It's a sad day for curmudgeons for sure.

This is going to propel Trudeau, and quite possibly the NDP as well.
How? He was acquitted on all charges.

Typical story from the drive-by media. Who do we smear next?

The salt is real.

You guys dig your own grave.


I am unclear how this actually affects anything. I thought the whole idea that anything he did was actually illegal in the first place. It is unclear why the RCMP actually pressed charges. I am also unclear of any implications on Harper other than he was his appointment. I would think that his exoneration would be a boost to the Conservatives although at this point it really doesn't matter one way or the other. Election is not for another 3.5 years. Nobody will eve remember who Duffy (or Harper for that matter) is at that point.

Because the PMO under the CPC look like imbeciles.

The judge ripped into them good.

Yes we're all well aware that Conservatives are used to their own corruption.

We know where to set the limits. We don't bother with things under 100 000$. It's the 1 billion dollar ones from the Liberals we fear most :lol:

On a scale of 1 - bat**** egregious, Conservatives take the cake.

The volume and severity of their corruption outweighs both of the other parties combined and that's why they are the party in temporary holding until the Liberals take office again.

I recall several Liberal senators who had similar expense issues as Duffy. The Liberal solution seems to be to just not call them Liberals anymore.

Again, the scale and magnitude of PMO involvement did not compare to Duffy.

We should be asking ourselves if he will now lay charges and go after Wright and Harper.

Yes, 90 000$ is definitely up there with the 14 million dollar liberal sponsorship scandal :lol:

Charges for what? Who? I do not believe it was the PMO who laid the charges. Since this was a criminal case, I assume it was RCMP & DA (or whatever that office is called in Canada).

The fact that people trust Conservatives less than the others proves my point.

If Layton was still alive, my guess is he would be PM right now. :lol:

Or even worst for you. Harper would have split the left as he has done and won a minority again :lol:

Fact based upon what? Who did you survey? Opinion polls on the CBC? Your fellow toque wearers at your local Starbucks?

The election, polls, George Bush, Donald Trump, etc.

You can't deny that the right wing is generally associated with evil, lying douchebags.

Rob Ford
Tim Hudak
Harper
Mulroney

The list goes on.

People do not have the same impression of others.

You mean they don't pander to the bleeding harts ? :lol:

The ones who feel guilty about everything and nothing? Yes the conservatives are seen like stone harts by those twits your right. :lol:

As opposed to equally lying douchebags from the left:
Wynn,
Trudeau
Trudeau Sr.
Peterson

The list also goes on.

Conservatives don't have male feminist guilt syndrome. It's true :lol:

They should be shamed for feeling no guilt for things they had nothing to do with.
