Maybe the Liberals aren't all that serious about trying to get back in power! :lol:
Tell me which is scummy and which is a bit hot headed.
Tories choose to defend the indefensible in Cotler ruling | Full Comment | National Post
Speaker Andrew Scheer delivered his ruling Tuesday on the Conservative Party’s attempts to undermine Irwin Cotler in his riding of Mont Royal. The ruling referred to the organized telephone program conducted on behalf of the Conservatives, which left the impression Cotler might be leaving politics in the near future (opening the seat for a possible Tory win). This ruling certainly highlights the fine line between right and wrong in modern Canadian politics.
Common sense tells Canadians that what the Conservatives did was wrong. Common sense says that they had an opportunity to admit the wrong and move on, but they blew that opportunity.
No one except perhaps Tory House leader Peter Van loan believes the Conservative defensive talk point that this is about free speech.
When this story broke the Conservative’s had three options:
Admit someone did it without authorization and throw that person under the bus.
Admit someone did it and that it was wrong and a dumb thing to do.
Stand and defend the indefensible
