Reality: 1

MSM: 0

They're Liberals. They just can't help themselves.

Anybody care to bet me this doesn't make it to the evening news?
Anybody think it wouldn't if it was a Conservative doing the switching?

Ah those classy liberals. Ironic really, with all those stories about vandalism in Toronto against Liberal candidates (which begs the question- not that I condone such behaviour- but if, Bob Rae some one keys your car- does that indicate love?)

And another note. Why doesn't someone in the media ask Mr. Volpe his opinion on abortion? Got to expose the religious fundamentalists you know. Well perhaps just the ones on the wrong side.

He was recycling it.

What? Is Joe having a hard time getting out the children of big pharma and dead vote?

I am shocked, shocked! Now where are my winnings?

Looks like another scoop for Sun TV... Anyone sent them an e-mail yet? Volpe can't say that it was a rogue, overly enthusiastic supporter, as they were working as a pair...

It's tough when you get old and can't get good help.

The party of theives never sleeps or stops stealing. Wow I'll bet Mendy Wezley will be telling us about this lieberal transgression any time now after a little Harper bashing...wait for it...ZZZZZZZZZZ

Dirty tactic! I wonder how widespread it is? Probably wishful thinking to assume it's an isolated event.

Next they'll be pushing bums on a bus with the offer of a cheeseburger while driving them to the polls Obamba style.

Has anyone noticed any Black Panther type Liberal commies with batons at their early polling stations yet?

I'm sure Sun TV News will report this.

I believe it is against the law to take anything from someones mailbox.

Very fitting, Green's flyer ended up in a blue Bin.

I would have thrown it in the trash..

Not to worry, Elections Canada will probably not do a thing - they appear to be an extension of he LIEberal Party of Canada. I bet Biffy will say that it was all a set up by a "look-alike" Con doing these things.

I have no respect for the Greens, like you, yet this is a very low blow for and against the LIEberal Party and the MSM - another arm of the LIEberals. I bet if you gave these pictures to a news paper, they would not get published. Good thing SUN TV is now on air - plus talk-radio.

If I were Joe Volpe, I would drop out of election before their friends at Elections Canada will be forced to do something drastic - like charging him.

Another dishonest LIEberal - and they have the nerve to complain against the Cons being untrustworthy, go figure.

What a joy it is to see the Left eating their own!

The relevant parts of the Elections Act, for your convenience.

325. (1) No person shall prevent or impair the transmission to the public of an election advertising message without the consent of a person with authority to authorize its transmission.

Offences requiring intent -- summary conviction

495.
(2) Every person is guilty of an offence who,

(b) contravenes section 325 (removal of election advertising).

Wow just wow. someone threw a flyer in the garbage. Better call in the RCMP and CSIS. Seriously though why no pic of him actually throwing the flyer in the bin? Was the flyer on the ground by chance and the guy was just being litter conscience? Did you bother going over and saying excuse me but umm why did you throw my flyer away? I have a feeling this is just pure bullshit.

And the punishment for this crime is... Volpe having to watch Layton on TV leading the opposition.

I sent this to my MP James Lunney....everybody should send it to their MP (provided they are not a Liberal). This HAS to be reported by the MSM...just what Iffy needs with one week remaining!

Volpe should be charged...it would look good on him!

I don't know if I'll be able to get photos tomorrow as it's supposed to rain here, but near my house in Etobicoke-Centre there's a strip of public land where CPC signs have been destroyed but the NDP and Green signs around them haven't been touched (i.e. it's not random vandalism). I expect to read about in the Star tomorrow.

It IS Joe Volpe *shrugging*

"He's a stupendous chap!".

I'm torn on this one, but not for the reasons you might think: over the years I have come to like Buckdog/leftdog but he is the LAST person who should be bring up political scandals!

Back on topic, I am so glad we have Sun TV because no longer will Liberal "indiscretions" be ignored by the media.

Sun TV is like CBC News for honest Canadians

Isn't that jail time?

Did they go for a $200.00 pizza after?

The link is on Facebook now. And I agree, there should be charges laid. The photos are clear enough.

D'ya hear about the Lieberal who was turned away from HELL? They said we don't want your kind here!!

Nothing in the media about Wayne Easter's rent scheme either - journalistic ethics is an oxymoron.

Meanwhile, Greasy Joe complains about "Republican-style" campaign tactics...

http://www.joevolpe.com/LatestNews.aspx?id=2267

Driving through that neighbourhood most days, I have to admit that whenever I see that red sign with "Re-Elect Joe Volpe" I can't help seeing Re-Elect the thug, Joe Volpe. (He's even got goons.)

"The thug" just keeps insinuating itself onto the campaign sign and I can't get it to go away ...

Volpe's toast already. Driving through his riding (which I do most days) is like wading through a sea of blue - Joe Oliver CPC blue signs, that is.

"Better call in the RCMP and CSIS. Seriously though why no pic of him actually throwing the flyer in the bin? Was the flyer on the ground by chance and the guy was just being litter conscience?

Well lets see:
Picture of mail box with one flyer before - clearly seen sticking out of box.
Man approaches mail box, man leaves mail box and flyer missing
Replaced flyer clearly seen in box.
The pictures are time stamped.
Location of mail-box is the same.

It would not matter who took the pictures, they are there and clearly seen,

"Seriously though why no pic of him actually throwing the flyer in the bin?"
Picture of mail box is all the proof needed.

"Was the flyer on the ground by chance and the guy was just being litter conscience?"
No, as anybody with eyes can see, it was in mailbox and not on ground. You better get eyes checked - they do not see too well. Also brain checked - it does not function in basic logic. There is no picture of person picking up flyer. Just different flyer before and after.

"Did you bother going over and saying excuse me but umm why did you throw my flyer away? "
Why, the pictures is all the proof that is neededd - perhaps he would feel threatened if he appproached this "so called LIEberal human."

I doesn't matter if this is an untrust worthy person according to you. The pictures speak for themselves. If the pictures were sent in to media with no name - would you still believe the pictures? Besides it is not Buckdog that is object of breaking the law, it is Joe Volpe's assistant - with Joe Volpe's full knowledge - whose actions are questioned. If the tables were turned and it was Buckdog, you would have a different attitude, I'm sure. Why not let pictures speak for themselves, they are real or fake - that is what Elections Canada [and RCMP] should look at.

"And the punishment for this crime is... Volpe having to watch Layton on TV leading the opposition." Posted by: max

No, better yet - having to watch over and over the vicTORY speech by Conservative leader. Plus the appropate sentance given to set the example of breaking the law for all fellow LIEberals to see - particurally Biffy. [Yet the appearance of lax treatment of LIEberals in the past for breaking election laws - they will have a lecture and nothing else.] Will not even make the news - Sad.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I just thought of this: Remeber there is a TORY in VicTORY and all the Grits have to offer can be replaced by letters "Sh"

May be some traction on this now. Charles Adler just tweeted about it. So at least someone at Sun is aware.

I wasn't there. I can't report it first hand.

"If I were Joe Volpe, I would drop out of election before their friends at Elections Canada will be forced to do something drastic - like charging him.

Or, much more likely, sending a very strongly worded letter.

Joe Volpe's mail sorting service- "we keep their lies from reaching your eyes"

These photos are were taken by an eye witness who has identified herself. And good for her!

I just called joe 'the fixer' valachi, er, volpe's campaign headquarters about this:

Joe Volpe's 2011 Re-elect
Campaign Office
2700 Dufferin Street, Unit #64
Toronto, ON M6B 4J3
Tel: (416) 781-0854
Fax: (416) 781-0291
Email: info@joevolpe.com

let's see if it blows up in his face.

remember, volpe's the one got caught taking contributions to the tune of thousands of dollars from kids of supporters etc. I think it was when he ran for leader of the party. you know the routine.

p.s. I voted in the advanced poll on friday. it wasnt the lieberal.

Lotherton Estates,in case anybody is interested is a heavily subsidised Government housing complex in northwest-central Toronto consisting of a hundred odd 2 story,low rise strip housing units and a few 30 story apartment buildings.The rents are as low as $100 dollars a month,and NOBODY was born in Canada that lives there.

Two items:

First, I apologize for referring to Mr. Volpe as "Greasy Joe" in my earlier post. I meant to write "Sloppy Joe"*. Lickmuffin regrets the error.

Second, I just want to say that those photos show one freakin' ugly housing development. I mean, those homes just look soul-crushingly oppressive.

* Now that I think about it, "Greasy Sloppy Joe" has a certain ring to it.

Hang him for his crimes!!!
liberano criminal scum!!!

I could be wrong but isn't that worth 5 years if a Conservative had done it?

"Second, I just want to say that those photos show one freakin' ugly housing development. I mean, those homes just look soul-crushingly oppressive." Lickmuffin

I kind of know what you are saying, (I do not take your statement as a put-down of families living there); yet there is a lot of differance between a house and a home.

I have seen families live in worse housing conditions, yet they are the family "model" of love and acceptance of each other and the "family" is happy as a whole. On the other hand, I have seen the most beautiful houses, and the family was in "need of help." Just like you cannot judge a book by its cover, one cannot judge a house by the appearance outside.
[Sorry, one of my pet-peves on judging by housing conditions that some have to live under.]

Score another one for Kate. NNW actually has this story. If it wasn't for Kate the MSN wouldn't have this story up on their front page. Anyone keeping score on Kate verse the MSN?
Thank you Kate for trying to keep this election coverage fair.

Joe is not stealing literature . . he's just "moving" it so he can look for all those stolen ADSCAM millions of dollars

Where else would you look for brown envelopes?

I checked the CBC's web site, and one can contact the Toronto news department directly with news tips.

The phone number is 416-205-2500. The email address is: tonews@cbc.ca

I don't know how to copy and send the pictures. Perhaps someone who does could contact the CBC with this story.

I listen to CBC’s classical music program, Tempo, and so have to endure the news once an hour. They’re going overboard on the vandalism of the property of people with Liberal signs: I agree that it’s quite disgusting. (Who’d be surprised if the vandalism were being perpetrated by Liberals? They’re just sneaky and unprincipled enough to do something like that.) I have a friend, with a Conservative sign in a heavily Liberal area, whose property was vandalized. Where’s the CBC in cases like that?

If you can prove the that flyer in question was taken from the mail box of a lesbian, then you would have a human rights case of some sort. Should net about 20K to the Lesbian and a ban from campaigning in the province for life.

Mary, what's NNW, please? (And do you mean MSM, for Mainstream Media? If not, please, what is MSN?)

I think that picture has been photo-shopped. If you notice that the handle on the garage door for #177 is on the left and the handle for #179 is in the center ... well ... there is something fishy going on ... Most ghetto apartment blocks are pretty consistent when it comes to garage door handles.

This is plot by the Green party to make the Liberals look bad ... if that is even possible.

Totally agree with you about house vs. home and living conditions not necessarily determining the nature of the individual. Just to be clear, my earlier comment was not about the people living there. I'm just commenting on the ugliness of the buildings themselves.

Getting some sunlight and trees into the view makes things look a little better. Here's the infamous 193 Lotherton Parkway at Google Street View here --

http://tinyurl.com/3wdf92x

The featureless brick walls, almost monolithic in nature, make the buildings look painfully utilitarian. This really could be a very depressing place to live.

While Mr.G posts that Lotherton Estates is (or might be) subsidized housing, there is at least one For Sale sign in Google Street view that suggests that some of the townhome units might be privately held.

I've emailed Mr Volpe to ask for comments on this story, especially after his press release criticizing "Republican-style" robocalls in the riding. Will post the response if there is one.

National News Watch, and sorry MSM. Why I am surprised that NNW carried this story, is they have been using this site to bash the PM and conservatives since the election started. (before too)

With the mug and demeanor that he has, who in their right mind would vote for a guy like Joe Volpe before doing a thorough background check on him...He should be toast by now but he`s still running. Amazing.

Update on the Kady O'Maalley page from Volpe:

Hi Kady:

I do not engage in or condone this type of campaign behavior. When this issue about the canvasser was brought to my attention by the Green Party candidate, in deference to his concern and to the hard work of my own campaign, the canvasser was released by the campaign.

Joe Volpe

Dude! You were WALKING DOOR TO DOOR WITH THE GUY! How could you not have known what he was doing?

"I listen to CBC’s classical music program, Tempo, and so have to endure the news once an hour."
lookout

96.3 is classic private

Damn you Lickmuffin! That is exactly what I was going to write......LOL

Thanks, richfisher, but where's 96.3? (And Tempo has great music and no commercials: at least some of my tax $$ are being well spent!)

Also, SDA was way ahead of me: I posted the CBC numbers after Kady's CBC blog was already up here. BRAVA, Kate!

Thanks, Mary.

Tell me it isn't so Joe.

I guess this officially ends the Green for Libs exchange that dion started.

Excuse me but why should I care what she blogs, I don't take her word as gospel on any issue. Nice of her to try and protect the liberal canadate but I expect elections Canada and the media to deal with this issue not Kady.

Sorry Kate - didn't notice your title.

I was just pondering the news that Joey gots caught red handed.

It is also sort of an election meme that the pooor liberals always get targeted by the vandals every election.

Based on the who's and where's of the 'vandal attacks' I have concluded that its likely self induced.

Which also leads to the conclusion that there is a new Mental Health issue emerging in Canada.

As I have first identified it, I get to name it.

Munchausen by Liberal syndrome, has a nice honest ring to it.

Grandmother's Corpse is watching! hehehehehehehehe

Hope they don't like what they see.

Abe Froman..if you look closer the garage doors have different patterns so they are from different manufacturers, hence the different door handle position..not photo-shopped.
Been looking on Sun News and nothing yet..why aren't they on this?

Lickmuffin at 10:47 AM, your public service is appreciated. A note on Kady O'Mally's blog doesn't reach a very wide audience. SDA's does.

Tweet from Kady'O...

"Anyone who has watched Joe Volpe chair a committee would not find the idea that he could be utterly oblivious to be implausible. #elxn41"

Dude ... I was kidding.

FYI,this flyer is not covered under the postal reglations and is not considered 'mail'. If it was delivered by a Canada Post employee it would have been. However,a case may still be made for simple theft.

Re. my http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/016657.html#c599705 post...
Darn those efficient Conservatives! I walked over there this morning but the Ted Opitz signs had already been replaced. (And, I note, none of the NDP or Green signs had been damaged. BTW, the NDP signs were generic Jack Layton signs and not candidate specific. No use putting up signs for someone next to no one in Etobicoke-Centre is going to vote for.)

Sorry lookout, I assumed you too were in the centre of the universe. My bad no dis'n intended.

For what it's worth...
http://www.classical963fm.com/

It's not stealing mail, Wally, it's destroying election advertising:

The relevant parts of the Elections Act, for your convenience.

325. (1) No person shall prevent or impair the transmission to the public of an election advertising message without the consent of a person with authority to authorize its transmission.

(b) contravenes section 325 (removal of election advertising).

Elections Canada will be all over this. I'm sure they will be fair and consistent in their ruling like they handled the repayment of Liberal leadership debts,the 'in and out' financial deals of ALL parties,and the recent Guelph voting farce.

No,I really think that this will be handled using the same criteria that they share with the CBC; Does it help or hurt the Liberal party? Does it help or hurt the Conservative party?

I love the sight of lieberal faces burning in the morning .

it smells of victory.

andycanuck; Thanks,I do understand. I posted that because others here and elsewhere were musing about this being a case of " theft of mail",which would have made it a more serious offence,and which would have engaged the postal authorities.

I'm laughing that this Green canvasser said "it was so disappointing".....ummmm this is the LPC and Joe Volpe you are talking about...this stuff is to be expected!!!! Being conservatives, we expect this crap to be done to us every day. Guess she thought the LPC was more noble in their sabotage and would leave the Greens alone? Would she have reported this had she caught pix of Volpe's bag man removing CONSERVATIVE pamphlets? I think not....

I assume that this is how Volpe has been getting re-elected for the past 25 years...
The liberals have no shame.

GPC candidate on twitter @ElectPaulBarker:

@kady JV denied it directly to me. That is the only response we've had from him. So no, we are not satisfied.

@kady We just found out from EC _where_ to lodge our complaint (!?) so no investigation as of yet.

KD Quote "So we're not satisfied"
Is that the same as "I wasn't there, I can't report first hand."
Code for "If I didn't see it, it didn't happen."
(Unless it was Harper)

I don't believe it. The Globe & Mail is actually carrying a story about it. Good on them, finally!

Story wise, CBC is still trying to bury it!

I filed a formal complaint with Elections Canada against Election's Canada for allowing the votes to stet at the illegal/unregistered voting station in Ontario and no word back not a peep.

Damn.. I used to enjoy frying up regular (you know, 20% fat) ground beef with some onions and garlic, tossing in some tomato sauce, and serving it over toasted hamburg buns. Those were my "greasy sloppy joes".

Now, thanks to you, lickmuffin, I'll never be able to enjoy them again!!

I assume that this is how Volpe has been getting re-elected for the past 25 years...

Reasonable assumption, since the tactic is part of the Liberal campaign manual. It's under the heading "Cheating is OK if it's for a Worthy Cause"

Harper really needs a majority. He has to have it, to clean out the Liberal rot that has built up over the years at the CBC, Elections Canada and the rest of the tax funded bureaucracy.

A Liberal stealing mail? In Canada, Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.

FWIW, the CBC is now linking to Kady's blog coverage on its front page.

richfisher, all is forgiven! (Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.)

I worked on the Reform Party campaign in Volpe's riding way back in 1993. Volpe is a typical dirt-bag Liberano - always has been, always will be. His stooges regularly stole our campaign signs from public and private property.

I worked on the Reform Party campaign in Volpe's riding way back in 1993. Volpe is a typical dirt-bag Liberano - always has been, always will be. His stooges regularly stole our campaign signs from public and private property.

We should hear something from Lizzie May on this tactic by Liberals. Guessing she's too busy hustling her butt attempting to win a seat for it in the HOC. God forbid, my ears a ringing at the thought, she'd be real competition for Wayne the Knob Easter.

You mean people that live in subsidized housing have garages? In Hogtown? No public transportation? In Hogtown?

A CPC candidate goes to an event where a guy who was acquitted in the Air India bombing is present and that's supposed to show that Harper is lacking in judgement.

So shouldn't this call Volpe's judgement into question as well? After all, which is more likely - that the canvasser who was walking around with him was a complete stranger or that he was well-known to him?

The Gob and Flail, even when they report the news, the editors still have to put the librano spin on it. Check out the headline over at the Gob, it's as if the righteous Volpe caught his campaign worker and sacked him on the spot!

Joe Volpe turfs campaign worker caught trashing Green pamphlets
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/joe-volpe-turfs-campaign-worker-caught-trashing-green-pamphlets/article1997614/

On the other hand, it looks like the librano editor was a bit lazy and didn't read the whole story before composing the headline:

“What I guess disappoints us is that Joe was there. … He may not have been robbing the bank, but it seems he was driving the getaway car,” he said. “In our minds, there’s no doubt that he was aware.”

Janke's AGWN is on this also. I found this in one of the comments.

http://www.youthforvolpe.blogspot.com/

Neighbors all say "there goes Joe, wearing that signature cologne "Eau de corruptchien", like he alway does. Suits him somehow"

This Globe & Mail blog post by Jill Mahoney is a joke! Joe Volpe WAS WITH the one removing the Green Party fliers.

Is the MSM stupid or are they in bed with the Lieberals?!?

The Leftard commenters on Kady O'Malley's blog are a piece of work. They immediately try to start blaming the Conservatives for this fiasco! HUH?!?

Once again I'm reminded that the benefit of being on the Left is never having to apologize for your actions, no matter how disgusting or despicable they may be. :-(

Traitors to democracy, traitors to the country.

Jail, jail, jail!

“Pot, meet kettle”: how sweet it is to see two lefty parties at each others’ throats.

And these fantasy-land, “I’m the best/No, I’m the best”, non-grown ups think they can form a coalition that will work? When pigs fly . . .

Canadians are getting wise to the immaturity and deviousness of our left-wing parties, including their camp followers, the MSM, especially the CBC, and Elections Canada. Hopefully, this latest “Punch and Judy” show will be one more nail in the left’s coffin.

Majority, here we come!

Joe Volpe WAS WITH the one removing the Green Party fliers.

Maybe they didn't recognize each other.

Joe, meet thief...
Thief, meet Joe...
Now get back to work!

Lookout, your use of the term "Non-grown ups" is most apropos and beyond brilliant!

This reminds me of a conversation I had yesterday with a longtime family friend of mine. He's not a bad fellow but has long been an idealist. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth (or at least silver plated), he has kind of drifted through life. He has 3 degrees, including an MBA but has done nothing with them. He has frequently said that he's looking for the perfect job "with no politics".

Yesterday he told me how dismayed he was that the Tories might soon be winning a majority. He said that he's going to vote Green, though admitted he has reservations about Lizzie May. He then added that "everything would change in Canada if the Youth actually voted". I didn't say it but thought, "So you're 40 years old and share the wisdom of 18 year olds who know little to nothing about the world and have never had to pay taxes?!"

Robert, I shudder to think what would happen if "the Youth actually voted"! (But my youthful, common sense kids are voting Conservative: at least they assure me they are! I believe them.)

Hopefully, when people like me are gone, "the Youth" will no longer be youthful and will have realized that the Tooth Fairy and Unicorns don't actually exist. And, if they haven't, they'll pay the very dire consequences of wishful thinking.

I guess Joe 'the made man" Volpe is due an embassidoreship in Denmark now!!!!

Posted by: GYM at April 25, 2011 2:57 PM

Who would appoint him?

Joe "death is no excuse not to vote" Volpe is just going to have to be in charge of Canada Post in the new NDP-BQ cabinet. I am looking forward to my bills going straight from the sorting plant to the recycling plant.

Obviously, the Libranos know no other way of doing things - compulsive unethical and dishonest behavior, even now that they know we are watching!!! The LPC needs to be ground into dust.

Glasnost: at 2:30
Thank you. I needed that laugh. Now I'm one the floor.

Hilarious link.

Robert W. (Vancouver) asks "Is the MSM stupid or are they in bed with the Lieberals?!?"

Both. Stupidity and the MSM go hand in hand.

Isn't this all so sweet! Love it, Liberal ethics at their best.

The next time I get unwanted election material in my mailbox, I'm calling Joe.

Where is Elizabeth May and why isn't she screaming for a Volpe resignation.

Before we all forget, keep in mind that the track record of the Canadian Conservative Party is quite left in the global perspective of what Left vs. Right actually means.

Isn't it interesting how otherwise seemingly intelligent people will tell you that Stephen Harper is evil whilst Barack Obama, who to date has been more right of centre than Harper in many ways, is the second coming of Christ?!

Marketers must love the soft minds of Leftards as they're so incredibly to sway (read "fool") with the simplest of slogans.

Obit. Read it.

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thestar/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=150472959

Check out the "Wise Guy" with Joe. Cloudy day and sunglasses. Bet if you checked his pockets you'd find a blakjack and some brass knuckles.

Remember this :Joe Volpe liberal Ethics Czar :After attempting to finance his leadership bid from the bank accounts of babes, Volpe announced that he was raising the standard of ethics in the campaign and warned the other candidates that they must meet his standards or "bow out of the race".

And this FINALLY breaks on Sun News. Maybe they were saving it to give Erikson something to run with in her two hours?

time to get some more results for CBCpravda

Just sent Mr. Volpe an email:
"It seems my mailbox contains literature from parties other than the Lieberals. Could you please send one of your thugs down to empty it out for me?
Thanks in advance, and thanks for helping to ensure the Conservatives are elected to a majority government"

I think he deserves lots of emails.

Hey, c'mon now, this is just a misunderstanding between friends.

Remember, the common enemy of the left are the Tories, so they can't get all snitty with each other over misplacing a flyer or two.

As many of us have said, if this was a Tory doing this, it would be frontpage headlines, 24/7, with talkshows and Evan Solomon, and Owliver, Giggles Taber, and the rest of the bagmen of the LPC screaming to high heaven about it.

Instead.....hmmm, driveby, nothing to see here, moving on......evil Stephen, contempt, hidden agenda, yadda yadda, stay on message for the LPC media.

is that Flavio Volpe, Joe's son?

Four words: "In an out scandal." Harper should go to jail for that one. Oh, I forgot...CONservatives only like to say the word "accountability." When it comes down to actually being accountable, they will just throw some staffer under a bus.

Lots of chatter esp @kady re: inconsistencies with required ID to vote at various polls. You reading this? I see this developing.

Sorry Kate, should have posted that to Reader Tips. Again. St00pid tabbed browsers! :-)

Riddle:
When are you not "in an inn scandal"?
Ans:
When you're "in an out scandal".

any comments from jacks new lap dog iggy yet ?

Don't disturb him. He's in his void.

Iggy says he would work with Layton. Does that mean he has coalition on his mind?

Liz J at 4:41,

No; it means he would join the union.

glasnost.

you mean join the Borg, right?

Resistance is futile, you WILL be assimilated!

Soundofmuzak - the Elections Canada form I got said I could use a library card or fishing licence for identification - but I can't use a pilot licence made to the same standards as a passport!!! Is there no end to the stupidity at Elections Canada?

Oh yes, I'm on my third Conservative lawn sign as the first two disappeared overnight. Where's EC on (and the CBC) on that? Oh yes, not Liberal... Don't expect Volpe to be pursued.

Interesting, but did he get their children to make their maximum political contribution to his campaign? Apparently he has that effect.

WTF? Volpe is still a MP?

I thought he was swimming with the fishes.

We all know that the ONLY reason this will show up on CBC or CTV is because of SunTV News (aka Fox News North).

When Joe Volpe made the big splash last week, and gained headlines by announcing that on April 15th, he sent a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada asking for a formal investigation of possible violations of the Canada Elections Act because of the use “American Republican-style campaign tactics”. He said that it was a "tactic taken straight from the Republican dirty-tricks playbook.”
I assumed he was talking about someone in the opposition, but today it is revealed that it is Joe Volpe's own re-election campaign team that is using the "dirty-tricks" in an attempt to turn Liberal party fortunes around, under his close supervision.
Wasn't Joe Volpe fined 1000 dollars by his own Liberal Party, for shenanigans, that would make the Republican dirty tricks committee proud?

Dr. Phil Iggy’s Shooting Gallery.

…-

“Iggy makes pitch, but who was watching?”

Who does Michael Ignatieff think he is? Dr. Phil?

The Liberal Party of Canada says its leader’s half-hour infomercial that ran twice on Easter Sunday drew an estimated 500,000 viewers.

That’s the kind of Canadian audience psychologist and talk show host Phil McGraw got during his broadcast last Thursday.

Getting a half-million viewers would also make Ignatieff’s Sunday appearance more popular than some daytime soap operas or a show like Entertainment Tonight.

So, can the Grits back up their audience estimate.

In a word, no.”

“Grits back expansion of heroin shooting galleries”

“Michael Ignatieff wants to see more taxpayer-funded heroin injection sites across Canada.”

By the way, "released by the campaign" usually means "take the day off" or "show up tomorrow with a new name."

Liz said, "Iggy says he would work with Layton. Does that mean he has coalition on his mind?"

I assumed this to mean, "Prime Minister Layton" if the NDP ended up with more seats than the Liberals.

I wonder if these overgrown children have ANY IDEA what dynamite they're dealing with, thinking that they can so easily discard 144 years of Canadian history. A Coalition of the LOSERS has NEVER happened before in our country's history. What makes things different now?!? Answer: NOTHING!!!

The canvasser was released by the campaign....

....and has resumed his regular duties as a member of the Volpe-Liberal team.

"So, can the Grits back up their audience estimate.

In a word, no.”

Yes, maz, but their friends in the MSM can back it up, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.......repeat a lie enough times, and it becomes the truth. The Fiberals are masters at it, and so are their friends in the media. They practice it daily.

bak- 4:28PM
What channel were you trying to switch us over to bak?
Most of us are happy watching Joe Volpe and his lackey starring in 'The Switch'. In this remake, Joe travels door to door with his own turkey baster...

Originally 20,000 $ for publicity purposes,that liberal thing about being tough on crime.

CBC now has an actual story up on this incident. Included in the story;

"Hegarty also claims she witnessed — but did not photograph — Volpe himself removing Green Party literature from mailboxes, a claim Volpe denies. The photos show Volpe and the campaign worker leapfrogging each other as they knock on doors in the riding."

There's an old joke about Baptists not recognizing each other in the liquor store. It could be said that Liberals don't recognize each other stealing other party's campaign literature.

Elections Canada has a complaint line, 1-800-463-6868.

The fellow I spoke to had not heard of any of this,but he did take the information,and said that someone would get back to me. I strongly urge others to phone in,the more the merrier.

Joe made CFTO News tonight

These people are above the law & know it.
When law is determined by political status or race, you have lawlessness. Only if folks are subject to the same penalties or close does it mean anything. As it stands a criminals gets less time every year being a favored class by Marxist liberals.

I have to repost,because I think it is very important,and I want to see if I can make bold letters.

Joe Volpe is a legitimate business man.

the Libranos, self appointed elites lording it over us minions, but it is "for the common good".

It's common that they fill their pockets/pensions with our goods alright.

Come on, sing it with me:

"Just another lying lieberal being true to his creed!"

What a crappy situation. Antics like this make everyone look bad, irrespective of political stripe. I've seen this election referred to as the most boring in contemporary history .. sorry I'm not buying it. A major battle is being waged.

Joe's defense is basically to say that he isn't crooked, he is juste hopelessly unaware of what goes on right undre his nose.

He is of course lying..

I am certainly no expert in Canadian politics but just one question: why do these Liberals look so creepy with fake smiles, Count Iggy too ~ they remind me of child molesters, the John Kerry and John Edwards types?

Orlin in Marquette, they aren't called crocodile smiles for nothing ...
