The Gomery Circus

Watching PM Paul Martin testify this morning as I made the beds sort of enraged me. The CBC commentator was talking about how good Chrétien's performance was. I saw the same comments coming from a few people. Very reminiscent of Fox News' 'talking points'. The fact is that someone in the Liberal Party is responsible for stealing 100 million dollars from the citizens of Canada, and it isn't a game or some kind of entertainment. I don't want to see a 'performance' from the former PM, I want to see some kind of acknowledgment that stealing 100 million dollars is a very bad thing. That tax money was taken from the citizens of this country with the expectation that it would be used for our common good. I've kind of gotten used to the idea that it's spent in ways that I disagree with, but at the very least I believed that the people using it actually thought they were doing good. In this case it is outright corruption. I want to see the persons responsible at the very least taken out of a position where they can do it again. At this point I don't see it happening.
