Billy Mays here with your latest As Seen On TV fad/junk:
If you missed the phony deadline to save $2, don’t worry, I have a way you can save thousands, and avoid paying the carbon tax too.
As you can read here, it’s already less expensive to buy a used EV than a new gas burning vehicle with most of the same features for city driving.
BONUS:
The Duffy Trial has been a bit of an expose on how the Harper Cons’ PMO operated. It’s not pretty.
The comments made about Sona and Finely are nothing to sneeze at either.
With Sona destined to sit in jail, and Finely in a grave, it all seems a little bit of an academic discussion now, except the Con’s supporters are now clamouring for a referendum to salvage (savage?) our electoral system.
Not sure what’s more pathetic and hypocritical:
Wudrick and Taylor feigning desire for un-tinkered elections, or Wall pining for Ottawa money.
The hypocrisy in each case approaches satirical levels, yet each happened today!
Here’s a joke about the Boy Scouts standing behind Harper for a photo-op he arranged.
Scouts aren’t allowed to appear in uniform at political events.
Dean Del Mastro is going to jail for a month, house arrest for longer, and cannot run (for office) for at least 5 years.
I was interviewed for the E-Day documentary film being wrapped up this Summer. What’d I say? You’ll have to wait until it’s been all put together. I can’t wait!
Please help Peter put this movie in front of thousands of Canadians.
Peter is making a film about the RoboCon election fraud. His tour gets started tomorrow in Guelph, where the most famous incident in hundreds of ridings took place.

Hat tip to TGB
Hapless Dean Del Mastro, the former Prime Ministerial Parliamentary Secretary is supposed to soon find out how long he’ll spend in jail away from his wife and baby child.
Avoiding any responsibility was no small feat for the Conservative party, given how strongly the evidence pointed to some sort of organized scheme, presumably involving the authorization — or at least the tacit co-operation — of high-level officials within the party.
Indeed, in a 100-page ruling, Federal Court Judge Richard Mosley found that there was an organized campaign of voter suppression, and that the information used to make misleading phone calls to non-Conservative voters likely came from the Conservative party’s internal database, known as CIMS.
“Why can’t investigators learn who downloaded the phone list of non-Conservative voters in Guelph (and elsewhere) from CIMS? Well, we’ve been told that information was mysteriously destroyed by the Conservatives. Seems clean and ethical, eh? Maybe Fair and Balanced also?” – I wrote years ago.
McQuaig:
It’s striking that the Conservatives don’t seem the slightest bit concerned that the party’s top-secret internal database was apparently used as part of an organized campaign of voter suppression.
Michel said… June 2, 2013:
If my political party’s database had been used to (orchestrate) systemic fraud across the country, I’d want the party to be out in front and guarantee that they would root out the elements that were responsible and put safeguards so it doesn’t happen again.
Considering the complete lack of concern from the Conservatives, I infer that all is (as) it should have been.
McQuaig continues:
Rather, as they gear up for the next election, the Harper crowd is focused on ensuring that not a single vote by an undocumented homeless person, student or senior will be allowed to contaminate our democracy.
Technically clean and ethical? Not even close.
“If the Commissioner of Canada Elections is prepared to ignore the findings of two judges, I think that will speak very poorly of the powers of investigations we have in this country to explore electoral fraud.”
Côté has not yet responded to May’s complaint.
It’s absolutely unacceptable that Elections Canada failed to contact the leader of a national political party after they made a formal complaint in 2011 alleging election fraud took place on a wide scale.
