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.

Canadian Liberalism: A Decade Of Scandal & Media Suppres... -- Captain's Quarters exemplifies the best of what blog reporting can be in its recent handling of the Canadian AdsScam case.

Commission insiders insist that, as lethal as the Brault testimony might be to the Liberal party, there is yet more and worse to come.

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.

- 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.

Hells Angels denounce Liberals as "criminals" [ 1, 2 ] -- I'd vote for a Hells Angel long before I'd vote for a Liberal . The Angels don't pretend , they back up what they say , they are firm believers in capitolisim , don't believe in gun control and if they skimmed 10% off the top it would cost us far less...

Inside Scoop -- Not Any Longer -- Enter Captain Ed Morrissey, from the Minnesota based bog, Captain's Quarters. To the great delight of Canadian political junkies -- 133,000 in the first few hours -- Ed published a summary of the first day of Brault's damning testimony.
