overwhelming

overwhelming

I have tried over the last few days to piece the Adscam mess together into one easy-to-follow whole. The problem is, where to start? I have concluded that I simply cannot summarize it all in one blog post, without leaving out many of the details. What I do know is that the more I dig into this, the dirtier I feel, for having come in contact with so much oily slime.

The people who come out looking good out of the whole mess are Allan Cutler, a bureaucrat who first lifted the lid on Adscam, and Sheila Fraser, the Auditor-General of Canada.

The ones who come out covered in bovine excrement are: kingmakers Maurice Strong and Paul Desmarais; Prime Minister Paul Martin and former PM Jean Chretien; flunkies like Alphonso Gagliano, Benoit Corbeil, Jean Brault and Paul Coffin; the RCMP; bought judges; anyone involved with TotalFinaElf or Power Corporation; the entire Liberal Party. On the take, stealing from the Canadian public, criminals the lot of them (yes, even the RCMP, to the tune of two million dollars).

Ewwww. I have to stop now. Maybe some other time I will elaborate on all the above. Or maybe I will just leave it in the capable hands of Andrew Coyne and Captain Ed.
