Letter to CBC.ca election site:
The federal Liberals do not deserve to continue to govern this country. Mr. Carr, the incumbent, has done nothing of note for this riding during his time in the federal Liberal party. He was at least visible and useful during his stint in the provincial government – but he was a Conservative then.
The sponsorship debacle; the gross incompetence exhibited by those responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars; the disturbing lack of ethics among Liberal politicians; twelve years of sheer arrogance from various and sundry Liberals; lies about the GST; the patronizing attitude of Liberals toward Canadian parents (beer & popcorn, anyone?); the nasty and bordering-on-racist comments from Liberal candidates against their competitors (that ugly “Switched at birth” Olivia Chow/Chow Chow dog photo and writeup on a Liberal website); the gun registry boondoggle; Paul Martin flying foreign flags on his shipping company’s ships in order to avoid Canadian taxes; the dishonesty and hypocrisy of Liberals carrying on ad nauseum about two tier health care while conveniently ignoring the fact that B.C. and Quebec already have booming private health care industries; the gutting of the Canadian armed forces; the gleeful stirring of anti-American sentiments while being weak-willed and spineless when it comes to resolving legitimate disagreements with our largest trading partner.
I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that I am of the view that it is time to oust this corrupt and ineffective government.
Good luck, Garth.

Letter to the editor of the Burlington Post:
Let me get this straight.
Liberal incumbent MP Gary Carr is a representative of, I believe, one of the most corrupt Liberal government to ever rule in Canada.
Despite his party’s well-documented history of corruption and scandal, this arrogant Liberal has the audacity to be offended that people are stealing his election lawn signs? Give me a break! I think he doth protest too much.
Mr. Carr and all other Liberals should be thankful that we live in a modern democracy. He’s lucky that people have chosen to exercise their political voice by stealing his election lawn signs and not by hanging Liberals and other horse thieves from the nearest lamp post.

Here’s a letter that has been sent to the PM, MPs, and Sheila Fraser (not by me):
The Hon. Paul Martin, Prime Minister of Canada
Office of the Prime Minister
Ottawa, ON

December 19, 2005
Dear Mr. Martin
Open Letter. Re: Gomery Report Findings into the Adscam Sponsorship Scandal
Now that we understand the first part of the Gomery Enquiry mandate has established a total figure of some $355 million, I wonder if you would list for Canada who got the $355 million?
My research on the Web, failed to reveal this information. But it did indicate that the firm Knoll Lindquist Avey of Toronto did the accounting. In trying to reach that firm I discovered that Knoll Lindquist Avery is no more. Apparently, it has been sold to Navigant Consulting, 416-777-2440, also of Toronto. Not only would a Bob Macdonald of Navigant Consulting not give me the information sought, he would not even advise as to how I could reach Justice John Gomery, who, presumably, is the very person for whom the work was done.
As you yourself called for the enquiry in the first place, with part one of a two part mandate now completed on November 1, 2005, I feel rather than spending any more of my own time, you should provide us with the information.
To keep it simple, rather than listing all the recipients of the approximate $355 million individually, why not just provide the names only of those that got $100,000 or more, and total all amounts under $100,000 in one lump figure.
Thank you for your initiative in ensuring that our federal government is determined to provide full accountability as to how our tax money was spent in this matter while you were Minister of Finance. In order to ensure absolute integrity in the Canadian federal government for the future, please provide the requested information promptly now that the accounting was completed as of November 1.
Yours truly,
