Coup for the Libs, maybe they had something on her or Magna.

Interesting angle.
I suppose we can all try to look shocked when Magna nets itself a special exemption from Kyoto measures, of finds itself bellied up to the trough next to bombardier and the like.

We can only hope Martin is that stupid. But it is one of the things I have thought of as well. If I am the Conservatives, I am paying very close attention to Manga International.

Oh please. Somebody call Scully and Mulder.

You are right. It is right out of the realm of fantasy that one could possibly believe that the Liberal Party of "Canada" would give Canada's money to individuals and companies willing to sell their souls to the Liberal party.
It'd never happen in a million years, right? [/b][/quote]
Sure it's believable that the Liberals would give preferential treatment to their friends. They are a political party after all.
What is not believable, but was suggested more than once, is that this whole thing was just an elaborate ruse to get a sweetheart deal for Dear Old Dad's manufacturing business.
The joke about Scully and Mulder was about these conspiracy hints -- as if they planned the whole thing from the run at the CPC leadership, the skin-of-teeth election, the romance, all that stuff, and were just waiting for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to flip sides in exchange for preferential treatment for what is already a phenomenally succesful business.
They are pretty smart people. If the goal all along was to help out Magna, I think they might have come up with a more efficient (although far less creative and exciting) way of doing it.
