Testify

The wrecking ball rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner

The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door
Now testify

Now testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Yes testify

It's right outside your door

His "Latest Musings" weblog gained a wide following. But in 2004 his presence on the internet became an uneasy one when he launched an unprecedented legal assault on free speech in the Canadian blogosphere. Warren, a practising lawyer, sent libel notices to four bloggers whose posts he construed as defamatory. This threat to free speech was successfully defeated by the concerted effort of Canadian bloggers co-operating across party lines, and is considered a pivotal moment in the Canadian blogosphere's coming of age.

Nice!~~~~~~~~~~And just to add to this dogpile..

Norman Spector, the *real* darth vader of Canadian Politics:

ACOA a popular source of funds

Dingwall wasn't the only Atlantic Liberal who tried to channel ACOA money into Liberal ridings during his presidency, Spector writes.

"I was having difficulty stopping the agency's embarrassing proclivity to lend cash to companies that didn't need it, deserve it, or have the ability to use it profitably ... One MP summoned me to her office and explained that she, not I, should decide who received government money because she had to get re-elected every four years."

Pressure to fund certain projects for political reasons also came from staffers in the office of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, Spector said – including Chrétien assistant Dominic LeBlanc, now the MP for the New Brunswick riding of Beauséjour.

LeBlanc, the son of former governor general Roméo Leblanc, didn't respond to a request for an interview.

David Dingwall's former assistant, Warren Kinsella, says it's the job of all MPs to work on behalf of their ridings.

That includes the minister responsible for ACOA, Kinsella says, and Spector should have known that.

"He's an incredibly bright person and a person of great integrity, but if he thought it was so bad, and it was so odious and terrible, why did he stay on the job so long?"

Fair Question. Asked and..

Spector writes that he did eventually leave the civil service because of political interference.

I smoke on the mic like smokin Joe Frazier
The hell raiser, raisin' hell with the flavor
Terrorize the jam like troops in Pakistan
Swingin through your town like your neighborhood Spiderman
So uhh, tic toc and keep tickin
While I get ya flippin off the **** I'm kickin
The Lone Ranger, code red, danger!
Deep in the dark with the art to rip charts apart
The vandal, too hot to handle
Ya battle, you're sayin Goodbye like Tevin Campbell
Roughneck, Inspector Deck's on the set
The rebel, I make more noise than heavy metal
