	The tainted Star-Kist tuna scandal - Scandals, Boondoggles and White Elephants - CBC Archives
		The company eventually pulled out of Canada and the 400 employees at the St. Andrew's, N.B., plant lost their jobs.
		Mulroney was also accused by the Opposition of not telling the whole truth when he told the New York Times he had fired Fraser as soon as he had heard of the affair.
		Airport security found 35 grams of marijuana in his luggage while he was travelling with the Queen during her 1984 visit to Canada.

		From TunaGate to Pelosi One, Nancy struts her stuff
		This is no surprise to any of us from California; Nancy Pelosi's egotism has never known any bounds, and her willingness to abandon her publically-avowed principles for private gain is also legendary here.
		"TunaGate" was a reference to Democrats exempting American Samoa from legislation to increase the minimum wage.

		The real story -- as opposed to the RNC press release that the Washington Times rewrote and Roger saw fit to link to -- is that Pelosi wants the same thing Hastert had: a plane that doesn't have to stop to refuel between DC and her home district.
		I have no way of knowing how smart she is, although sometimes I wish she was more articulate and combative in defending herself.
		I mean, after all the "oh, the humanity" rhetoric, when it came to where her own people would have to pay up, the issue morphed to "oh, the humanity, except the Samoans".

		Searching for Charlie the Tuna to post in this thread reminded me of the 1985 Tunagate scandal, one of the reasons why I still won't eat Starkist tuna.
		It ranks as one of the top 10 Canadian political scandals on the CBC list above, but is also included on wikipedia's more complete list.
		The tunagate scandal was when i learned that there was such a job as a canned tuna fish inspector.

		For my part, I think the PCs died when that backstabbing bastard MacKay merged the PC with the Alliance and that whatever was good about the PCs was discarded.
		I don't see the two TunaGates as being linked by anything more than the natural tendency of a conservative government to want to cut corners on food safety.
		I seem to recall Angloman using that first Tunagate to take one of a series of demolition-style punches at the Mulro-errrr-Power Chin era.

		Then came the next scandal, where Communications Minister Marcel Masses from Mulroney’s Government was forced to resign after allegation of "voilations under the Canadian Elections Act".
		What came next was "Tunagate" when the Federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, John Fraser, overruled the Fisheries Inspectors verdict that some spoiled tuna as "not fit for human consumption or even fit for cat food." (See link).
		This possibly tainted tuna was allowed to be shipped to stores, however, and it was removed from store shelves only after the scandal hit the airwaves.

		Canadian politics seems to get caught up in silly scandals (tunagate went on for months).
		The current scandal is that our foreign minister, Peter Mackay (the one rumoured to have tried to turn a meeting with Condi into a date), referred to his ex-girlfriend, Belinda Stronich (whose billionaire father built Canadaville for Katrina survivors and is herself an MP) as a dog, in the House of Commons.

		And this came right on the heels of that very strange exemption that we saw coming out of her district when the minimum wage increase consideration was to exempt American Samoa because Starkist is owned by a constituent of Nancy Pelosi's.
		And the whole thing, you see that, what they call Tunagate, now you see Pelosi 1.
		The whole thing looks bad and it surprises me that the Democrats wouldn't appreciate that and try to behave with a little more dignity.

		A break-in there during the summer of 1972 eventually forced Nixon to resign.)
		Lexicographers also noticed that gate itself had become an increasingly common suffix — with terms like Irangate, Nannygate and Tunagate — and they broadened its meaning to include attempted cover-ups and other fiascoes.
		Of course these scholars were merely recording changes that were taking place, dutifully describing the language being used in newspapers, on airwaves, and elsewhere.

		Does this mean that Canadian reporters and columnists will now stop using the word "gate" every time some new example of malfeasance is uncovered?
		(Remember Tunagate, Strippergate, Shawinigate etc.?) And could the sponsorship scandal really be even "worse" than Watergate?
		It is probably inevitable that any whiff of political corruption would conjure up images of Watergate.
