Subject: BS: Canadian politicians stink, too
I have been ranting and raving about Bush while ignoring a relative calm here at home. However, when it comes to Fascists, nobody beats B.C.'s one and only Premier Campbell. He is even slimier than that new Prime Minister, Paul Martin.

They are now finding out that millions of tax dollars have gone to Liberal friends in the form of contracts. That money was supposed to go to health and education. And yes, the election system is also corrupt. The RCMP raided the provincial legislature to obtain documents tying govt. apointees to drug trafficing and phony, party memberships. Another thing that nobody wants to know about is that as a wealthy Canadian, Mr. Martin has probably never paid taxes. Most of his holdings are "off-shore".

Anyway, cheer-up! The U.S.A. is not the only place where the government is corrupt.

My hope? Vancouver has a very good school board, city council and Mayor. One day the province and maybe even the nation will catch on.
Hey - our friends across the border might even get the drift.
