Back in the “good ole days” Vic Toews was charged with some illegal campaign expenses in a Manitoba provincial election. He appearred in front of a judge He himself had appointed to the bench when He was Manitoba’s justice minister..can you guess what the outcome of the trial was???

Do you have a ‘link’ to back up your statements, Cunctator? Who wrote your comment? If you did write it, why should I believe what you claim? “Flunkie” is not a good word unless you have proof of status – it implies that some people (like msm for example) are willing to farm out their souls and their integrity. Do you know the people working for Mr. Toews? Smear is not a nice word either.

I don’t think that this is the case of one Tory scratching the back of another. Either the cops who made the arrest screwed up badly or the prosecutor did something wrong. But, regardless, we all lost because justice was not done, nor was it seen to be done. Instead, public cynicism about the Canadian justice system was just reinforced.

Anyhow, Toews never wrote the article. He had some flunky in his constituency office write it or PMO had one of its flunkies do it — all Toews did was sign his name.

Turned on Question Period for about 5 minutes, then my stomach turned and then I turned it off. I was just dry heaving until Jack Layton stood up and commenced wailing about Afghans torturing other Afghans inside Afghan prisons and then it was a run for the bathroom. Speaking of vomit…….“As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly” You da man Jack!

If anyone believes there really is something going on here, they need only file a complaint with the Ontario Judicial Council. Of course, no one likely will because this is simply another attempt by the Liberals to create some kind of a crisis….real or imagined.

There is no political story here. If anyone is to blame, it is the prosecutor for negotiating the deal. The Liberals’ pathetic attempt to link the government with this case is just that: pathetic! Of course, the Liberals are trying everything, anything to find something to pin on the Conservatives to match the scale of Adscam.

Yawn…….. the Lefterds are really desperate !!

Well, Jack, my take-away from this:
All of this information was available before Mr. Toews felt it necessary to make a statement.
Sooner or later we are going to have to have a law concerning media malpractice with penalties for those reporters who are lazy, dishonest, just plain stupid, or all of the above.
