So, Guite "defrauded the federal government", as the official line reads. We might ask bigger questions, like "Was it part of a larger plan where people higher up would have been the ones to initiate it because these guys like Guite would not have had the job of holding the nation together during a refernadum on Quebec separation".
Thats a mouthfull, but it means that PM Chretian would have been the only one to ask for that kind of "sponsorship" fraud, were cash was given for loyalty and for propaganadist TV messages encouraging the NO vote to separation. No civil servant would take it upon himself to arrange to do this, there is no doubt that he would have needed higher up help and inspiration.
So, now that the courts have let us down, and after the Liberal Party failed to finger the higher ups, we can only look back and see that the VOTERS did the only thing left, the last resort for justice, and refused to vote for the liberals in the last election.
We could say "good enough" and forgive Liberals now that they have a new leadership, but its not good enough, the prime players didn't get charged.
But, the present Liberal party leadership didn't "out the worst offenders" either, and some of the new crop is the same as the old crop, so hopefully this lack of support for the Liberals continues in the Canadian public, in lock step with the Liberals failure to comunicate to us who the truly guilty are.
With the Conservatives heading for the cliff of Afghanistan, perhaps there will be TWO poitical parties in Canada without supporters.

A jury in Montreal on Tuesday found Guité guilty on all five charges he faced involving allegations that he defrauded the federal government.
The case against Guité involved five contracts he approved — two of them covering the firearms program and the remaining three involving efforts to increase the federal government's visibility after the 1995 Quebec sovereignty referendum.
