Very interesting

I love politics but I think I might love psychology more and definitely sociology.

I thought it was pretty fascinating that everyone forgot that Premiere Gordon Campbell was a convicted DRUNK DRIVER and voted him in for one more term.

This taken from wikipedia "In January 2003, Campbell was arrested and pled no contest for driving under the influence of alcohol while vacationing in Hawaii. According to court records Campbell's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit. In Hawaii, drunk driving is only a misdeamour, in Canada it is a Criminal Code offence. As is customary in the United States, Campbell's mugshot was provided to the media by Hawaiian police. The image has proved to be a lasting personal embarrassment, frequently used by detractors and opponents. Campbell was fined $913 (US) and the court ordered him to take part in a substance abuse program, and to be assessed for alcoholism. A national anti-drinking and driving group, Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada called for Campbell to resign."

Now we are having another election in Canada and everyone has really forgotten about the sponsorship scandal under the Liberals. Basically, advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services. We spent a lot of money on a commission to basically ascertain that advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services. I guess to say the Liberal party is corrupt is a very controversial thing. That was then, this is now.
