Canuck E Stan Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 Welcome Back? Dion told Quebec newspaper Le Soleil in remarks published Wednesday that he has no objections to Marc-Yvan Cote being allowed to resume his Liberal membership.Cote, a former party organizer in Quebec, was one of 10 members banned for life from the party by former prime minister Paul Martin in the wake of the sponsorship scandal. Dion added that Cote's punishment was "exaggerated,'' and that he'd recognized his error and shouldn't be penalized for life. During the Gomery inquiry into the sponsorship scandal, Cote testified that he received $120,000 in $100 bills from the executive director of the party's Quebec wing. He distributed that money to 12 Liberal candidates in the 1997 federal election. Cote never revealed who he gave the money to. "A year ago, Canadians rejected Liberal corruption and Liberal scandal and Liberal waste and it's clear that Mr. Dion, and the Liberal party, just doesn't get it and didn't understand that,'' said Justice Minister Rob Nicholson. In the Liberal justice system. Once a Liberal,always a Liberal,even when you're banned for life.......which doesn't mean life. You figure it out Quote "Any man under 30 who is not a liberal has no heart, and any man over 30 who is not a conservative has no brains." — Winston Churchill

Ricki Bobbi Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 I think it is beautiful. Dion has put himself in a not over this one....

I dunno...but they ensured a fixed Liberal majority with a fragmented opposition. Quote "Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." -Alexander Hamilton
