This trial cost taxpayers $15 million and found nothing new, because it was based on the same evidence from the same discredited liar. The total costs of this witch hunt has not been covered by the media but since it was to uncover what was done with a small fraction of what this trial cost.

The Libs are so interested in the truth their willing to spend any amount of the peoples money, just not when they are to blame.

[DerbyX]

You are willing to move water and stone and pay any price when you think there is even a slight chance of attacking the Libs.

If you are so worried about 1 measly 15 million in tax dollars you should be talking to your buddy Harper over his 54 billion gift to his business buddies.

[ridenrain]

Where was your true red quest for truth and justice duing APEC, ADSCAM or even Wafergate?

[DerbyX]

If you recall there was a very public and thorough investigation of those and wafergate, puleeze. Some CPC party member plants a knowingly false story so they can then blame the Libs. You are right, we should investigate fully.

Where was your push for justice when Harper tried to bribe Chuck Cadman. Oh, thats right you resorted to calling his wife all sorts of nasty names and claiming she lied (except when she said she believed Harper that is) and claiming the Libs were doctoring tapes (which Harpers own expert verified weren't) and doing whatever he could to claim media bias and getting them to shut up.

I'd like to go on talking to you but with your schizophrenia, I'd have to charge you double.

[ridenrain]

Your only convincing yourself on that matter, but we'll choose to disagree politely on that one.

I said it before, but I'll say it again..... he wasn't brilliant in anything, people were just more stupid then he was to see what he was really trying to do.

I wouldn't say stupid, more like desperate. The Libs were looking for anything they could use to smear Brain, hell if a incarcerated doped up drug dealer came forward saying he had info on Mulroney they would probably have sprung him from jail too. All of this just to stick it to an ex PM who's been out of office for nearly 20 years.

Ya Brian was probably dirty, but for Christ sakes it let it be all ready. How much did it cost the Canadian tax payer to simply embarrass the guy. The sickest thing about this is that the very people who keep saying "it's important to get to the bottom of this" not only tend over look but also get extremely upset when you bring up any of the accusations against Chretien or Martin.

Chretien and Martin went through a very thorough and public investigation and every step of the way the cons most certainly didn't "let it go".

Whats good for the goose and all that don't you think?

Ya I do but we all ready went through this once with Brian. I don't see anyone suggesting we reopen Adscam, Shawinigate, the Canadian Steamship blnd trust, or any of the other multiple issues that popped up during their terms. Enough all ready, the man has been discredited, that's about the only satisfaction that you'll ever see as a result of this. We've wastd enough money just so the Libs cn chalk one up.

First, this isn't just popping up again and again. The investigation was conducted. It wasn't reopened like a cold case file or even re-tried under new evidence. The fact that it happened long ago doesn't mean it should have been ignore.

We are still hearing crap about Trudeau for crying out loud.

BTW, people like riden suggest all the time that all the above mentioned should not only be reopened (in most cases without any new evidence) but that they should be continually mentioned at the drop of a hat.

Everytime the subject turns to the Liberals and/or Iggy thats exactly what we hear.

Adscam ...... Adscam .... Adscam.

If the cons aren't prepared to face their own past then they shouldn't be doing it to others.

[ridenrain]

ADSCAM is far more recent than this Mulroney witch hunt.

[PublicAnimalNo9]

I think what it all boils down to is, whether yer Con or Lib, "QUIT FUCKING AROUND WASTING MONEY WITCH HUNTING PEOPLE FOR THE SAME SHIT YOU PULL OFF!!!!"
The Liberals and Conservatives have BOTH proven themselves time and time again that they have ZERO credibility, are crooks, thieves and liars!
And people playing bullshit partisan politics don't help the situation.

[DerbyX]

Only because it suits your purpose. The cost of that trial including Chretiens lawyers was also billed to the tax payer as order by the judge. Where was your concern for our tax dollars then?

Oh, thats right. It was being used to attack the Libs so it was OK.

It wasn't a trial, it was an inquiry. And for the 429th time, it hasn't released its report yet.

They did find something new.

After years of claiming he never received any money from anybody connected to Airbus, he all of a sudden declared income to Revenue Canada, and changed his story.

[ridenrain]

Mulroney's "crimes" were older and involved Euopean arms dealers money.

Adscam was recent and involved a huge ammount of Canadian taxpaters money.

Your party passed it off as some "rogue bureaucrats" and the lap dog media quickly went on to all the other fabricated scandals the Grit dirty tricks dept could dream up.

That's what Canadian voters are going to see.

A person using money to influence the decision of an elected official is no better or worse than an elected official using tax money to help out his friends. Both are inexcusable violations of the public trust.

I don't think Canadian voters care about Mulroney/Schreiber, or Adscam anymore. They're sick of scandals. Everyone needs to shape up and try and come up with some new solutions to present problems.
