Why not? Saddam Hussein is a key ally of Canada, France and Germany.

Neither Chretien nor Martin have any ideology. Sure they do. Their ideology is much like clinton's.Do whatever it takes to make me rich and powerful.

Interesting how small the PM's ownership in Cordex is, compared to the other companies -- only 4.6 percent. Did Saddam own the other 95%?!

Hopefully this story will grow some legs.

"Marbulk Shipping Inc. (Barbados) ? 100 per cent owned by Marbulk Canada Inc."

You gotta love the question mark (?) following "Barbados."

"We think Marbulk Shipping is in Barbados but we're not positive! Don't hold us to it!"

He is Canada Inc.

No. Paul Desmarais is Canada Inc.

Looney-Tunes Maurice Strong is 'small potatos' in comparison.

Cordex Petroleum Inc

Gee .. that sounds like an Oil Company name.

So, you won't believe Martin if he says it a Pet Store/Flooring business?

The old saw, "SH!T FLOWS DOWNHILL." is apt.

Permanently fix the LEFTISTS who RUN Canukia and I'm certain a LOT of the LEFTIST social engineering SH!T that gets exported to here in the U.S. from UPHILL in the North, would stop.

Wow. This will take years to come out,but we are starting to slowly find out why all these countries opposed us liberating Iraq.

Not only that, we're also finding out just how much the media has been supporting these criminals by looking the other way.

Paul Martin did not own Cordex, he owned shares in Cordex

Good catch, but if he owned enough shares, that investment could have benefitted him significantly, personally and directly.

I was thinking the same thing. And $1 million dollars is not a whole lot to invest in a company. Consider that the $1 million may be Canadian and . . .

Conservatives better get their ducks in a row over this one. It doesn't smell like scandal to me. Connecting Martin to Saddam seems a whole lot like connecting GW Bush to Andy Fastow of Enron.

......it was something about not wanting him to reform and change the UN

Yeah, that was it.....and I suppose from an anti-American,
socialist point of view, like say the American democrat, or
Canadian liberal, perspective.... the UN performs perfectly well.
