American troops as they fight to free people of the newly-democratizing nation from the clutches of the inhuman, murderous Islamofascists, both Iraqi and foreign. You can read the interview here.

Michael Yon's blog is here. Highly recommended for excellent coverage of the reality of the war in Iraq, far superior to and much more extensive than possible from the mainstream media. More truthful, too, as far as I'm concerned.

See also the National Ledger's report.

It's heartening to realize that there are still many people in the world who understand the importance of Operation Iraqi Freedom and the war on terror. The leftist "pacifists" (many of whom nevertheless utilize violence in their protests) who cultishly follow the likes of Michael Moore, who imposed upon the world his dishonestly trashy yet appallingly profitable "Fahrenheit 9/11", unfortunately don't understand the dangers the world still, as always, poses for humanity and civilization. History has taught the thinking person of the need to be vigilant and take action against evildoers when necessary, sometimes even preemptively.

For those interested in a movie contradicting Michael Moore's views, see on this site "Michael Moore Hates America". Scroll down a little for that post.

Judge Gomery & PM Martin: The CSL Connection

Based on the Canada Free Press article Martin loan syndicate runs surveillance on Justice John Gomery, I have found some interesting facts I believe Canadians should know about Justice John H. Gomery and Prime Minister Paul Martin and Martin's now-held-by-his-sons Canada Steamship Lines.
Read the article for yourself.
Here I'll try to make some sense of what exactly is the big deal and leave it to readers to formulate their own questions about the relationships and the circumstances surrounding Gomery and Martin (All emphasis mine).
Of course, Justice Gomery is a Liberal who was chosen by Martin to head the Commission of Inquiry into the sponsorship program and advertising activities.
The other names we need to know are:
-Raymond Garneau: special investor, CAI Private Equity Group (loan syndicate involved in Martin's 100% takeover of CSL equity and liabilities)
-Laurence Pathy: former CSL co-owner, sponsored the $182 million loan to Martin to take over CSL in 1990
-Paul Desmarais, Chairman, Power Corp.
-Frank McKenna, former Premier, New Brunswick, and currently Ambassador to the United States, appointed by Martin, and also a special investor in CAI Group, plus former chairman of CanWest Global, which owns the National Post
1973: Desmarais appointed Martin as President of CSL
From the article:

It seems that in June 1981, Desmarais needed a buyer, who wouldn’t tip the markets to his off-book debt-for-equity swaps, to take CSL off his hands. Martin stepped up to the plate. The CSL price tag was $195 million. Martin, who had scant money of his own, went to his sometime golfing buddy, Laurence Pathy, whose tightly held Fednav commanded Canada's biggest ocean-going fleet and assets of at least $500 million. Pathy agreed to ante up $35 million in preferred shares and to foot the cost of three new ships as collateral allowing Martin to borrow the rest. Martin turned to Desmarais's long-time backer, the Royal Bank, whose chairman sat on Power's board. Power received $30 million in preferred CSL shares. Martin has never revealed the amount of his loan from the bank or Desmarais. By the time the deal closed, the price was down to $178 million: Power kept $17 million in CSL's cash and liquid assets but did not oblige Martin to remortgage his Montreal house.

June 22, 2005: Justice Gomery appointed Raymond Garneau as chairman of an "Advisory Committee of distinguished Canadians" to "provide guidance for Phase II .. to prevent mismanagement of sponsorship programs .. in the future".
The article points out that the CanWest Global paper National Post, the day of the release of the first Gomery report, declared Martin "cleared" "before its contents could be digested".
It also points out McKenna's positions at CanWest, his involvement with the loan syndicate CAI, and his appointment as Ambassador by Martin.
The final question the article asks is:

Who dictated that Canadian Order in Council, which made Raymond Garneau–one of 28+ special investors in Paul Martin’s loan syndicate–the watchful chairman of the Justice John H. Gomery Advisory Committee?

Fascinating facts and interrelationships, are they not?
One must wonder...

Paul Martin's Orwellian Authoritarian Plans for Canada


Now that the Gomery Inquiry has confirmed the corruption of the ruling Paul Martin Liberal Party, we must look critically at the alarming plans the Liberals have for Canada. Read the entire article. It's a must-read! It was written by Beryl Wajsman, who was one of the people banned for life from the Liberal Party by Prime Minister Paul Martin. He wasn't even a member. Here's some of what he wrote:
Next month the Martin government will bring forward legislation allowing for the monitoring of e-mail and internet communications. The bill would force providers of internet and telephone services to duplicate records of their clients' activities and require, on simple request, that the information be passed on to police authorities. The proposal demands that network capacity be constructed to allow for tapping of some 8,000 individuals at any one time. Federal Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart has told Justice Minister Irwin Cotler that the law would allow security authorities to access more information about Canadians' personal lives than ever before. Yet Ottawa remains strangely silent on consideration of any judicial safeguards and oversight even in light of the fact that current evidentiary requirements for standard wiretaps have already become flimsy and shallow.
Big Brother Paul Martin will be watching us if he's re-elected yet again. Will Canadians be stupid enough to allow this to happen?
Such legislation could easily be used as a loophole to, for example, spy on political opponents, in a "legalized" Watergate-style manner. It could be used to spy on anyone for any reason the Prime Minister deems. And, as we have seen, there's no reason to believe that the Liberals have any intention to use such legislation to fight terror, as they've actually let terrorists go following the discovery of their active cell. Read the article, "Toronto Terror Cell “Dismantled”… by Freeing Ringleader", at that link. It would be reasonable, therefore, to believe the real reason for expanded state surveillance powers is to control the people, to limit their liberties, to intimidate them, etc. Do we want to always be looking over our shoulder, Soviet style, to see if the Canadian version of the KGB is watching us?
The federal Liberals have also gone on record as being committed to proceeding with Bill C-17, the Marijuana Decriminalization legislation, and with Bill C-53, the Proceeds of Crime act. Though legalization, not just decriminalization, of marijuana is long overdue, the problem of C-17 is that it also allows for random stopping of motorists to check for drugs without any necessity of probable cause as exists in the United States. C-53, which seeks to allow the government to seize any assets obtained through illegal means, also has within it the reversal of burden of proof. Unlike even the RICO statute in the U.S. or the "Guerin" law in Ireland, the Proceeds of Crime Bill would make certain accused guilty until proven innocent turning hundreds of years of civil liberties protections on its head.
Think police state. Think authoritarianism. Is this the hidden agenda of the Liberal Party of Canada? They've already ignored Commons majority votes, so what's their next step? To take away our constitutional rights?
How far will they go if they remain in power?

Gomery Confirms Liberal Corruption; Cloud Still Hangs over PM Martin with Earnscliffe Issue

Since the Gomery Inquiry report on the Adscam scandal of the ruling Paul Martin Liberals was released yesterday, much of the mainstream media (MSM) has been loudly trumpeting headlines at us declaring Prime Minister Paul Martin as "exonerated", given the lack of evidence of any direct connection of him to Adscam while he was Finance Minister. Of course, the terms of reference crafted by Martin's regime for Justice John Gomery to follow prevented him from examining Martin's involvement. For example, Gomery couldn't investigate the Earnscliffe connection. Perhaps later on a future government will order the RCMP to investigate Martin's role, if any, wrt Earnscliffe Group and the sponsorship program. Martin isn't necessarily in the clear at all. The questions as to what he knew and what he did or didn't do remain unanswered by Gomery.

Well, we have a non-MSM news outlet from America giving a different view of the report than the Canadian MSM generally is. CNSNews declares:
The chances of a December general election in Canada have mounted with the release of a judicial inquiry report confirming corruption in the governing Liberal Party.

So is the perspective of much of the MSM the only take possible? Apparently not.

We also have a Canadian non-MSM news organization, CNews, stating the following based on the Gomery report:
Justice John Gomery has delivered a serious - but not imminently fatal - blow to the governing Liberals with a finding that the party's Quebec wing ran kickback scheme to squeeze donations out of federal sponsorship contractors.

So, as I explained in my immediately previous posting on the Gomery report, the ruling Paul Martin Liberal Party is still in serious trouble following the release of Justice Gomery's findings.

After The Gomery Report: The Liberals are Still in Trouble

Ok, I've just finished watching former Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien deliver his reaction to Justice John Gomery's report on Adscam. Chretien will be challenging the report in Federal Court. Ok, so let him. It doesn't matter anyway.

Why doesn't the report matter? Why is it irrelevant that the evidence pointed more to the fault of Chretien than to current PM Paul Martin? Why shouldn't Martin and his Liberals breathe easy now?

Because the people of Canada have seen the evidence for themselves in the televised testimony at the Gomery Inquiry into the sponsorship scandal which the Liberals claimed was implemented for the purpose of "fighting the separatists". The people have already made up their minds about what happened and as to who's to blame... and who exactly is the problem.

The people of Canada know already that the Liberal Party of Canada is the problem. The Liberals are the ones found to have done all the sinister deeds involving the passing around of my and your hard-earned and easily-taken tax dollars, dollars which were given for little or no work done, and an astonishingly huge amount at that. After all, why is it necessary to pay someone huge sums of money for delivering a check to some organization? Just use FedEx at the regular rate and save us a bundle. But nope, the Liberals knew that then there'd be no way to kickback some of the money in the form of party or candidate donations. We know that people who were paid a lot of money for little or no work at all did give money to the Liberal Party. We're not stupid enough to think that politicians wouldn't do something like this as long as they believe they'll get away with it.

The point here: the Gomery Inquiry gave us the evidence we needed to confirm this: the Liberal Party of Canada is corrupt to the bone. It is completely unfit and undeserving of being the Government of Canada and we must punish them by throwing them out in the next election.

It's programmed to win power and stay in power at virtually all costs. Rules have definitely been broken. Money has definitely been stolen and given to Liberals who subsequently donated money to the Liberal Party.

Mr. Chretien was named in the report as being responsible for Adscam. He did declare he, as PM, is responsible, as are all Cabinet Ministers who are members of the Treasury Board, which included Mr. Martin. Therefore, as Chretien said, Martin knew just as much as he did, as he was fully aware of the sponsorship program and voted in favor of its implementation.

So, with the overall, deeply-ingrained culture of corruption and arrogant entitlement of the Liberal Party and considering the fact that both Chretien and Martin were in a position to be able to have known of the wrongdoing, we must conclude that either they knew about it or they were so astonishingly, cavalierly incompetent in the exercise of their respective responsibilities as Prime Minister and Finance Minister that they were completely clueless as to what was happening with the program they claimed was so bloody, fundamentally critical to the very unity of the nation.

We must ask: if they were either knowledgeable of wrongdoing or completely clueless as to what was going on with the oh-so-critical program, what else have they been similarly negligently incompetent with? Think about what they've done to the Canadian Armed Forces. Think about the fact that despite billions of dollars being tossed around in the name of "national security" in the post 9/11 world and with malevolent fascist dictatorships such as North Korea and Iran declaring their nuclear ambitions for the world, there is no evidence that anything much has changed since 9/11 to assure us of greater security against terrorism and nuclear missile attack.

We cannot trust the Liberals with our money. More importantly, we cannot trust them with our country.

It's time to wipe the slate clean of the filthy corruption and begin anew with a completely new government for a far, far better Canada. We owe it to ourselves. It's as easy as marking an "X" on a small piece of paper.
