Keepitsimple Posted November 20, 2007 Report Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) Proving once again that Liberals have been lacking in principles for some time, this story by Don Martin is sure to get your attention. A Canadian has been rotting in a Bulgarian prison since 1995 for what generously must be called a White Collar Crime......and all this time, the Liberals did nothing. And of couse now....they are preaching about how uncaring the Conservatives are. Makes you wonder though, about how much media attention the Liberal bleating gets.....where have the media been while this guy was languishing in prison? Media bias? Lazy journalism?

While the House of Commons erupts into daily howls of indignation at the plight of Taliban warriors or Ronald Smith's plea to live out his death sentence in Canada, Michael Kapoustin has been rotting away in a 100-year-old prison in Sofia, serving a 17-year sentence for defrauding his own company. It's a jaw-dropping story of a B.C. businessman who was arrested and extradited from Germany in 1996 to spend the next six years enduring torture and solitary confinement before he was convicted of stealing his own money (which was never found).

Moxie Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 That's different Keepitsimple, the liberals aren't accountable for their actions. Only the conservatives, or so it appears. Keep up the good work Keep. Quote Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy
capricorn Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 The Liberals don't seem to like rich or successful people. Especially since Chretien placed a cap on party donations from individuals. In that respect, Mr. Kapoustin was and is no use to the Liberal party so they let him rot in a Bulgarian jail. I applaud the Conservatives for helping him. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers
Topaz Posted November 21, 2007 Report Posted November 21, 2007 The following question could be asked... when and who contacted the PM? Why did the RCMP help send him to jail, what exactly did he do? Why did Germany send to out of country? Why didn't the oppositions party back then, bring this to the government in question period I don't remember hearing about this til now. Quote
