@SusanDelacourt: Okay, Frank Valeriote and @evansolomoncbc seem to have obtained a sort-of-apology from Mr. Del Mastro on @PnP_CBC. #cdnpoli #crikey About the mix up.. watch PnP on cbc at 6 for more information

Yes it did, but that doesn't mean we should go oh meh nevermind who cares I want to know who Pierre Poutine really is

Their is clearly something going on in Guelph, you can't deny that.. all the other business is speculation

Nah, they were too happy to point out it was the liberals responsible .. that is until they were made aware of their mix up Harper was the one who made the claim.. guess he never thought to google or call the companies

It doesn't.. but it did prove they are panicking and by panicking I mean screwing up royally

As for First Contact in North Dakota .. during the election they already admitted someone was using their numbers for fraudulent reasons Apparently their numbers are used for fraudulent reasons a lot

Whatever, the Conservatives screwed up, Bob Rae has already handed over the information that shows they hired Prime Contact Group and not what the Conservatives accused them of(hiring Prime Contact Inc)

I guess its back to the drawing board....

@stphnmaher follow him too

follow @glen_mcgregor on twitter, he works for the Ottawa Citizen.. him and Stephen Maher are the main journalists that broke this robo call thing wide open yes you can believe whatever he says because whatevrr he says is usually reported by the other media outlets

The governments probably monitoring me.. I'm friends with anonymous on twitter and youtube

are you seriously asking that or are you embarrassed for believing the conservatives f*** up?

lol the cpc held a briefing with 6 media organizations about this "lpc hired american companies to robocall" but it ended up making them look retarded because the companies had similar named what a bunch of idiots, they really thought they had something rofl

The accusations led to confusion, however, centred around three call companies with similar names: Prime Contact Group, based in Canada, and Prime Contact Inc., based in North Dakota. Harper said the third company, First Contact, routed its calls through the U.S. But, as CBC News reported during the election, First Contact owner Mike O'Neill said someone was "spoofing" First Contact's numbers — projecting a fake caller ID — to impersonate his company. CBC News conducted its own experiment and found dozens of online companies and services that allow users to creat bogus caller IDs and faked display phone numbers. It takes just seconds and can be done for just pennies per call. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/03/01/pol-robocalls-elections-canada.html

Scribblet that is all misinformation Prime Contact which is a Canadian firm hired by Volpe is based in Canada and does not outsource to North Dakota

So, foreign donations to environmentalist groups = bad... is that what this looks like? Do you know what this reminds me of? This is basically the Conservatives getting rid of any competition or problems for the oil industry in Alberta.. kind of like your crooked police who are working for a drug king and maximizing his profits by getting rid of all of the competition and problems http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/02/29/pol-senate-foreign-charitable-donations.html The Conservative government has quietly begun looking into the charitable status of environmental groups in the Senate. Senator Nicole Eaton is sponsoring an inquiry into what she calls "funding by foreign foundations." Eaton began her debate Tuesday by laying out what she considers to be a threat to the Canadian economy. "This inquiry is about master manipulators who are operating under the guise of charitable organizations in an effort to manipulate our policies for their own gain," she said in the Upper Chamber. Environmental groups don't see it that way. "My fear is that they will just try to smear us and then walk away," said John Bennett, executive director of Sierra Club Canada. "And that they're hoping to frighten off U.S. foundations from supporting us... And they're going to try to turn off the public from supporting us." Eaton offered another explanation in an interview with CBC News. "Even if the inquiry only serves to give a heads up to some foundations that you're being looked at and if you want to keep your charitable status you might think about your money you get [then it is worthwhile]." That reaction didn't surprise the opposition. "They are being such bullies and they are pushing back on these perfectly legitimate groups that have every right as Canadian foundations and NGOs to take money that's legal money ... and make the case that reflects the interests of many, many Canadians," said Alberta Liberal Senator Grant Mitchell. There was speculation in January that the government would go after environmental charities in the House of Commons finance committee. That committee is in the middle of a 12-part study of tax incentives for charitable donations. So far, the finance committee has focussed mainly on how to encourage Canadians to increase their donations to all charities. The thinking behind starting this process in the Senate is that if any changes need to be made to legislation, the government can do it faster this way. "The Senate has the time to do things ... that [MPs] don't. And I think it's a good use of the Senate, quite honestly, because you can originate bills in the Senate," explains Eaton. So far, besides Eaton, six other Conservative senators are expected to speak on this subject. The presentations will cover a variety of issues related to funding by foreign foundations. They range from the economic impacts to the effect on Canadian sovereignty. Senator John Wallace was to speak Wednesday about the current state of legislation related on the issue.

Um no, the Conservatives got Prime Contact Inc mixed up with Prime Contact Group This was established minutes a go

Facepalm So today the CPC were blaming the LPC for the electoral mischief calls coming from America ...according to Del Mastro but it seems that the CPC got American Prime Contact and Canadian Prime Contact confused LOL good god

I included Siberia.. btw I didn't mean African Siberian lol, forgot commas

It's legal .. the speaker of the house even said so, lol, am I supposed to feel sorry for that POS? I don't and I don't think many do ... this is the man that was minister of traditional family values was he not or something like it? He was the "poster boy" for traditional family values during the same sex marriage debates His reputation is only hurt because he's a POS, not because the public now knows what we should have known given the mans position If he can lie to his wife like that for years and years... whos to say he wouldn't lie to Canadians?

China wants some of the arctic too..who knows, I doubt the CPC could do anything about it

Haha, no, it's pretty clear it was only because Layton was the leader of the NDP .. you may disagree though but this is old news

BTW Bill, in politics you pick a side, you are clearly on the CPC side of this, I'm on the other side, so for the love of god would you shut up about "they are your guys". You are god damn right they are my guys.

Blackmail? isn't that what the CPC is now doing with LPC with Adam Caroll, please take off your biased sun glasses Bill and agree with me that this is also black mail http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/tories-accuse-liberals-of-deeper-involvement-in-vikileaks-attack/article2355255/ The Conservatives have given the Liberals another five days to reveal what they know about the public release of salacious details of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’s divorce before they call the Liberal staffer who resigned over the affair before a committee.

I thought it was obvious many of the Quebec NDP MP's were voted in solely cause Jack Layton was the party leader Quite a few NDP MPs never thought they had a snowballs chance in hell of winning A few of them didn't even campaign ... one was on vacation in Las Vegas..
