When Joe Hueglin asked
readers Monday to consider the culpability of the former finance minister for
some of Canada's economic woes, it immediately triggered some interesting responses. |

A very interesting question. |
|
|
|
With the hate displayed between Martin and Chretien, this is a
quandry question. I do believe that Chretien is arrogant enough to have over-ridden
any argument from Martin, BUT, I have a hard time believing Martin to be above such
spending. |
|
|
|
- After all, it was he who wasted so much of our tax dollars
over the past nine years.
- It is Martin who has stashed billions of dollars in 'foundations',
out of sight of the Auditor General. It was him who seized the unemployment 'excess'
- it was him who seized the civil servant's pension funds
- it was he who spent on all the 'social programmes' that ended
up not making one iota of difference
- it was him who slashed health care funding, military funding
and on and on.

|
|
NO, I cannot give him the benefit of the doubt. The pattern is
there. It was the same Enron accounting that he has shown to date. |
|
|
|
In this case--I vote for guilty until proven otherwise--cannot
say innocent. |

I guess there wasn't room enough to talk about ... |
|
- 30 billion Employment Insurance surplus stolen from workers
and shifted to general revenue;
- 100 million for 'Downsview Park' (a private cabinet decision);
- CPP stock market loss of 1.5 billion;
- more CPP billions to be invested in the stock market because
of the losses of last year!!??
- More billions stashed in 'foundations' for uncountable and
dubious projects beyond parliamentary oversight,
|
|
|
|
As ridiculously mediocre as it is, because Prime Minister Chretien
(or his successor) appoints the majority of committee members, hereafter to be known
as the PM's PP's (Pavlov Puppies) or Paul Martins' MM's (Minnie Me's) |
