More Thoughts On "In and Out" Part 2

Early today I wrote a piece about new allegations being made against the Conservatives about their election spending practices. This news has sent the progressive part of the blogosphere into action, coming up with their thoughts on the matter. Of course, this puts a whole new wrinkle into this scandal, showing that this scheme might not have been limited to just advertising. Also tonight, this has meant that progressive bloggers have started to look further into this, and come up with information like the following, courtesy of BigCityLib Strikes Back. This is a list of every Conservative candidate who claimed the polling/researching claims, that the Winnipeg Free Press mentioned today in their article:

Notice some big names there??? Well, we have high profile cabinet ministers there like John Baird, Tony Clement, Bev Oda and Jim Flaherty (another possible scandal for Jimmy??? Does he win a prize for "The Most Scandals"?). Also on that list are high profile Conservatives like James Moore, Tom Lukiwski, Helena Guergis and, wait for it PIERRE POILIEVRE. Yeah, that Pierre Poilievre. Isn't that just something else? This just keeps getting worse and worse for the Conservatives, and makes you wonder what other kinds of situations might be out there. All I can say is, stay tuned.Recommend this Post
