#1 I live quite close to Canada (I'm driving up to Ottawa today to spend a couple of days skating on the Canal with the family) and you cannot believe how little Canadians are aware of this situation with the Desmarais/Chretian/Martin stuff.

The boorish ones (usually students) can go on ad nauseum about Bush/Rummy/Wolfowitz but ask them about Demarais ? *crickets chirping*

I love Canada and Canadians but sometimes it's like they're under some sort of North Korean-style news blackout.

#3 You're welcome TW.

Apologies for not doing the linking correctly (or not at all). Here's the correct one. It may require registration.

My favorite quote that I didn't include?

Jean Chrétien’s daughter is married to Paul Desmarais’s son.

RTWT. Not up to Steyn's usual humor level. I wonder why.

#5 Why, has no one (government, individual) established a cadre of operators to eliminate these scum by way of wet work?

It seems to me, and I have said this before, that it is going to take extra-judicial (read: vigilante) action to curb these a$$holes activities.

Certainly if these people started vanishing or showing up in ditches they would get the message!

Am I dreaming?
