1. “the Conservative Party made public on Nov. 23 copies of cheques that the party had previously declined to provide and that showed that the donations had indeed been made.”
   Declined to provide? Or were never asked to provide?

   They did not. MT @pdrobertson Did @PostmediaNews give @FredDeLorey a chance to produce the cheques b4 publishing their BS story?

2. Many years ago….. when my immigrant parents arrived in Canada from Hungary …………..
   some old English speaking guy told my father that in Canada there are MORE HORSES ASSES in Canada than their are horses!!!
   Mr. Mahar, please retire from your chosen field of endeavour… NOW!!
   Look into your hallroom mirror and see if you see a horse or a HORSES ASS?

3. Maher is the poster boy for journalists who can’t handle booze and suffer from terminal Harper Derangement Syndrome.
   Sad case. He probably is qualified to a Mickey D’s Order Taker but chose journalism because common sense and math was involved working at a burger joint.

4. Yeah. Two weeks ago, when the opposition was shrieking in the HOC about the “false donations”, and demanding an investigation, their (widely covered) outrage was *entirely* based on Maher’s story in Postmedia News – they said so, right in the HOC. And even after the story was proven to be false, the story was presented in a sideways manner: Jennifer Ditchburn’s subsequent Canadian Press report on the HOC hoopla began – “The federal Conservatives are facing the same sort of questions about phoney donors as some of the players in Quebec municipal and provincial politics, prompting the Opposition to demand an investigation”; only later in the report did she bother to mention that the Conservatives had produced copies of the cheques.
   Question: How many Canadians read and watched – absorbed – the false allegations in the first few days spurred by Maher’s false story, which was entirely based on anecdotal information that he doggedly pursued as a “reporter”, compared to the number of people who are going to read this little “correction”? A hundred to one? A thousand to one?
   Maher’s smear did its job: damage. And Maher will keep “reporting.”
   He should be fired.

5. Btw, when I Googled a series of keywords from the “clarification” the following showed up on the first page:
   Global News: “Elections Canada asked to look at Tory donors”
   CBC: “NDP asks Elections Canada to probe Tory donations in Quebec”
   Some forum or other: “(Housakos) declined to produce copies of the cheques to Postmedia..”

6. Contemptable absolutely disgusting, I refuse to read his work atall.

7. Since the subject is partly on morality, this still fits in.

   Maybe there is still hope for the word “marriage”

8. It’s this type of crap that has driven me to ignore the CBC, the Globe&Mail and Global Television. Add the National Post to the list and the Calgary Herald (part of the Postmedia group)now hangs by a thread.

9. canuck66 hold the hysteria fella. We shouldn’t throw em all out with the bathwater.
   Maher has indeed been drinking too much of the Ottawa press kool-aid since he was imported from the netheregions but reporters don’t antiseptically get every thing correct. Some don’t try to, or even intend to as long as it fits the meme of the day. Hello Maher.
   We probably would be advised to keep these fawning idiots out in full view. I like to think that a typical Canuck will see through these seeming endless imbroglios that fizzle away to zip. Canadians just might want to smack dolts like Maher when we realize how much oxygen has been wasted.

10. I’ll file this story with the “Harper Communion Wafer” piece of creative writing. The proof of media bias lies in the fact that the “mistakes” and the inventions always point in the same direction.
