Je Me Souviens … du scandale des commandites!

Last election, this blog commented on the Bloc Québécois theme song, On est différent. Members of POI found that song very catchy.

Well, the Bloc has outdone itself this year with their campaign. First, their slogan this year is "Je me souvien du scandale des commandites." This slogan manages to incorporate the motto of the province of Québec while also focusing people onto the sponsorship scandal.

Second, they have a brilliant set of posters tied to this campaign to actually remind people of some of the findings in the sponsorship scandal investigations:

And finally, and most importantly, the new theme song (listen, read, watch.

This new theme song, as expected, highlights the sponsorship scandal:

Haut les mains citoyens
Martin, Chrétien, Gagliano, libéraux
Plein les poches, plein les sacoches
Ils jurent qu'ils ne sont pas croches
Facile d'avoir bonne conscience
Quand on se rappelle de rien
Facile d'oublier les gens
Quand on ne fait rien

Most amusingly, the video shows a guy who looks a little like Paul Martin seemingly giving testimony (before Gomery?) looking confused and lost, and saying continuously that he knows "rien" and that he's fogotten everything.

Once again, the Bloc makes me wish I was able to vote for them.

Sponsorship scandal? Je me souviens!
