I’ve only skimmed a couple of pages. I’ve put one up in the extended entry.
Having read more, all I can say is that this is damning stuff. How self-respecting backbenchers in the Liberal party can continue to prop up this disgrace is beyond comprehension.
The CBC is doing their best to ignore this…it’s not even on their main page right now.
These people should not be governing, they should wasting in prison.
I want an election now, if for nothing else, then to prove how stupid a good portion of Ontario voters are, and if necessary to put the final nail in the coffin of this disgusting country.
The liberals have been stealing for years from each canadian. What is the matter with the public that they will vote in a corrupt government time and again. The tapes show once again their stragedy of never answering a dishonest act and adopting an offensive position. We are the laughingstock of the world..professing to be morally superior to everyone, and in reality, we have become a banana republic, lost our democracy. God help Canada. I fear we are lost..If the Liberals get into office again…Quebec will leave and so will the West. The Maritimes will be a right-off and Ontario will go it alone, propping up a corrupt regime,Hello aMERICA. The WEst can get along very well without the East….
No one believed Inky Mark when he said he was appoached. What we are getting from the tape recording is a Liberal blueprint of how to buy influence. There is nothing to suggest that the same blueprint was not used by the Liberals to bring Scott Brison and Belinda Stronach into the Liberal Party. The only question is when is the media going to start connecting those dots?
When every outraged Canadian gets on the phone to the head office of the CBC and CTV and the Globe and the Star the rest of the Liberal friendly press and starts raising hell about their negligience and incompetence, and starts to cancel subscriptions.
Did you notice in the tapes that they were not actually asking Grewal to “cross the floor”. They were asking him and his wife to “abstain” from voting – citing various reasons “on principal”.
Then to cross potentially later at an expeditious time for his rewards for taking risks.
So, the CBC , CTV spin on this that “people cross the floor all the time” is not even relevant.
The Liberals were, in fact, vote tampering.
To cover up vote buying scandals.
They were not “recruiting a new Liberal member”.
I’ve always found it curious that the CBC haven’t attacked Murphy harder on this, and it does make you wonder why not. Now here are the last few words on the subject from tonight’s National(Keith Boags): “…it’s curious that they (conservatives) aren’t attacking him (Grewal) on this, and it does make you wonder why not.”
Seriously.
Paul Martin is captured on a gas station surveillance video tape standing over a body–covered in blood and clearly dead–with a pistol.
His defences:
1) I didn’t know the video recorder was there. That’s entrapment.
2) The gun isn’t actually smoking on the tape.

Outraged Canadians should be cancelling their ‘scripts to the media they least trust (well, the pickings are slim…), pulling advertising, e-mailing and phoning, as Kate noted. But frankly, I think most people are too tired to care. They want their news packaged in two-liners and spoon-fed. Please, don’t make me think about what you’re saying. Just tell me what I OUGHT to think. I’m beginning to think bloggers are the only ones who care. And Gidget Taber was her usual gawd-awful self, giggling and fawning over a gay couple in Ottawa to get married and support the government in their attempts to get the SSM bill passed (they were the amazing race couple). Puff was really struggling to appear objective, but I think he’s forgotten how.
Iron Lady: can you imagine Jane “Deep Throat” Taber employed by a major (as Canadians see it) US paper or network? Or by the Des Moines Register, the Sacramento Bee or the Seattle Post-Intelligencer? Maybe Fox Sports Radio–which is truly hideous with chuckling guys and giggling girls. Oops. The CBC in its cross-broadcasting mode.

Iron Lady: forgot that The Taber is mainly on CTV. Another cross-broadcaster (chortling Puff).
Not Hot: Grewal
Hot: Deep Throat (ME!)

This is just ridiculous. What is wrong with the media in this country? They’ve got a scandal on Parliment Hill that’s practically gift wrapped and no one cares to touch it. Pulitzer Prizes have been give for less for pity sakes!
In a democracy the media play a vital role in keeping our public figures and government officials accountable and the public informed. They are the first line of defense. They have let us down. Democracy has been all but destroyed in this country by a corrupt regime, a irresponsible press corps, and a lazy, complacent electorate.
As someone who works in the newspaper biz, who has defended the media on numerous occasions, I am extremely ashamed.
Short of killing people on live TV, what would the liberals have to do that would upset the public enough to remove them office?
Why haven’t the Tories just released the friggin’ tapes in their entirety, full stop? That’s what anyone with half a clue would have done…assuming the tapes really do contain the damning evidence they’re supposed to.
(And yes, I know the Dosanjh tapes are in Hindi or whatever it is. But it’s not hard to find a neutral translator in Ottawa, in this day and age.)
Notice the media is not reporting AT ALL on today’s Conservative motion to amend Gomery’s mandate so he can name names.
Notice the wee bit of tv it got was Scott Brison and the Justice Minister saying the Conservatives were too stupid to run a country is they don’t understand that changing this mandate would “derail” the entire inquiry.
Notice what clips your local Global news also played.
This certainly goes far beyond a Liberal “media conspiracy theory”…we are now officially in Pravda mass media manipulation mode by the one party state.
How do we even begin to get around this?
I don’t know, Allison. I kind of hoped you would come up with something.
We need a “Deep Throat” in the RCMP and CSIS and maybe throw in the FBI and Scotland Yard.
Anybody have connections?
Duffy on CTV’s Counterpoint tonight said something about people saying “why do all politicians lie.” The answer, according to Duffy -“because it works and it has been working for about the past 25 to 30 years. !!!”.
My reply to this is” Politicians lie because the duplicite media let them get away with the lies;
Co-conspiring reporters don’t cross-question them on the lies; they also promote and repeat the lies.
Mr. Duffy – If it was not for media individuals such as yourselves, shamelss cheerleaders for the lying politicians they would not have gotten away with lying to Canadians for 30 years.”
You talk to people–everyday, and where ever you go. Someone may be motivated to set up a “boycott” site, something to attract attention. Donate your time and money to your local Conservative candidate until they let us vote again.
They *are* going to let us vote eventually, right? *shudder*
Does anyone have any connections to Fox News. Kevin, Ezra?? Get Bill O’Reilly to do a piece on this. Kevin you could get him to interview you and you can give him the lowdown. How about it??
Here is a site that will be starting up this summer that is long overdue in Canada.
http://www.mediabias.ca/
I hope a lot of us support this vital initiative. It is being organized by the Citizen’s Centre for Freedom and Democracy
(two things we are sadly lacking in Bananda)
Nota bene
Kate sorry I posted on the wrong site above about Fox News. TOO MUCH SITE HOPPING.
Allison I just watched Duffy,and he had on this law professor who WOULD NOT condemn the Liberals. All he could say was well the Supreme Court ruled on entrapment and it could be bad for Mr Grewal. He should be very careful. How bad can it get in this country when a law professor wont speak out against corruption.
Media Bias,
Trust we all are familiar with,
http://www.cbcwatch.ca
The media will never give up on their team.It’s foolish to expect them to behave as if they care about the ethics, when what they love are the tactics.All the liberals and media have to discuss are cynical tactics, and it’s prime fodder for bullshit sessions in the bar.
Duffy, Newman, et al,are proud of their insider cynicism and being oh so clever at applauding corruption.They are no better than drama critics.
There are a whole new crop of young journalists working their way up the ladder. We are all being manipulated by a bunch of old guys who have lost their objectivity, especially on the national TV networks.
We have to get to the local reporters in our communities. Let’s give them stories. Let’s MAKE news at the community level- that’s where the votes are.
I think Grewal’s intention was to bring to attention how desperate the Librano$ are to maintain power, and how deep in the sewer they’ll go to stay there. I don’t think he has any intention of pushing it unless someone else does.
I’ll give TM one thing, he’s slick as whale shit on an ice floe. I’ve never heard *so much* misdirected doublespeak come out of one person’s mouth in such a short a period of time. Here’s an interesting excercise for those who haven’t viewed the transcripts. *Read* them before you *listen* to the tapes. What comes through on tape *crystal* clearly is the utter disdain and disregard for the political process the Liberals possess. They are untouchable and they know it. Also, the written transcript is much much easier to quote out of context, not that the Libs would do this. *cough*
GG said it best when he originally released the 8 minutes. Why did he tape these meetings? BECAUSE YOU IGNORANT, MOUTH BREATHING, LIBERAL SYCHOPHANTS WOULD *NEVER* BELIEVE ME OTHERWISE. Of course I’m paraphrasing.
CPC is playing this right. Gomery fatigue is setting in, witnesses are winding down. Let Canadians digest this latest act of tyranny by the Liberals. Canadians are like infants–feed too much at a time and they can’t digest it. Let the MSM be apoplectic, they hate it when the spin is taken away from them.
Jack Layton should be finding a way NOW out of his unHoly alliance to prop up the Liberals.
He would totally clean up in Toronton. In fact, the NDP are outpolling the Libs in the GTA even in the skewed manipulated polls we get from the manipulated Lieral media.
Jack would be the BIG winner if an election was called right now.
Someone should tell him that.
MikeP: “How bad can it get in this country when a law professor wont speak out against corruption.”
Duffy said later in the broadcast, in passing, that the prof was a former Liberal executive council (or was that counsel?) something-or-other.
CTV and The National really outdid themselves on this historic night. They took the smoking gun firmly in their hands and stuck it up our collective ass.
It’s amazing how PET’s gallic shrug can make you feel ethically violated twenty-five years later. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
The C.B.C is finaly going to be introducing a reality television program. It will be a tragic-comedy about media distortion. Itza gonna be hillarious when they talk about Grewal “behind his back”. Also, don’t forget to watch the compelling love intrest story between B.S’s lips and P.M.P.M’s ass.
Ah, Truthfully, they won’t know until Thursday…
When Cadman stands…
…chewing gum like he’s at a yard sale….
The MSM in Canada and Lib/ND type truth deniers remind me of myself in my high school days when everyone wanted to be “in the In Crowd”. I lived in a small town, I was on the fringe of the “in crowd”. A pretty girl moved in accross the street from me, she seemed nice to me and I was willing to be friends with her. My ‘in crowd’ friends frooze me out – if the new girl was to be my friend, I was “OUT”, it was not in their intrests to have any competition around!! Dumb me, I dropped that girl like a hot potatoe. In the middle of grade 12 I moved to a new school and no one would even speak to me if they could avoid it. I spent my senior year ‘looking in’, it was not much fun. My Mom always said ‘what goes around comes around’!! It worked that way for me.
I look at gushing Tabor, sneering Newman and those reptiles at CTV and poison pen letters from the likes of Greg Weston. It reminds me of those nasty girls who I followed – blindly. I think they (MSM et al) know that Stephen Harper is no 16 year old Jema54 and that is why they are grasping to save their Liberal ‘mentors’ not because they like them but they have never left the high school hop! Most of them are too old to grow up now but someday I want them to be looking ‘in’ from the ‘ cheap seats’ Poetic Justice.
There’s little hope from the up-and-coming “young” journalists in waiting. They’ve all been educated in Liberal dominated university journalism programmes. Most don’t know how to think independently, and any who have the slightest bit of integrity have gone south.
I’m sorry if this has already been covered by i’m curious as to what the difference is between Grewal and Belinda Stronach? Is it, simply, that there’s proof? It seems Stronach was bought off and given a Cabinet position. Isn’t that bribery? I haven’t read anything in the media really connecting these two dots – go figure – but the two scenarios seem awfully similar. I’ve checked out the portion of the criminal code that Coyne posted sometime ago but I don’t see any reference to the significance of a third party brokering the deal. ie/ David Peterson. If anyone can provide me their thoughts on this I would appreciate it.
Ringtones for the Democratic Deficit?
I was minding my own business, catching up at Belmont Club…when what did I spy?
