Suche Song Papapapapa In

The hard life of Alain Dubuc

is hard to be Alain Dubuc. It is only when one is unconditionally federalist, it still has the right to shoot the target that remains in place: the symbols unique to the monarchy that still and always Canada. It makes things fun:

Dubuc today :

Lieutenant Governor of a province is useless. Its role is purely ceremonial. This is a public figure who cuts ribbons, which penalizes laws and issue decrees on behalf of old traditions, and who holds no power.

[...]

On federal grants 1.7 million in 10 years received by the former lieutenant governor, $ 700 000 does not seem to be related to its function. Not bad money . She seems to have considered the compensation which was grants for his work. She also confused, systematically, his public life and personal life. And so that taxpayers have paid for family parties, restaurants, ski vacations, fishing trips or parties golf.


Scandal!

Dubuc 2 weeks ago: How much is

a Quebecer? How much money does it take to buy his vote or to change his mind about the future of his country to the tune of advertising? Well, the retired judge Bernard Grenier, who yesterday presented its long awaited report on the illegal spending of federal forces in the referendum of 1995, gives us the answer. That's 12 pennies and a half!


J. Grenier, after careful analysis, invoice by invoice, identified costs from 11.6 million two organizations funded by Ottawa, Canadian Unity Council and its political affiliate, Option Canada. Of this total, it has not 3.5 million in illegal spending, but $ 539,460, which has not, as was the Quebec Act, was reported as expenditure of the No side.

[...]

is price to pay.

The bulk of these illegal expenditures is found in two positions: Volunteer loaned to the No side who were paid indirectly, and expenditure surveys that were not counted. The reprehensible acts have been committed by leaders of these organizations. Half a million illegal spending is too much. To condemn it. But not with half a million are stolen a referendum.


damp squib!
