 Canada's Watergate (only better .. with Liberals in the cross-hairs!) -- When Justice John Gomery lifted his own publication ban Thursday on jaw-dropping testimony by Groupaction president Jean Brault, a nightmare of allegations against the federal Liberal party gushed forth into the public domain in a firestorm of ferocity.

UPDATE: Liberal Meltdown in Canada (absolutley devastating information)  
http://noncogent.blogspot.com/2005/04/gomery-considering-charging-bloggers.html

 Gomery Considering Charging Bloggers It has been suggested to me by what is admittedly second-hand information, that Justice John Gomery will consider charging any Canadian blogger who not only provides a link to a site containing banned material, but any Canadian blogger who “names the site containing the banned material.”

 Website owner could be charged with contempt of court. [ 1, 2 ]

 I dont think Canadians will accept this.
This is absolutley devastating information.

 Gomerygate [ 1, 2 ]

 

Blogosphere 1, Liberals 0 -- It is the borderlessness of the Internet that has made possible the release of the truth about the Liberals to the Canadian public. Yet we are still in a phase of change where the Liberals are able to harass and intimidate some Canadian blogs, such as NealeNews, into silence. At this point, it was the Americans who came to Canadians’ aid, by posting the information denied to Canadians on a number of American websites.

 Brault may have fingered Alfonso Gagliano’s links to mob

 

 

Beat to Quarters (FR mentioned)

-- Captain's Quarters has really stirred up the Canadian blogosphere by carrying details of court testimony on a governmental scandal that is banned from publication in the Great White North. The scandal is about the use of Canadian government money, laundered through a private ad agency, to hire Liberal Party hacks, and is so serious it may catapault the Canadian conservatives into power. This incident marks one more step by the blogosphere into the realm of news generation as opposed to mere commentary.

Winds of Change has a great post on the scandal. Be sure to read it. Don't forget Small Dead Animals, which has a lot of background on Adscam.

• Who Dunnit: The Ban, The Blogs & The Politics
• The Dividing Line: Why Martin Investigated His Own Party
• Dance on a Volcano: The Liberals' High-Stakes Options
• • As Captain's Quarters notes, see the blog Small Dead Animals: The Roadkill Diaries for some excellent background on the case.
  • Wikipedia's entry is also quite good.
  • SDA:TRD also has a roundup of reactions from the Canadian blogosphere.
  • Though I have to say, the ultimate link roundup has to be the one at Bound by Gravity.

The mother of all scandals straight ahead?

-- It won't explode here. It's too complicated for Canadians and the low-rate journalists that we've got in this country to explain it. There are too many chained links, the org-chart is too large, it's too convoluted. The Gomery Inquiry for example really started to take off when people heard about the envelope with $5,000 in cash in the restaurant. It has to be a scenario where people can picture what happened. Otherwise foghettaboutit. Unfortunately,....but for those in the know, this is big, very big. ..

Money trail snares Quebec Liberals (Canada's Liberals' 'Adscam' corruption)

-- I was looking at the Globe and Mail on line for the past few days. I won't pay for their full editorial content, but the letters to the editor all seem to point to Harper wasting the government's time and taxpayer money on trying to have an unnecessary election. If this is truly representative of how Canadians feel, then Canada can be written off as a democracy. Everything was mean spirited Harper, plotting conservatives, conservatives wasting more money than the Liberlas in Adscam did by calling an election, 'scortched earth' politics on the part of conservatives, etc.

 State in control (Canada's Liberals' matriarchal socialism = US 'Rats goal!)

 

 It's down to playing the cancer card (Canada's Liberals' moral bankruptcy knows no bounds!) -- If anyone still hasn't read this article and viewed its linked video, they should and then rightly circulate it to every Canadian they know!
Martin is exposed as an outright sociopath!

Yes it is unbelievable that Canada's government would find it appropriate to crack down on anyone for reporting the truth.

Let the liberals like Dean get in control here and we will have the same problem.

Ernest, corruption is like vote fraud or euthanasia-- everyone, regardless of political orientation, should be deeply and keenly interested in keeping it in check.

Once you let it get a foothold, where do you say "enough is enough" and bring it to a halt?

The information I've collected here, and the ramifications of these:

-ADSCAM -- Canada's Corruption Scandal Breaks Wide Open--

-MP George Galloway- voice cries "peace," hand in Saddam's till...--

-"No Blood for Oil"- bribery & corruption worldwide--

...are mere tips of a great iceberg. Stay tuned...

 UNFIT TO GOVERN -- After spending just a short while listening to callers this morning on stations across the country I am fear for my country. If Canadians allow Martin to call the terms. We might as well roll up the rug of democracy and and read up on dictatorships.

The new Nazis. And I'm NOT kidding.

I'm inclined to agree- thanks for looking. Let's hope our Canadian friends do the right thing and demand the current band of thieves step aside.

[Bullish]

....Let's hope our Canadian friends do the right thing and demand the current band of thieves step aside....

Good conservative Canadians have been calling for this for a long time. Sadly, their calls have fallen on deaf ears.

The entitlement mentality of the no-nothing Canadians have allowed the leftist pols to take advantage of their greed and bamboozle their way into power.

I'm afraid Canada has to hit rock bottom before real change can begin.

 Good idea to shut down Commons -- get rid of the Liberals, whose biggest legacies are Adscam and pilfering the public purse. Oh wait, there's the gun registry, the human resources scandal, the lies about getting rid of the GST and tearing up NAFTA (both of which, by the way, work quite well) and -- well, hell, that should be enough.
