Document Summary

Unit 12: corruption on the global stage objectives: So far in this course we have concentrated on corruption and scandal in the north. We have learned about the pacific scandal in canada and the. Watergate scandal in the united states, the sponsorship scandal in canada and the. We have studied the codes of conduct for. Mps, ministers and lobbyists, the access to information act, and the measures that have been enacted over the years to regulate political financing. Many of the issues we have examined resonate far beyond canada"s borders. This is particularly true of issues that involve lying in politics and the role of the press as watchdog in a democratic society. A visitor from mars who happened to log onto pols 3440 de could be excused for thinking that canada must be the most corrupt, scandal-ridden place in the world, if not the universe.
