Patriotism is the last refuge of the scandalous
Photo right: Liberals wrap themselves in the flag, claiming only they can promote national unity and defend “Canadian values” after losing a confidence motion 171-133 in the House of Commons yesterday. Prime Minister Paul Martin this morning requested the Queen dissolve Parliament and schedule federal election for January 23.
Which is a slight variation to the good doctor’s quote that (false) patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. For Samuel Johnson was not indicting patriotism, only the false variant, the kind that manifests itself in ways all too familiar to the Liberal Party of Canada. But Liberals here even offend that rule: For them it is the first resort, the last resort, indeed the only resort, for a political party so bereft in moral compass that evidentiary testimony now links them to organized crime, thanks to the work of a Royal Commission of Inquiry.
A Royal Commission like no other
The findings of that inquiry are so shocking (basically an elaborate money laundering and kickback scheme, using government advertising contracts to enrich the Party to the tune of tens of millions at taxpayer expense, all in the name of national unity by promoting Canada in Quebec at sponsorship events), it is amazing that it took so long to bring them down in a confidence motion. Adscam essentially bankrolled the Liberals’ 1997 and 2000 election majority wins, defrauding a fair-minded people of their democracy and tarnishing our country in the process. But there they go shamelessly wrapping themselves in the flag as if they own it. There they go using the national flag to emasculate their corruption, now cornered like rats on a sinking ship, spending like drunken sailors and desperately clinging to any vestige of patriotism in order to save themselves.
Decent people everywhere, brace yourselves to your duty. This is going to be the nastiest election campaign in Canadian history. Remember, at the end of the day there is only one crucial stake in this general election. Your self-respect. That, and a country called Canada.
