scandal, canadian-style

I must admit, almost everything about the Sponsorship Scandal has bored me to tears since it first broke, approximately seventy-three years ago. No matter how much I heard about it, it still seemed almost totally irrelevant to my everyday life.

But a few days ago (give me a break, it's exam time), Justice Gomery lifted a media blackout on testimony given at the hearings, and the most explosive stuff has come to light. Specifically, Montreal ad executive Jean Brault testified at length (and I mean length) about how corrupt every single person in the Liberal party is.

I confess that due to the magnitude of my recent workload I have not had time to read all of the four page Globe and Mail article on the subject, but suffice it to say that the shit has hit the fan.
