Actually, Chipper, it's been sort of Canada's Watergate (much worse, really) and widely reported upon in Canada (within government restrictions). The American MSM, in contrast, does seem to be actively ignoring the story. That site says $100 million but I've read it has since been estimated to be as high as $350 million of taxpayer cash funneled back through bogus contracts to support the election bids of Liberal Party pols. Still, so far, it doesn't seem to have had much blowback against the Liberals. They seem to have a very competent (albeit corrupt) political machine and have weathered the storm so far.
That said, I've haven't been paying too close attention mainly due to the Liberal government imposing a media blackout of much of the investigation.

Why would the press changes alliegance to what ever party was in power? Are you saying Canada has no press, just a Rah Rah club for the powers that be?
