More on Sam Bulte and other Pernicious Politicians

Further to my last post, check out this huge steamer that Sam Bulte dropped. She's been caught lying and now she's threatening to sue Professor Michael Geist... Poor Sam.

I actually hope she does, because Geist appears to be speaking the truth, whereas Bulte is clearly a lying politician who takes money from entertainment industry as recompense for delivery of pro industry, anti user legislation. The resulting media circus would only serve to drag her through the mud and create public debate over both digital rights issues and special interest lobbying.

It's corruption like Bulte's that has brought the Liberal Party of Canada to its knees--you can't tell me that the Liberals would be in this mess without the sponsorship scandal. Frankly, it wouldn't be a bad thing for the Liberals to fall, but they're going to be replaced by the fiscally questionable, anti gay, anti abortionist, pro war, pro Bush Stephen Harper and his merry band of power hungry, right wingers. I'll say one thing: the Liberals are largely responsible for the strong Canadian economy we're currently experiencing, and I don't think that Harper and company have the experience or the wisdom to manage the economy, effectively lower taxes and increase services. Last time someone promised me this I got stuck with a drunk driver at the wheel of my province, Gordon Campbell. And yes, Campbell is responsible for a world of increased service fees, lower minimum wage (dubbed training wage), dramatically increasing the number of people living on the streets, and yes, tax cuts, but they mostly only help a the very rich and corporate interests.
