The Right Hon. Paul Martin's week in review
Man oh man... the PM just can't get away from this new scandal, Options Canada. The media keeps peppering him with questions, and he hasn't been able to get out his own agenda. He REALLY needed to get on track this week if he was to have a hope of remaining the PM, but, alas/thankfully, (take your pick) he didn't.
I'll give you your "options" Canada... "corruption or Conservatives", to quote Jack... take your pick.
And this isn't going to be a one day story... January 12 is the offical release of the new book, "Les Secrets d'Option Canada", "The Secrets of Options Canada". You just know that the media will pouring over it with a fine toothed comb and will be broadcasting all the juicy bits from the rooftops. Add to that the ongoing questions regarding the links between the Liberals, BCE and the ITScam, and you just know that The Right Hon. Paul Martin isn't getting a good nights sleep right now. Look for him to be tired and haggered at the leader's debate... and for a possible gaffe as a result.
The PM is not only facing the Conservatives, the NDP, the Bloc, and the Greens this election... he's also facing the RCMP, the Chrétienites, the Press, the OSC, the SEC, and his own personal past... how do you fight a battle on that many fronts at once?
If you think about it on those terms, he's probably done the best job that anyone possibly could... under the circumstances. But, the knives are already out, and come January 24, 2006, the Liberal leadership race will be on.

Let there be no doubt, and just let me say, come hell or high water, Canadians will choose, and let me be perfectly clear about this, between Mr Martin and the five or six rocks and, fundamentally speaking, the hard place that Mr Martin has found himself caught between.Make no mistake.

Earlier this week I read that most inmates plan to vote for any party (birds of a feather flock together) other than the Conservatives. Apparently jailbirds fear the Tories want to make life in their cage harsher by taking away comforts such as televisions and stereos.
Good on them.
Perhaps it's time for the Auditor General to have a look at the value for money taxpayers receive by providing such comforts to prisoners.

I still don't understand why inmates are allowed to vote. I guess this is how the Liberals get those needed votes.

"I still don't understand why inmates are allowed to vote."
They're still Canadian citizens, and as such have the right to vote.

Seeing as I never want to see the Conservatives with any significant amount of actual power I tend to think that my only choice is to vote Liberal if I decide to vote. This is what it all comes down to for me, it's all about choosing the lesser of two evils, and financial scandals are one thing but Conservative ideology is a whole other thing that I never want to see having much influence over my society.
