It all begins with the "Power Corp.". This large corporation receives massive amounts of money in oil contracts through it's daughter companies. Jean Chrétien's son is married to the daughter of the former head of Power Corp. Even Chrétien's son-in-law is the director of the daughter corporation that made the oil deals with Saddam. Also, Chrétien appointed Paul Martin, who is currently Prime Minister of Canada, and is also being advised by Maurice Strong, who is a former president of Power Corp.

Now we know why the Canadian government was so spineless in the prospect of helping our North American neighbours bring down Saddam Hussein.
Spineless not to follow in a military action that violated the sovereignty of another nation, and used bogus proof and bad reasoning to justify it? Yeah, it's good that Saddam is gone but I think it was a good decision for our country to not get involved.
ReplyDeleteI can only hope Harper really stands up for Canada and doesn't sell us out to the Americans.
