“Because the campaign offices of trailing candidates tend to be so empty in the week before an election that anyone can just stroll in and do some freelance smear work.
That’s plausible.”
So – as pointed out on John Gormley Live just now – not only did some unidentified homeless guy sneak into Axworthy’s campaign headquarters unnoticed to “freelance”, he sat there on hold for 12 minutes.
Yes. Plausible.

(Wells claims he was speaking tongue in cheek, and that I missed it. This is plausible. I have been forced to live in a state of suspended disbelief ever since Lorne Calvert endorsed a Conservative government.)
You’l get a kick out of this Kate.
Dom McKay worked on Axworthy’s campaigns when he was a provincial NDP and he told me Chris made the switch to federal Liberal when he figured he had no chance of getting back in as NDP provincially. Don also told me the NDP in the province only feared on potential SaskParty leader, Brad Wall.

Chris Axworthy took almost 24 hours to come up with an explanation for the call that was made from his headquarters to the televised call in show making the false accusation of sexual assault against the Conservative candidate.
I think the excuse and explanation was worthy of the battery of lawyers, the Hollywood Script writer and the long wait for staff indoctrination.
The official line is that Axworthy’s office is located in a strip mall and is accessible to the public. Someone marched in ( possibly a homeless person ) and used the party phone to call in to the debate . The fact that he was on hold for 12 minutes didn’t raise any suspicions but in fact he could have been served a donut and coffee.
Could it be that Chretiens imaginary little homeless guy who he consulted for years has moved to points west and is actively running smear campaigns for Martin now? Thta phantom homeless guy gets around in Liberaldom’s excuse doctrine.
Beware of Wells: his first name is Paul, ergo he must have a hidden agenda!!!
