O look something in my new riding.


http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/04/11/etobicoke-centre-voters.html


"The way voting was managed at Polling Division 31 is described by Wrzesnewskyj's lawyers as "disturbing and haphazard." Some irregularities, they state, "were not mere slips or inconsequential oversights. Even the returning officer admitted a slip becomes something more than a slip when something happens over and over again."

Grasping at straws? I dunno, but ferrsure EC needs to train DRO's people better.
One deputy returning officer, offered as a witness by Opitz, said that voter ID by vouching wasn't covered in training. A central polling supervisor, also offered as a witness by Opitz, said he received no training related to voter ID.
Or is that just an excuse?

New article by Maher and McGregor about Elections Canada looking at CIMS and possible Conservative HQ involvement:

http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/Probe+extends+Tory+headquarters/6468552/story.html

Meanwhile Brian-Michel Larue (unfuckwithable) hasn't tweeted for a few days; I hope he's ok; maybe waiting for the Prescott thing to play out?

I love it, 2 minutes after Pat Martin's humble pie apology (which he really didn't mean we all know) the NDP invokes Watergate  :))


“After months of claiming they were cooperating with Elections Canada, Conservatives must now explain why someone in the Conservative war room apparently erased this crucial information,” the NDP said in a statement.
The Conservatives, the NDP added, now have “their Rose Mary Woods moment.”
I'm not a Crook (w/ turkey waddle jiggle)
The IDU and how right wing campaign managers are taught the tricks of the corrupt trade to win elections. Cons met just as RB was unfolding. Cons=GOP dirty tricks and stealing electors votes. O the utter horror and shame for Canada.

Delacourt says on twitter Fantino has been resigned from cabinet. Is that a polite way of saying he's fired?

Haven't seen it confirmed on the news - I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow. Peter Mackay should have been given the boot too. They're both a couple of useless bastards.
 
ETA: The entire Harper cabinet are all a bunch of useless bastards. They all should be fired, starting with Herr Harper himself.

Mansbridge on The National tonight  had a panel discussion on the effect on a government of losing a cabinet minister. Coincidence???   :confused

That's where Delacourt pulled it from, the ministerial accountability section.  Jamie Watt was saying that moving the procurement for the F35s over to another place, away from Fantino and MacKay (though he didn't name them at all), is the "2012 way" of demoting a Minister. :confused

Here's the link.

A lot of people on Fbook are totally jumping to conclusions on that one!  People are so eager to see HarperCons fall that they're willing to forego fact-finding and due process and the like.  It's like a fucking lynch mob!  And, quite frankly, it's making me nuts! :mad2

I do apologize, I am not on twitter, saw that in passing. And should not be in this thread, my fault.

I wasn't meaning to attack you, Toe.  It's the folks in the CRUSH group that are making me crazy.  I have had to unfollow a lot of posts and discussions there because, quite frankly, people are "overzealous" shall we say? :confused

Wow if Sona was talking about it openly like that, then we can be sure others were as well.
