Thank you to all the wonderful liberals who gave us conservatives the early Christmas gift that just keeps on giving.
Dion told Quebec newspaper Le Soleil in remarks published Wednesday that he has no objections to Marc-Yvan Cote being allowed to resume his Liberal membership.
Cote, a former party organizer in Quebec, was one of 10 members banned for life from the party by former prime minister Paul Martin in the wake of the sponsorship scandal.
Dion added that Cote's punishment was "exaggerated", and that he'd recognized his error and shouldn't be penalized for life.
Looks like Dion is a proud supporter of the "faint hope clause" as well with this comment. Lets look at this a little deeper shall we. "Life" in Canada is a mere 25 years according to our so-called justice system. If you are a good boy or girl, Santa will let you out on parole after serving 15 years of your so-called "Life" sentence. As everyone knows, liberals age twice as fast as dogs so on that basis, Cote has done his 15 years and the 12 liberal jurors will surely grant him parole.

As if on cue, as I have recently asked on this blog and others in comments, where oh where did the money go?
Adscam is back on the radar, at least over at the Ottawa sun it is. So far...
Seems the RCMP are making the rounds trying to gather more information on the matter.
We recently received an unusual call from a member of the RCMP commercial crime squad in Montreal, seeking our assistance in the feds' ongoing criminal investigations of the sponsorship scandal.
Justice John Gomery's inquiry into the sponsorship scandal was specifically barred from probing anything that might become the subject of a criminal investigation, a huge constraint that left a gaping hole in the Adscam saga, a trail of missing millions now being pursued by the RCMP.
We know from the Gomery inquiry that more than $1 million pilfered from the sponsorship program made its way into the coffers of the federal Liberal party.
But what of the other millions that disappeared?
I was beginning to think that this file had performed a disapearing act just like the tax payers money that was involved. I would still like to see the books showing that the money the liberals owed (so far) was in fact payed. Wonder what the more liberal leaning blogs think about this coming out again? Mr. Dion...any comments? I did not think so....
