Are there any tie-ins between Oil-For-Food and Adscam?

Know what? Free Dominion has had some stories
( links to which are buried among these: -"No Blood for Oil"- Kojo & Kofi: Unbelievable U.N. stories-- )
that may be related. Where there's one form of corruption, there are usually others. Soon as I get Wifey out of my hair ( dinnertime ) I'll take another look there.

Bumping for future reference.

This Desmarais/Power Corp/political elites morass goes for deeper than I had thought, no thanks to the various Canadian media's failure to report on or investigate it in any significant way. I'll be spreading the word in my own little way, since it looks like word of mouth is the only trustworthy method of spreading some stories in this country any more.

Thanks, and good luck- that's got to help.

Some of the same cast of players, but I don't see a tie.

Seems to me like Adscam is just a relatively minor symptom of a rot that goes much deeper in Canadian political culture and is only starting to be uncovered and understood.

A great deal of new, damaging information has been posted ( to archive it, in case it is "disappeared" from the original sites ) at the end of this posting:

  Gomery and Gun Registry. -- The real abomination of this, from my perspective, is this; While these bureaucratic thieves were gorging themselves on the money they stole to run this draconian regulatory stystem, they were incapable of providing basic security for citizens.
