Welcome to Canuckistan

Did you notice that one of the "harshest" penalties handed down by Paul Martin upon the evildoers named in the Gomery report was to strip them, for all of eternity, of their membership in the Party. Oh my.

Is it just me, or is anyone else reminded of the old days in the good ol' decrepit Soviet Union where being stripped of your Party card was seen as the worst punishment the state could hand down - for without a Party card you were a leper - cut off from the higher echelons of society, shunned, unable to tap into the riches that Party membership opened up...

Perhaps its just me being jaded, but this "punishment" by Paul Martin seems to me to smack of the same mindset - you are now banished forever from the NGP (Natural Governing Party)!

Welcome to Canuckistan! One-party state in the making...
