Well done, Angry - I'm glad you persevered in chasing down the Abotech details. It could matter a great deal.

Angry, Please, never sell your self short. I have followed this story (and a couple others, with great interest). I am so thankful that finally there is a place ("blogging") that lets the truth come out! Keep up the great work! If we still had to listen to the media for the truth, it would be evil Harper. What can be more evil that the last 12 years of the Liberal's and buddies? Cheers! Here's to a new beginning!

"And maybe, just maybe, I helped out a little bit."

This is what I had hoped the blogosphere would embrace and you can take a lot of pride in being at the forfront of it in Canada.

What did I read a few months ago-that Canadian bloggers are pussies. Well, perhaps some others are. You should take great pride in your efforts and the results.

Thank you.

As far as I'm concerned, "helped out" doesn't even come close to describing it, Steve. :) I can't begin to thank you for your great investigative work.

I do wonder if this will get ignored / lost in the shuffle with all the election news. However, I am going to continue to work on this.

Sometimes it seems the media has its priorities, well, messed up. I sent your other thread on this to the entire CFRA news team, but one of Steve Madely's "top five" stories this morning was discussing whether or not Mike Harris (former Ontario premier) used the F-word in 1995 when he was discussing Native people in a park. This is important? It was ten years ago and he's not even an elected official anymore, as far as I know.

I think the blogosphere is especially important now. I also heard an interview with someone from the National Citizens' Coalition, I believe, who discussed the "gag" law in elections. From now on, apparently, citizens and issue groups cannot advertise, etc. On the airwaves and in print, we can only hear from the candidates themselves. I'll find a source to this law later, but it was upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada.

So much for free speech. This reminds me of the U.S. Supreme Court upholding McCain-Feingold. That was absolutely infuriating.

One other thought--I was curious why Pierre Poilievre was pushing this. He is so young--perhaps he's just idealist and very anti-corruption?

Here are some sample Questions the voter will be asking liberal candidates....

1. Do you have any GOLF COURSES, you intend to sell, using napkins as reciepts..?
2. Do you have any buddies needing loans from the taxpayer to buy or renovate any bankrupt hotels..?
3. Once posted to the Netherlands, do you intend to clean-up any money trails, with side-trips to Switzerland..?
4. Given that a Liberal bagman holds the contract,for the cafeteria at RCMP headquarters, has anyone swept said cafeteria for camera's or listening devices..?
5. Are you a socialist, Like Scott Brison, who only claims to be a liberal..?
6. Why are'nt you with the NDP..? Isn't that where your kind of policys belong..?
7. What was your cut from the still missing 40 million dollars..?
8. Where's my cut..?
9. How many more immigrants are needed to give the liberals, majority government for life..?
10. How many entitlements are you entitled to..?
There are many more similar type questions...
Hey Liberals are you starting to get the drift..?

I am not sure you helped, I believe Brazeau will be able to sue Cannon and Polievre for defamation.
