Here is a link to Captain's Quarters, the blog that has been publishing some of the Brault testimony at the Gomery inquiry. Canadian officials may also want to review the Universal Declaration of Human Rights specifically article 19:

Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

update

Oh yeah, article 10 is interesting too:

Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.

Holy crap. Who would have thought this would be such a big story? It's not like Liberal party corruption is a sudden revelation; Albertans had it figured out decades ago.

My site meter traffic has (comparatively speaking) gone through the frikkin roof. Anyhow, here are some more links:

The Political Staples link that I meant to have linked to on the 1st but didn't.
More from Small Dead Animals.
and this from the Cyber Menace.

I have also seen that one of the central figures involved in this scam, former public works minister (and former ambassador to Denmark) Alphonso Gagliano, has been linked to the mafia.

I guess I should also link to this post by Captain Ed.

The Winds of Change has more, and Captain Ed just keeps sailin' along.

BTW, this is by far the most hits I have received on this blog in one day... hell, today's hits have outstripped my most-viewed month. So to all my new readers, kick back, pop open a brewski, and check out my archives.

Money where your mouth is indeed. This is a big moment in Canadian history, and regardless of what happens with the ban, you'll always have the knowledge that you nobly stood up for principle when others folded sheepishly. There may be consequences for your actions, making your act of conscience a true act of bravery. But freedom's not free.

This is info on government corruption that Canadians have a right to know. The Liberals hoped that Canadians would wallow in ignorance while they prepped their spin machines, seeking to establish themselves as "victims" of some third-party fraud. Not on your watch.

As is no surprise, if freedom and sanity are to prevail in Canada, Albertans are going to bear the load. Well done.
