a loan
Jornalist Andrew Coyne is outraged at the depth of corruption of our Prime Minister, and

his government⁽¹⁾. We know that there are some five RCMP investigations in regard to the

questionable job grants and loans to projects in the riding of Honourable Jean Chretien.

Now we know, after so many denials and so many years, that Jean Chretien personally

lobbied the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) for giving a loan to help out

Yvon Duhaime, an acquaintance with a criminal record and a poor business past.

Grand-Mere
Inn
The money was to renovate a near-bankrupt hotel, the Grand-Mere Inn, which Duhaime

had purchased from Chrétien and his partners in 1993⁽²⁾. And we also understand now

that when François Beaudoin, president of BDC, wanted to foreclose this loan because

of missed payments, he was forced to step out of his job⁽³⁾.

Bartfay
This remind me of the no-fault insurance research in Saskatchewan, when Dr. Emma

Bartfay left her employer, the University of Saskatchewan, after she was told by her

supervisor Dr. David Cassidy to falsify her research data⁽⁴⁾.

political or business repercussions
We cannot do a good job anymore because our political and bureaucratic bosses want to

serve themselves before they can serve the public. This is what is happening in our

bureaucratic Canada, we cannot provide an integral public service anymore, we have to

serve our bosses, and the boss of our bosses! And all the bosses of our bosses, make sure

that they have no political or business repercussions when they help themselves and their

friends, they use their power to muzzle any dissident, be by firing, be by any sort of

blackmailing, be by the laying out of a maze of business contractual relationships.

lowered
ethical standards
As we lower our civic and ethical standards so we lower our democracy, and so we lower

the justice system. And as a consequence, our own lawyers become not a component of

justice, but a component to maintain the lowered ethical standards of our society. Let us

hope that our judges have the freedom to apply what is left of common law, but then even the

majority of our supreme court judges have been discretionally appointed by Jean Chretien⁽⁵⁾.

Chretien's ethical standards
And now I hear professor racist Tom Flanagan⁽⁶⁾ saying that the current corruption in

aboriginal self government must become a national issue⁽⁷⁾. And I say, what about the

complicity of our own governments⁽⁸⁾⁽⁹⁾ and of some of our own professional auditing

firms in allowing the perpetuation of poverty and despair in our native communities while

their leaders mismanage and misappropriate communal funds? And I wonder what kind

of standard we are going to apply for rectifying the mismanagement and misappropriation

of funds which is occurring in our Native self governmental organizations. Are we going

to apply the religious educational standards which caused the physical and sexual abuses of

thousands and thousands of native children? Or maybe, we can apply Jean Chretien's ethical

standards?

difficult
times
These are difficult times for all of us, be native or not native, but the most important problem

is the lack of democracy of our leaders in power, again be native or not native.
