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

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. |
| 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. |
According to 'authorities' linking to the post is a crime in Canada.

Like "insider trading."
January 31, 2006 - Forgive me for being blunt, but how in the name of Christ was the official spokesman for the Gomery Commission permitted to write a book about what was going on behind the scenes at the Gomery Commission?
This is the big surprise I had been planning for you - but
La Presse beat me to it.
Here's the gist of the La Presse story, for those of you who cannot read French:
- Perrault's slender book is called ''Inside Gomery.' It's being published by Douglas and McIntyre.
- The book will be released on February 21, at a party at the National Arts Centre.
- Perrault himself admitted that the writing of such a book is analogous to "insider trading."
- Despite that, he started to write the book in October, when the first Gomery volume had yet to be released.
- Gomery knew all about it. He even wrote the preface for the book.
If you don't understand why this is an issue, you are either hopelessly partisan, or you think Gomery was right to "exonerate" Paul Martin...

Show Me The Money
The Toronto Star is suddenly sensitive to unnamed Liberal officials who think it inappropriate for a Prime Minister -designate to appear in a photo op with the RCMP Commissioner. (to clarify - they've always been sensitive to the opinions of unnamed Liberal officials.) Hiring more RCMP and strengthening border security? $9B worth of announcements, while detachments close and there are still no new officers. Comments (56) When the AG gets access to those "off-book" Federal Foundations I predict there will be hundreds of $millions missing and the trail will lead to every Liberal Law Firm, Advertisng Agency and related Bagmen & Fartcatcher Brigade out there.Many have lined there pockets during the Liberal reign of kleptocracy . . .

Oil-For-Wheat
April 2005 SDA flashback;-- Read the rest. (Another report here)
So, here is what we are asked believe - that a) it was "common knowledge among grains traders" that kickbacks to Saddam Hussein were a cost of doing business under the oil-for-food program, and b) Canadian grain traders were exempt.

The issue of David Emerson's appointment to Stephen Harper's cabinet has most conservative bloggers furious. A doughty band of brother and sister bloggers have staked out the hill opposite, and on it they've hosted the flag that reads: "Hey, this makes sense!"
A small band, to be sure, but stout of heart. And not a single one a stooge of the Conservative Party, but each of us, based on the facts of the case, convinced that this was a good move, and possibly a brilliant move.
I'll add to this list if you are a blogger who has posted a defense of Stephen Harper's cabinet decision on David Emerson.

Ontario To Begin Gun Confiscations Right Away --
The Ontario government should be told in no uncertain terms that the Law-abiding gun owners will not abide by this outright Statist Theft of private property...otherwise what is next to be stolen?
Liberating The RCMP
Canada's new government has begun scrapping their controversial gun-registration program, and the incoming minister of Public Security warns his countrymen that the total cost of the program will shock them. However, the program had hidden, non-monetary costs that may only become apparent when viewed in a wider context...When the Liberals added the registry to the federal gun control program in 1995, they said it would cost taxpayers no more than $2 million...the most recent estimates put the figure in the hundreds of millions of dollars, bringing the total cost of the gun program to more than $1-2 billion...Comments (16)

(
Alphecca has more thoughts on the general uselessness of registration programs in general, via
Instapundit.)
It's not just the waste, although that's atrocious -- nearly $2-billion for a dysfunctional pile of uselessness. And it's not just the uselessness. The registry is also one of those truisms for liberals, one of their articles of blind faith. To a liberal, universal registration of guns is something all intelligent people must support or, well, they're not intelligent. They use gun control as a litmus test for who is and isn't sophisticated and subtle of mind. So that even if you can prove the registry will have no practical effect -- it won't prevent armed robberies or murders, or keep enraged spouses from killing one another -- a liberal still has to cling to it for fear of being seen as NOKD (not our kind, dear).
GUN REGISTRATION: Such a bad idea that even the Canadians are
scrapping it. "One former Mountie called the registry
'totally useless' because criminals don't register their guns." Too bad they didn't figure that out a few billion dollars ago, but at least it's an object lesson for the United States.

Note- originally foisted off to the Canadian taxpayer as costing 180 million dollars, the Registry keeps breaking new ceilings of cost- 1 billion, 2 billion, 3 billion-- who knows what it really is costing, with crooked books?
Criminals do not register their tools.
Grandma's goose gun is rarely used in holdups or drive-by shootings.
The money squandered on this sop to "we gotta do something about gun violence" could have bought MRI machines for Canada's lagging health care system... or strengthened its military. Or sealing the porous border.
Where did the billions go?

$100 for every man woman and child in Canada to register guns.
This is the equivalent of $30 billion in the United States. We rebuilt a country for that amount (Afghanistan).

Thanks for looking- if I had my way, the people promoting this mad scheme would have their heads on pikes in the town square. Kickbacks, bribes, corruption- and more crime, to boot.
It's a downright criminal misuse of the public's money.
But then, see my tagline...

Glenn Reynolds on his new book
An Army of Davids, was on Hugh Hewitt's show last night. One of the points he made, and I assume makes in this book, is that we will see a new kind of politician in the future. The Internet and the research capabilities of ordinary citizens will reduce the sleaziness and corruption of our elected officials, because they are not going to be able to get away with it as in the past.
Pajamahadeen are the Davids.
