MP says Guelph robocalls a mystery to Tories - Politics - CBC News
A Tory MP who serves as the prime minister's point-person on allegations of fraudulent calls to voters during the last federal election says his party doesn't know whether a former staffer who resigned last week had anything to do with the so-called "robocalls."
The Conservatives accepted the resignation of Michael Sona amid reports that Elections Canada was investigating allegations of robocalls misleading voters about polling station changes in the riding of Guelph leading up to last May's election.
We don't know what happened in Guelph. We don't have any information about what happened in Guelph. But what we can say is that the allegations that have come forward and the evidence that we've seen which is all public — we have no more information than anyone else on this — is troubling."
Del Mastro's comments about Sona contradict remarks made by a Conservative minister two days after the aide's resignation.
In an interview with CBC News last Sunday, Defence Minister Peter Mackay said: "I think they have identified the individual involved in this."
Sona, a staffer who worked in the office of Conservative MP Eve Adams until Feb. 24, also worked for Conservative candidate Marty Burke in the riding of Guelph during the last campaign.
A few days after Mackay's comments, Sona said he had quit because rumours that he was involved with the robocalls were preventing him from doing his job as a staffer, but added that he hoped the "real guilty party" would be apprehended.
To date, there has been no public evidence to show that he was involved with the robocalls.

I guess I'm "usual suspect # ?" Because I {A}think del mastro is a moron , and is doing his boss no good. {B}think the torys are guilty .People have been put in prison with as much or less circumstantial evidence.Looking at heir record,of underhanded,dishonest,slimy if not illeagle actions is good enough for me.The way they've handled their "defense"doesn't help their cause.
Call me what you like,you'll find this mess will turn out torys guilty,I'll also be surprised if any action is taken,more than some lacky going down for the party.

Between the RCMP who brought down a Liberal govt - To Elections Canada that is not a Conservative fan group after their In - Out BS - The facts will come out. The pressure is on.
Somebody should poll the 31,000 (or actual number that didn't vote) and see if that would have changed anything. Seems like too high a number to be a mistake.

Do you mean that 'they' mess up on the simplest deceptions going? Why it's almost like Harper wanted to be caught, ..... A politician caught doing 'tricks' is like a pregnant prostitute, neither one is very good at their job.
AD or DC?
Does a computer generated voice get a copy-write? or is that tied up to no instrument can copy-write any musical note as the note was always there, the instrument merely discovered it.
So if you disguise your normal voice in the commission of a crime does that can that be used as an additional charge? If you refuse to copy-write you voice can it be used against you in a court of law? Inquiring minds want to know.
I didn't lose sight of who I was posting to so that angle was already covered, thanx for caring though. lol
I don't give a sh*t what Harper's involvement is in this, he's guilty of something. 31,000 calls don't happen without the head honcho of the country not hearing something about it. He' s either guilty or as stupid as a fence post and will be a laughing stalk around the world. Time to deep six him and call for a leadership convention.
To all the Conservative hacks here that are frothing at the mouth and spewing vitriolic bile at every comment made, keep in mind that you have no more knowledge that proves they are innocent than we that despise the crooked, election-stealing bastards have evidence that they are guilty as hell, so please tone down the rhetoric...it's not as personal as you make it out to be...
We could always go back to being Sovereign Provinces and Territories, fire all 3 parties and use Revenue Canada as the voting booths for all bills that come up in Parliament, the Provincial Govt can send some back benchers there to move the papers around in the period before the first Nation vote, should the Fed be recreated of can modern technologies be used to get the information to the voters so they can make informed decisions on important national matters. The keyword being referendum.
That would have a tendency to keep Provincial GovT people honest in their elections.
It is theoretically possible that harper did not know about if if it was a rogue group in the party operating without party authorization and secretly from official party administration. Extremely doubtful of course, but reasonably possible. If that were the case there would be no way for Harper to know unless he was in on it himself.
Again, under the circumstances it's doubtful he knew nothing, but it is theoretically possible and I believe in due process and the presumption of innocence.
You are probably right in that there is insufficient proof yet to hang him for treason! :smile:
