I was sort being sardonic about it... looking for the tarnished silver lining as it were.

Believe me, I am no Liberal supporter... that said, I also remember that during the Mulroney years there was also a lot of corruption PLUS we had to deal with an ass like Mulroney. When it comes down to it, sadly, we have a choice between a corrupt Liberal government whose policies I, generally speaking, agree with OR a Conservative government whose policies I know I don't agree with (and who will very likely be just as corrupt in the long run)...

List of "scandals":

Pearson Airport - 800 million or so (technically just cleaning up PC messes)

Shawinigate - hundreds of thousands

The Mulroney Airbus thing - few hundred thousand to millions (but it would have been nice if it was true)

Employment Insurance - $40 billion in overbill never paid back (like any government would pay that back)

The cancelling of the Helicopters - $500 million

Martin's untendered shipping contracts - $161 million


There are more to be sure...
