In the ongoing court case brought by
Council of Canadians challenging the legitimacy of seven particular
ridings election results, RMG the company that worked for the
Conservatives is now claiming 'we
did not do it' despite compelling information
to the contrary. The Conservatives them selves are of course making
concerted attempts to have the case thrown out
before it comes before the courts, invoking every legal loophole they
can find. Thus far they have not succeeded the court having ruled
that “the applications raise serious issues about the integrity of
the democratic process in Canada and identify practices that, if
proven, point to a campaign of activities that would seek to deny
eligible voters their right to vote and/or manipulate or interfere
with that right being exercised freely.”
Steven Shrybman, lawyer for the Council
of Canadians, makes this point:
“Even though Langhorne describes the critical role the Conservative Party of Canada plays in creating the scripts that were read to voters and deciding who’s going to be called, there’s no one that’s come forward from the Conservative Party of Canada to explain what they were doing or not doing in relation to contacting non-supporters, which is the key issue at the centre of this case.”
At this point it is important to
realize that this action was NOT invoked by Elections Canada who have
in fact NOT, at this point, taken any action regarding the many
allegations of election fraud, election
funding fiddles and other very troubling
actions by the Harper Regime that appear to have been aimed at
stealing the election. It may be that Elections Canada is carefully
collecting evidence in order to prove wrongdoing but as with this
court case thing seem to be moving exceedingly slow. As
Saskboy says in his latest update :-
“When will this super-important case
be decided? Well, not until this Winter, at a yet to be determined
date. WTF? Our country’s democracy is up in the air, and the courts
are going to wait for four season changes since the story broke into
the mainstream last February, before they hear part of the
case? That’s so frucking ridiculous; as if they could possibly have
something more urgent than the legitimacy of our federal government!”
Much of this delay is of course due to
all the filings by the Cons who's main objective is NOT to get to the
truth (which in all probability would NOT prove their innocence) but
to delay and obscure as much as possible, no doubt to reach the point
where the courts will say yes there was cheating but its too late to
void the election results. Be assured that it will be either settled
or dismissed long before the next election so that the public can be
conned into forgetting about it when next at the polls. This writer
for one will NOT be forgetting any of the Harper Regimes various
lies, cheating and disdain of our democratic processes. In that
regard see the ongoing (incomplete) lists of malfeasance
by this lot in
the pages linked at
the top of this page.
In a related post Montreal
Simon reports that “Elections Canada investigators tracking
“Pierre Poutine” hit a dead end when the Internet address behind
misleading robocalls in the last election led them to an open Wi-Fi
connection in a private residence near Guelph.” Irregardless it
had to be someone with access to the database and RGM so SOMEONE
knows who it was!
