Vic Toews: Guilty of Violating the Tackling Violent Crime Act


Ever since the advent of Bill C30, the conservatives and it's brain child Vic Toews have been taking criticism, however, this week a new player appeared on the scene and vanished just as quickly. @vikileaks30 an anonymous twitter account posted details about Vic Towes' divorce. All of the posted information was part of the public record, obtained through the freedom of information act.

Some interesting tidbits include:

  • Toews had an affair with a babysitter under his employment
  • Toews changed the locks on his home effectively evicting his wife.
  • Toews did not meet his alimony obligations.


Toews had quite a bit to say on the matter:
 “It is one thing for a Member of Parliament to stand in the House and engage in an attack. We are all held accountable for what we say publicly in the House of Commons. Anonymous activity like this is the act of someone who wants to hide from debate on the real issue. Using the taxpayer-funded resources of the House of Commons to avoid accountability for actions and statements is completely unacceptable.”
The Conservatives also accused the NDP of perpetuating the nasty, anonymous and personal attacks. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party of Canada continue to be masters of making personal and dirty attacks. The difference? The ones being made by vikileaks30 are all true.

This brings up a disturbing question: Did Vic Toews break the law? According to the Canadian Department of Justice he did. Because Toews' mistress was his babysitter and a person under the age of 18, Toews is in direct violation of the Tackling Violent Crime Act by being in a sexual relationship and a person of authority, trust or dependency with another person below the age of 18. The law is so specific as to include examples: teacher, coach or babysitter

Toews will not confirm or deny the any of the leaked info including the above, likely because it is already recorded in court records. If Toews does not deny his guilt he has no business representing the Canadian people and should resign. Hopefully he will be prosecuted as well.
