The Robogate Saga Continues: Pierre Poutine Edition

"If the NDP actually has any information, we challenge them to give that information to the authorities. We have yet to see it and no reason to believe them," Harper said during today's question period in the House of Commons. Prime Minister Harper is standing firm denying any guilt in the ever expanding Robogate controversy.

But is the Conservative party innocent? Let's review the facts at the time this post was written, asked and answered.

Q: Who admittedly used Racknine robocalls in the 2011 federal election?

A: The Conservative Party of Canada.

Robogate by the Numbers, the Ridings, the Election Results

Updated : added 6 more ridings for B.C.

Here it is the info you have all been waiting for: A list of the 39 ridings hit with fraudulent robocalls, how many votes were cast per party both in raw numbers and percentage for both the 2011 and 2008 elections.

Some results are so close that these robocalls could very well have tipped the balance in favor of the conservatives granting them majority status. This election was stolen by the liars, cheaters and thieves that make up the Conservative Party of Canada.

1. Sydney-Victoria (NS)

• 2011

• 2008

• LIB  8,563 - 24.63%
• NDP  7,224 - 20.59%

Robogate: How to Violate the Principals of Democracy

Boy, Harper and team just can't catch a break, from the OAS scandal / backlash to every time Vic Toews opens his mouth and past election scandals that will certainly come back to the forefront due to Robogate, the new scandal that everyone will soon forget about, allowing Stephen Harper to win his second majority in 2015. During the May 2011 election, the Conservative Party of Canada hired a company guilty of fraud, Racknine/2call.ca, to robocall liberal Canadians in battleground ridings on "behalf" of Elections Canada to purposely misdirect voters to incorrect voting stations so that they may be frustrated into not casting a vote.


Voters in Guelph, Ontario, Winnipeg South Center and 16 other ridings were victim to misleading and fraudulent calls with the purpose "to undermine a person’s right to vote," said NDP Pat Martin. Martin also asked and answered, "How is this different from a bunch of goons with clubs blocking the door to a voter station as we’ve seen in Third World countries or the deep south of the United States? Because the net effect is the same."

The Arctic is the Great Game of the 21st Century

"This isn't the 15th Century," Then Foreign Minister Peter MacKay stated, "You can't go around the world and just plant flags and say 'We're claiming this territory'," he said, however, in August 2007 that's exactly what happened when Russian explores planted their country's flag 4200 meters below the north pole on the arctic seabed. In my opinion this marked the beginning of new chapter in history; 'The Great Game in the Arctic' a race to stake a claim to a vast wideness and riches of the north.

The players involved are diverse and include, Canada, The United States of America, The Russian Federation, The People's Republic of China, Denmark and Norway. Traditional alliances are thrown by the wayside (NATO) and old rivalries have been rekindled. Any pretense of following international law was dropped when the Russian flag was planted and the scramble is on.

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.

Vic Toews is Just Plain Awful

"He can either stand with us or with the child pornographers," Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews said regarding opposition to his 'lawful access bill' which will soon be reviewed in parliament. The bill includes provisions requiring ISPs to

• Provide personal information to police and other agencies with no warrant
• Provide makers of technology to provide a "back door" to make communications accessible to police.
• Allow police to get warrants to obtain information transmitted over the internet and data related to its transmission, including the locations of individuals and data transmitted
• Allow courts to compel other parties to preserve electronic evidence, such as the gun registry database that conservative wants to un-preserve

Not to be confused with bill C11, The Copyright Modernization Act, Toews is willing to sink to the lowest of the low by comparing being against the above bullet points with child pornography, in order to pass his bill. This is ignorant at best and virulently vicious at worst.

Christy Clark's Big BC Gamble

The BC Liberals are in trouble and Christie Clark an unelected former AM talk radio host and Premiere of BC aims to change her party's fortunes ahead of the next provincial election. Drawing on her strengths, Clark is going back to her roots, the demagoguery and browbeat of AM conservative talk radio to bring her message to the masses.
