So another slimy author miracuosly has his book leaked online, oh and it just happens to possibly have damaging baddies about PMSH, oh how else would one expect the public to buy a book about a one trick pony Cadman. Yes create a scandal around a boring book and, you guessed it, morons will buy the book, what an old trick. Cadman went into politics for all the right reasons, sadly he didn't finish that way and it is becoming evident his family has absolulty no integrity.

Thank you, TG.

RE: As the Liberal war machine polishes its weapons...

Amy Smith mentions Scott Brison a few times . . .

Surfing channels, on CPAC I thought Brison was tied to a government offices buildings lease scandal.

Lawyer asks what Brison means by saying he hopes to do more future business to ** our mutual benefit**?

Curious because the letter is to the government leased property owner / landlord who has a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the government.

How does Brison benefit? Which side is Brison on?

Any explanation from Amy Smith would be highly suspect. = TG

Anyone have a link to the leaked manuscript?

Jim,

PDF . pages 1 to 297

Don*t know the good parts yet. = TG

The whole book was on NNW earlier this evening. I scanned the Introduction and chapter but had to head out and thought that I'd download it later. Zot, it's gone now.

Pat

Yup, truly a spectacular coincidence. An attack book against the Conservatives, introduction by the Prime Minister Dithers that was defeated by the target of this book, PM Stephen Harper, one that has no evidence from the people involved, that has a witness that has been a Conservative for two years and maintains that she has a good relationship with PMSH and he with her and on top of it all, the book is leaked to the Internet.

My goodness, it's so coincidental that I think I'll go and lie down.

TG: Thanks!

Pat: Check the link from TG - it's all there.

Adobe PDF says it is 297 pages, but all 301 pages of the manuscript are there - must be funny pagination by Adobe.

H@ll, if Paul Martin gets an advanced copy, why can't the rest of us get one?

And, just for the record, I wouldn't pay money for this piece of tabloid trash.

Pages 273-275 are key. Weird that Cadman's aid didn't notice Cadman getting angry and throwing two senior Tories out of his office. Seems like something you'd notice. How many people did Cadman throw out of his office in a given week?

One funny thing about the scanned copy of the book is its condition. Every page perfectly centred with identical margins - as if done by a machine.

No dog-eared corners of the book, hell, no edges. It doesn't look like it's been read at all. The only way that would make sense would be if you had more than one copy. Who would have more than one copy? Weird.

RoberJaqo: Not that strange that the pdf looks the way it does.

It was probably a galley print that is handed out for reviews and such. I've purchased books in this format as collectors items in the past. The formatting is a bit stange in pdf, so I think it was scanned in a desktop printer/scanner where you can load 50 or a 100 pages at a time and it justs runs through them like a high end photocopier. It was not a pdf created from the original computer file - the text is not clear enough for that.

Adler's point (4) Why would a man tell one story on the public and private record to a journalist and another to his wife and daughter?

assumes he did say to his familly what they claim. It is only hearsay.

My questionis:

Why did the familly wait until now?

If PM Martin got an advanced copy to which he wrote the forward, I think he would have read it. If so, as a member of parliment isn't he obligated to report an account of bribery?

Cadmans, the living duo and the book author, what's up with these people? What are their motives?
Why would the Widow Cadman want to cause damage for the Conservative Party and Harper when she's a candidate for them herself?
Not one bit of this saga adds up aside from an amateur collaboration.

Speaking of cads, it's enough to tweak the interest of the MSM for their Liberals which adds to the suspicion.

The Liberals are being tricked into pulling the plug for an election...It did not work with the crime bill, Afghanistan and the budget...For me, everything is too weird and coincidal re: The cadman affair...If the Liberals take the bait, I say the explanations are already polished and Cadman's wife and daughter and/or some yet unknowned correction/fact will surface right after the election is triggered...One can only hope.

ELECTION NOW!...Go Stephen GO!!!

"Nova Scotia Liberal MPs compared Stephen Harper to Homer Simpson, showed pictures of him in an ill-fitting cowboy outfit, and called his government mean-spirited with a record of flip-flopping."

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
March 1, 2008
Abortion Debate Cancelled by York University Student Union

The York University Student Centre shut down an event entitled “Abortion Debate: A Woman’s Right or a Moral Wrong?” at York University only a couple of hours before it was scheduled to take place late Thursday afternoon.

Margaret Fung, President of Students for Bioethical Awareness (SBA), one of the hosting clubs, describes what happened: “I was told in a meeting by members of the York Federation of Students that debating abortion is comparable to debating whether a man should be allowed to beat his wife. They said that there is freedom of speech to a limit, and that abortion is not an issue to debate. They demanded that the event not take place and shut us down.” Present at this meeting in addition to Fung were Jeremy Salter, Executive Director of the York Federation of Students (YFS), Fuad Abdi, VP Operations of the YFS and also the Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Student Centre, and Amir Mohareb, President of the York Debating Society.

SBA, an official York University Student Club, worked with the York Debating Society to organize the debate. The debaters were Michael Payton from Freethinkers, Skeptics and Atheists at York for the pro-choice side and Jose Ruba from the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Awareness for the pro-life side. It was to be an organized debate moderated by the York Debating Society. Both sides were ready and willing to debate, but after it was demanded the event be shut down, dozens of students planning on attending the event were turned away at the door.

Commenting on her feelings about what took place, Fung continues, “The Student Centre has made sure that anyone with different views than theirs can’t express themselves, even if both points of view are represented. They don’t seem to understand that we live in a free, democratic society. A university is supposed to be a marketplace of ideas not a propaganda machine for political extremists.”

This action at York University comes in the wake of statements by the Canadian Federation of Students (of which the YFS is a part) comparing pro-life student groups to the KKK, and announcing their intention to support student unions who ban pro-life student clubs. “Salter also compared pro-lifers to the KKK,” concludes Fung, “And such comparisons are incredibly ignorant and, quite frankly, hurtful”.

Tom Zytaruk is on the John Oakley Show this morning 640AM here in ON in a few minutes.

Breaking news. Harper suing Dion, Ignatief, Goodale, and the Liberal party or Cadman affair. They were served this morning according to CTV
.

Today's NATIONAL POST Lorne Gunter's article on gun control, excellent. One line say's it all, modern liberalism is the victory of symbolism over substance.

The Cadman affair continues to look more and more like the Shreiber controversy. It will probably have the same outcome: another media circus at the ethics committee that resolves nothing except to hand out baseless smears.

So far we've got conflicting testimony from several parties, no paper trail and a book being leaked whose author's motives and journalistic integrity are highly suspicious.

The only "corroborating" evidence is a partial conversation with Stephen Harper. I say partial because it's obvious that the taping started mid-way through the conversation. Either that, or the first part of the tape is missing. That the tape was deliberately edited wouldn't surprise me either.

The author's motive is clearly to boost book sales, not get at the truth. Otherwise, why would he get the dates wrong for the meeting with Cadman, not bother to find out the identities of the two Tory representatives at the meeting, and place Cadman's assistant in the room during the meeting when he actually wasn't? He didn't investigate any of this further because he simply didn't care: the truth might have made for a very dull book and poor sales.

To top it all off, we've got a MSM in this country who's credibility, having been damaged by its ridiculous obsession with the testimony of snake-oil salesman Hans Shreiber, has now been irrevocably shattered by its new preoccupation with the half-baked rumour mill of some tabloid author wannabe.

Link to Jimbo's post re PM Harper filing a notice of libel:

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080303/harper_lawsuit_080303/20080303?hub=QPeriod

"Prime Minister Stephen Harper has filed a notice of libel against Liberal Leader Stephane Dion and other top Liberals over allegations they've made about him in the Chuck Cadman affair.

Robert Fife, CTV's Ottawa bureau chief, told Newsnet that Dion was served this morning at his Stornoway residence in Ottawa.

"The prime minister is not only suing the Liberal leader, he's suing the deputy leader, Michael Ignatieff; Ralph Goodale, who is the House leader; and the Liberal Party of Canada," he said.

"Mr. Harper's notice of libel says they've accused him of knowing about Conservative bribery in the Cadman affair," he said.

Harper said the allegations, made outside the House of Commons and on the Liberal party's website, are false and misleading. He is asking for an immediate retraction, Fife said.

The notice asks for two allegedly defamatory articles to be removed from the liberal.ca website and provides wording for an apology to be read out by Dion in the House of Commons. The notice requests the apology be given in English and French.

If the Liberals don't provide an apology, the Conservatives want the Liberals to preserve all records and e-mail traffic, Fife said....."

The Liberals are as good at manufacturing a scandal as they are in creaing one. They wear the moniker "Lieberals" rather well.

CBC.ca must have the writers in hypermode trying to figure out how they can spin PM's Breaking news Lawsuit against the Liberals, as they have not yet posted this

PMSH is sueing Stephane Dion, Ignatieff, Goodale for libel. They were served this morning. Looks like the PM is playing hardball with the scandal mongering Lieberals. Go get 'em, Steve!

Article re lawsuit now up at G&M...this otta set Ralphie into hyper-sputtering mode!

I think Diane Francis had it right when she said that the Cadman thing is going nowhere -- apart from the fact that it is all heresay with conflicting accounts that cannot be proven, I also think that the public is likely to get quickly bored with this one -- it is too much a replay of the Schrieber/Mulroney non-event. The public appetite for the titilation of a scandal with little or no evidence is not very substantial. Simply from a "news" point of view, Schriber/Mulroney had a novelty aspect, but that non-event back-to-back with unprovable speculation in the Cadman event makes me think that the Liberals are overplaying the "scandal" card. (Anyone remember that story about the girl who cried "fire"?) Harper suing is a new twist that will regenerate some interest -- in this case to Harper's advantage.

Tom Zytaruk on John Oakley today seemed to be enjoying in his own drone-like way the shitestorm his upcoming book has created. Oakley was good at pressing him on the "interview" with Harper that apparently took place in Dona Cadman's driveway as the PM was going to his car. Who knows if the PM even heard or understood the questions being tossed at him or if he knew he was being taped? You get the feeling this was just a courteous reply to Cadman's biographer as he was waiting outside the Cadman house to accost him. As Oakley concluded this was shoddy journalism with no follow-up to clarify statements or ask direct questions before publishing his book.

Zytaruk was all coy about actually implying that Harper had been talking about a bribe telling Oakley only PM Harper can answer that.
I guess he and the Liberals have their answer. heh

Check this out folks, Harper litigating against Dion and the Liberals for libel, they got so carried away they yakked it outside the HOC immunity.

The libel suit is the best response.

It shows how deeply offended Harper is. He is willing to let the courts see the evidence to clear his name. This diffuses the secrecy and accountability angle that is being alleged by the LPC/progressive media . It forces the LPC to "put up or shut up". Either provide proof or apologize. If they want to continue the scandal allegations then the legal system will force the witnesses to repeat the allegations and present evidence to the courts instead of the media. It also shuts down the media feeding frenzy because they will not want to risk a lawsuit.

It puts the focus on the instigators - the Liberals, the media and the author. Those parties will then have to decide if they have enough proof to continue to use Mr.Cadman and his family.

Excellent strategy of Harper's. It's telling the Liberals - stop your political tactics of, in the House, doing nothing other than flinging outrageous and unfounded smears at the govt - and get back to governing.

The Liberals have only two strategies in Opposition:
1) oppose everything as a matter of course, even without knowing what you are opposing. A genuine Opposition Party is supposed to critique not mechanically oppose everything. In some cases, this critique would support the govt policy, in other cases, the critique would oppose. But mechanically opposing everything - heck a machine can do that.

2)smear campaigns. Since you can say anything in the House without being held to account, this is what the Liberals do. This is reprehensible.

When in governmental power, the Liberals also have only two strategies:

1) bribe and manipulate the public. Use taxpayer money to bribe 'blocs' of identity-groups, ie, immigrant groups, gays, feminists etc for their votes. This is also mechanical; there aren't any policies, just using taxpayer money.

2) smear campaigns - 'Harper is scary'; 'guns in our cities'.

Now, the Liberals will have to provide evidence for their claims.

RE: Harper suing Dion, Ignatief, Goodale, and the Liberal party or Cadman affair. They were served this morning according to CTV
==================

An offhand remark like, ** Cadman*s loyalty should be worth a Million$**, is not at all the same as an actual bribe.

Dion*s gang has been prodding the bear for some time. Hope the bear*s teeth don*t bloody too many *good* Liberals.

On the other hand, there will be some satisfaction when Liberals are made to pay for using our house and our money for trying to smear today*s conservatives with a 15 year old lobbying fee in German funds from a proven liar named Karl Schreiber.= TG

"The Pious Fraud
Tariq Ramadan, Islamist and equivocator
By Ibn Warraq

In the 1990s, Western liberals, alarmed at the presence of Islamic fundamentalists in their midst, turned in desperation to Muslims whom they dubbed “reformers” or “modernizers.” They hoped that these figures would have a moderating influence on disaffected Muslim youths who refused to integrate into Western society. One such “reformer” is Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss-born academic. Ramadan has won the confidence of many in the West, including the British government, which asked him to serve on its task force for preventing Islamic extremism. But as Caroline Fourest shows in her superbly documented book, which first appeared in French in 2004, Ramadan is not a worthy figure.

Fourest reveals Ramadan’s art of duplicity, which encompasses an entire repertoire of rhetorical subterfuges, from doublespeak and equivocation to euphemism and lies of omission."

I still think though when all of the Hooprah of the books release & sales start to settle that we are going to see a public apology from the cadmans in the form of we may have misunderstood.

maz2 - Does that mean her husband isn't talking to her?

Friggin CBC bias!!!

Look at this biased headline at CBCNews.ca:

"Dona Cadman recalls talk with Harper about insurance policy offer"

When you see the headline, you think Harper was involved. But when you actually read the story, Dona Cadman says, "He looked me straight in the eyes and told me he had no knowledge of an insurance policy offer."

I guess it would be a stretch to ask CBC to put up a proper headline like "Dona Cadman says Harper did not offer insurance policy".

Seven year old boy in a religious family prays for $100 without results.

So he decides to write God a request letter.

The president thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.
The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 bill and sat down to write a thank-you note to God, which read:

Dear God: Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you sent it through
