Angry (who always seems to find the best sources first, due to the awesome job he has where he gets paid to read newspapers and blogs all day long - I'm so jealous) has posted regarding a Toronto Sun article that is damaging not only to our beleaguered Liberal Party, but which also may bring the Bloc Quebecois to its knees. As a rule, I'm not partial to the Sun (in any city), as it tends to be a scandal rag, but I want to see how this one plays out, and if any more reliable sources pick it up.

A MONTREAL advertising firm that received more than $40 million in AdScam sponsorship contracts paid huge kickbacks to both the federal Liberal party and the Quebec separatists, senior executives of the company have told Sun Media. "I remember seeing the cheques," one former Groupaction executive said of payments to the federal Liberal party in Quebec.

The $250 million in sponsorships that the previous Liberal government pumped into Quebec was supposed to help fight the separatists after the near-miss referendum in 1995.

But another former Groupaction executive, Alain Renaud, said that while the firm was getting millions of dollars in federal sponsorship money, it was secretly cutting cheques to the separatist Parti Quebecois.

Renaud said that in one transaction, a total of about $90,000 was given to the PQ as part of Groupaction's getting a $4.5-million advertising contract for the Quebec liquor board, called the SAQ.

Everyone was in on it! So if the Gomery inquiry brings the Liberals and the Bloc down, who does that leave as a viable option? The NDP may take some of Quebec in the event of a snap election, since they are a socialist party, and that's the way Quebec likes their politics. But it could be an even split for all the major parties, which means no real leader for that province.

Once Ontario finally accepts the fact that not only were their precious Liberals lying and stealing, but that the Lib cohorts (Groupaction et al) were in bed with the Bloc, that might mean a more even split in Ontario as well. Throw in the prairies, and we have a Conservative victory.

Too simple? Probably, but a girl can dream, can't she?
