Apr. 22 - Adscam may be the least of Paul Martin's worries. Canada Free Press has uncovered damaging information that ties Martin, Maurice Strong, Tongsun Park, Saddam Hussein, and the U.N. Oil for Food project: Hussein invested one million dollars in Paul Martin-owned Cordex.

The Canadian company that Saddam Hussein invested a million dollars in belonged to the Prime Minister of Canada, canadafreepress.com has discovered.

Cordex Petroleum Inc., launched with SaddamÂ’s million by Prime Minister Paul MartinÂ’s mentor Maurice StrongÂ’s son Fred Strong, is listed among MartinÂ’s assets to the Federal Ethics committee on November 4, 2003.

Among Martin’s Public Declaration of Declarable Assets are: "The Canada Steamship Lines Group Inc. (Montreal, Canada) 100 percent owned"; "Canada Steamship Lines Inc. (Montreal, Canada) 100 percent owned"–Cordex Petroleums Inc. (Alberta, Canada) 4.6 percent owned by the CSL Group Inc."

Yesterday, Strong admitted that Tongsun Park, the Korean man accused by U.S. federal authorities of illegally acting as an Iraqi agent, invested in Cordex, the company he owned with his son, in 1997.

In that admission, Strong describes Cordex as a Denver-based company. Cordex Petroleum Inc. is listed among MartinÂ’s assets as an Alberta-based company.Read the whole thing.

1 I see how this shows why the Chretien government was opposed to the War. Good Point.

2 Jason makes a good point. Just because Chretien has been otherwise corrupt and Martin has taken bribes from Saddam, should he be jumping to conclusions and discussing whether the Liberal Party made decisions based on bribes? Isn't this type of curiosity unCanadian? After all, should Canadians lower themselves to the point where they question the honesty and sincerity of their representatives. I think NOT.
