This is Canada where you can commit mass murder of over 20 people and you only get convicted of killing the first one.....the rest are free.....and you'll even have a chance of getting out of prison someday. So now we're suppose to jail people who commit election fraud? Come on... we got a bunch of bleeding hearts in Ottawa who run this nation. What the hell are they gonna do? Abolish the senate or something?

I just want people to stop using "If people only knew about how bad this scandal was they would vote PC" as an excuse for not winning elections. <br /><br />Put it this way: Despite the Toronto Star's war on Ford, he is still doing OK, so there's no reason to assume that if the Star did nothing but blast the Liberals, it would result in a PC victory.

Many folk pay little attention to matters they consider of low consequence or too difficult to change. "Low Information" doesn't mean dumb, just not well equipped to cast a ballot strategically.Ken Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764243673570154905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543717098552457095.post-41189253225477838962013-08-03T18:36:56.665-07:002013-08-03T18:36:56.665-07:00As recall from being in a Catholic boarding school...As recall from being in a Catholic boarding school for one year, there are major and minor sins in that religion. I feel that the media lumps all sins together and so the electorate does too. <br /><br />How can the thousands of dollars Mike Duffy tried to fraudulently pocket (and then paid back) equal the millions of dollars of the gas plant scandal? Or Rob Ford's not excusing himself from a vote over a small amount that would not directly benefit him equal the billions wasted on green energy in Ontario?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
