noahbody Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 The Stetson-wearing Guite, who defended himself during his trial, will have served about one-sixth of his 42-month prison term when he is released in February.http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...090102/20090102 Who here wouldn't go to a Canadian prison for 7 months for $2 million? Personally, I'd like to see a national poll done on this, because I think it would be pretty much unanimous. Agree? Quote

Personally, I'd like to see a national poll done on this, because I think it would be pretty much unanimous. Agree? I agree. He should have to serve his full term, despite the fact there was no violence involved. He clearly shows no remorse and this is not the message we want to send anyone considering fraud. It is not a victimless crime. Most Liberals would agree that seven months is not enough. Quote "For all our modesty and self-deprecation, we’re a people who dream great dreams.

Mr.Canada Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Easy time for Liberal cronies who together steal hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. Always there for a friend eh?

Progressive Tory Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Easy time for Liberal cronies who together steal hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. Always there for a friend eh? This is a non-partisan issue, and I should have said that EVEN Liberals would agree. If the 65 Conservative MPs facing criminal charges in the 'In and Out' scandal, are sent to jail, should the Evangelical wing of the Party HAVE to support their actions, even if they were sinful? This was a criminal act and as such the fact that no violence was involved, does not mean there were no victims. The entire Liberal Party had to suffer for the actions of a few. Harper was quick to desert Mulroney.

I retract my statement. It is terrible that this clown is being set free so soon. It doesn't look good for the Liberals who were in charge of the chequebook though.

madmax Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 The Liberal Party was a victim? What about the taxpayers the money was stolen from? The Liberal Party was the beneficiary. The tax payers are the suckers. Don't worry, we take it from both colours equally. Quote

A good wind it'll blow you right over. LOL. The beauty is that we can debate and not take it personally, I hope. I'm not a diehard Liberal, but new to the ranks. I'm now a diehard Iggy fan though, so we can continue our fights. I wouldn't want you going soft on me or anything. In answer to everyone....it was not a victimless crime....it hurt everyone....he should rot in hell. (Gee, I just felt a little tug to the right there. Stop pushing!)

fellowtraveller Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 $2 million? Aren't there a couple of zeroes missing? Oh I get it, that was Chucks slice. Ooops, sorry, I realized that this post might violate the Official Handbook of Every Liberal Anywhere: Chuck Guite, rogue bureaucrat, one day took it upon himself to crack open the Montreal Yellow Pages and randomly distribute $200 million to ad agencies. Nobody in govt or Cabinet directed him , nobody else knew anything over several years. It was all quite magical. Quote The government should do something.
BigAl Posted January 14, 2009 Report Posted January 14, 2009 .http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/stor...090102/20090102 Who here wouldn't go to a Canadian prison for 7 months for $2 million? Personally, I'd like to see a national poll done on this, because I think it would be pretty much unanimous. Agree? This is utter bullshit. THIS is why the justice system doesn't work -- I know it's supposed to be the best we've got and everything, but I know guys who have done harder time than this for selling POT. And meanwhile this white-collar cracker gets to spend seven months essentially on vacation (come on, minimum-security Canadian prisons? Scary!) and then be back out, no harm, no foul. Fuck him and fuck the people who have allowed this travesty of justice to happen. And, as usual, the average Canadian either doesn't even know about this, or else is too apathetic to jump up and down and scream about it. This is why we take it in the ass so often in this country. People should really care more about this than they seem to. Quote
noahbody Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 I have to assume Guite is now collecting a fat pension funded by taxpayers. Is this not insane? If he was guilty of defrauding taxpayers of $1.6 million (correction to posted figure of $2 million), why the hell are we paying him? Should his pension not be clawed back for repayment? Quote
ToadBrother Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Easy time for Liberal cronies who together steal hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. Always there for a friend eh? Put the Conservatives in a majority government situation for a decade, and I guarantee you that it would be the same. Quote
Mr.Canada Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Put the Conservatives in a majority government situation for a decade, and I guarantee you that it would be the same. I doubt it. I would love to have the Reform platform fully implemented though, that would be just great. A utopia.

Smallc Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 A utopia. Or hell, depending on your viewpoint. Quote
ToadBrother Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 I doubt it. That's because your a naive cheerleader. I would love to have the Reform platform fully implemented though, that would be just great. A utopia. And wouldn't stop any government that's been in power too long from abusing their powers. It's the nature of government. Besides, Reform and its goals are dead. Harper and Mackay put that beast to death. Quote
