Well you have to hand it to Mike Duffy. His trial may not be as popular as it once was, but he's still doing a number on Stephen Harper's legacy.
First he claimed Harper couldn't be trusted. Then he claimed that the powerful Con senator David Tkachuk encouraged him to claim every expense he could.
Now he's claiming that the Cons used robocalls in BC to win an election.
There are now only twenty-seven days to go before the election that will determine the fate of this country. Less than four weeks before we find out whether it will live or it will die.
But even as the decent people of Canada prepare for the battle they hope will bring down the brutish Stephen Harper and his sinister Con regime, a new danger looms.
For even as we struggle to get people to cast their ballots, you can be sure that the Cons are planning to suppress them or steal them.
He is the only one charged in the Robo Con scandal.
Michael Sona, the former Con staffer who claims he is being set-up to conceal a much larger conspiracy.
A couple of days ago we finally found out the names of six Conservative Party workers, who the PMO has brought forward to claim that Sona told them he did it.
A publication ban has been lifted on the names of six witnesses who allegedly said then Conservative Party staffer Michael Sona bragged to them about arranging a misleading robocall in Canada's 2011 federal election.
Today we found out that at the time some of those witnesses claim that Sona was bragging about his exploits, he was apparently sunning himself on a beach in the Caribbean.
If you want to understand what Stephen Harper is trying to do to Canada you can't focus on each individual atrocity he commits, no matter how painful the bite.
You have to focus on the whole ghastly web he is spinning, to understand that his main target is the TRUTH.
Take this latest report for example.
The newly released numbers from the 2011 census reveal a wide, demographic chasm between the nation’s poor — those whose annual income falls well below the $27,000 median figure for an individual— and the richest in Canada.
Not only does it show that the Canadian dream is just a myth, and that Stephen Harper is no economist.
It also turns out we can't fully trust the figures.
He must think he can get away with anything. He must think he can say anything and Canadians will believe him. One moment he's the Phantom of Parliament, the next moment he's Alice in Wonderland.
For there he was announcing that he will prorogue Parliament, again, to outline his "new priorities."
Even though most Canadians are opposed.
And EVERYBODY knows he's just doing it to avoid answering questions about the Senate scandal. Like whether he will testify in court if Mike Duffy summons him.
It's one of the worst scandals in Canadian history.
A clear and deliberate attempt to steal an election.
But if you received a call from the Con conspiracy called Pierre Poutine, don't you DARE complain.
Or the Cons will make you PAY.
Well I'm sorry to say that Stephen Harper wasn't able to make it to Question Period today.
Although I can't say I'm surprised eh?
I'm sure he knows that if Tom Mulcair gets to grill him about the Duffy Affair again, like he did last week, they'll have to wheel Great Shattered Leader out of the Commons between two large pieces of toast.
No doubt screaming: "Will somebody please get this monkey off my back......or this EGG off my face !!@#!!
If the police don't grill him first.
It was another chilling moment in a story that just keeps getting more and more disturbing.
Doug Ford, Rob's big brother, turning to the camera this afternoon to say this to the editor of the Globe and Mail:
"John Stackhouse you are a disgusting human being...if you have a family if you have kids how would you like me to do some investigative reporting on you?
After the Globe published this story.
Well, it's been a long time coming.
And I have to admit I had almost given up hope that anybody would ever be charged in connection with the RoboCon Scandal.
But finally somebody has picked up the ringing phone and answered my prayers.
After 21 months of investigation, Elections Canada has charged a former Conservative campaign staffer over misleading robocalls in Guelph, Ont. in the 2011 election.
And now I can't help but think that this is just The Beginning....of the end of Stephen Harper.
Oh goody. I see that TV stations have started running It's a Wonderful Life over and over again.
So Christmas can't be more than a month away !!!!
Although I've gotta say I really hate the Con version eh?
Where John Baird plays the senile Uncle Billy, who instead of just losing the money, loses his marbles and his dignity.
Ever since the robocall scandal began the Cons have always claimed that if there was a "problem" it was a small one.
It was limited to the Guelph area, the work of a rogue operative or operatives, and that people only complained AFTER the election was over.
Because you know the Lieberals made them do it eh?
But unfortunately for the Cons, we now know that's not true. The complaints started flooding in BEFORE the election.
Ring. Ring.
Hello.
Is this Pierre Poutine?
Why do you ask?
Remember the movie The Postman Always Rings Twice?
Yeah. Why?
Because do you hear that ringing sound? My dark cockroach. It's Elections Canada.
I hate this time of the year. When you wish summer would go on forever eh?
But you know it will soon be over.
And as David Frum tweeted recently "Few things on earth are sadder than the last week of a Canadian August."
He's still out there hiding in the shadows. His foul breath still hangs heavy in the air. But it seems the trail of the demon dialer Pierre Poutine has come to a dead end.
Elections Canada investigators tracking “Pierre Poutine” hit a dead end when the Internet address behind misleading robocalls in the last election led them to an open Wi-Fi connection in a private residence near Guelph.
So we may never know who tried to steal an election.
Uh oh. I KNEW it was a mistake to make Dean Del Mastro, the Con point man on the robocall scandal.
One moment he was leading the charge, bellowing like a bull, claiming da Liberals did it, and that the Cons didn't do dirty stuff like that.
The next moment he was under investigation.
I always wondered whether Stephen Harper would be brought down by the monsters he created.
And in that regard I must say I'm extremely encouraged.
The digital trail left by the suspect behind misleading robocalls to Guelph voters on election day 2011 has sharply narrowed, with Internet records linking the mysterious “Pierre Poutine” to an account held by a worker from the campaign of local Conservative candidate Marty Burke.
Well I suppose it had to happen eh? Sooner or later the investigation into the RoboCon scandal had to lead all the way to the Con War Room.
Elections Canada investigators on the trail of the "Pierre Poutine" suspect in the robocalls case have been asking questions about the actions of staff at Conservative party headquarters in Ottawa.
And start to look more and more like Canada's Watergate.
Nearly a year after the investigation began, the agency is trying to determine why database records provided by the party appear to be missing entries that could help identify who downloaded the phone numbers used to make fraudulent robocalls, according to a source familiar with the probe.
As you know I've had my doubts about Andrew Scheer, the Speaker of the House, ever since he ruled that Vic Toews' parliamentary privileges had been violated by Anonymous.
Boo hoo zombie.
After ruling last December that the disgusting misleading phone call campaign aimed at Irwin Cotler did not violate HIS privileges.
And this doesn't help.
Golly Sherlock. This RoboCon story just keeps getting more and more mysterious. First it was who and where is Pierre Poutine?
Then it was who gave him the password to the Con data bank, and who paid his bills?
And now it's who and where is Rick McKnight?
Oh. My. Gravy. I don't know if the Chief Electoral Officer likes poutine. But it's good to know that even if he doesn't, he's got a heap of complaints to munch on.
“Immediately following the 2011 general election, the Commissioner of Canada Elections deployed resources to investigate complaints of fraudulent or improper calls. Since then over 700 Canadians from across the country have informed us of specific circumstances where they believe similar wrongdoing took place.
And unlike the Cons he's ready to talk to a parliamentary committee.
