Paul Martin Blames Others for Government Woes

Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin today in an interview with the Globe and Mail squarely placed the blame on:

1. Bloc Québécois

2. The Conservative Party

3. Ex-sponsorship boss Chuck Guite, and ad executives Jean Brault and Paul Coffin among many

for the crisis that threatens to divide Canada and bring down the federal government.

The piece continues:

Prime Minister Paul Martin acknowledged yesterday the sponsorship scandal has boosted support for separation in Quebec, but suggested that Mr. Justice John Gomery’s report will exonerate the federalist cause.

And Mr. Martin suggested that the Conservatives will face a backlash if they help the Bloc Québécois “accomplish their agenda” by defeating his government now, before Judge Gomery can identify the guilty parties.

In an interview with The Globe and Mail, the Prime Minister said he believes testimony at the Gomery inquiry is one reason 54 per cent of Quebeckers say they support sovereignty, according to a Leger Marketing poll this week.

“I think that there is a relationship,” Mr. Martin said.

“I am very convinced that if Judge Gomery is allowed to report and basically targets those people who engaged in unacceptable activities, that Quebeckers will see very quickly that these were not federalists, these were simply people who acted for themselves.”

Mr. Martin said the Conservatives will turn federalists off if they work with the Bloc.

Mr. Prime Minister stop the lame excuses and conspiracy theories.

Resign now and call for new elections!
