lol, funny rick mercer skit on anyonmous

It is crap like this that won't endear US to the world.. and whats with this obsession with banning Cuban Cigars? Cuban misdile crisis was 5 decade a go jesus christ what makes US think they can get away with this? http://cphpost.dk/news/international/us-snubs-out-legal-cigar-transaction Authorities in the US have refused to return 137,000 kroner that was confiscated from a Danish policeman who attempted to legally purchase Cuban cigars from Germany. Torben Nødskouv intended to resell the cigars through his small business Cigarhuset and made the transaction in dollars with a Hamburg-based distributor. But the transaction, which was automatically routed through the US, was picked up by American authorities who froze the money, arguing that the transaction violated the American trade embargo with Cuba. Nødskouv appealed after the $20,000 transaction was frozen last autumn, but the money may be permanently lost after he was recently informed that it would not be returned to him. The intervention of the American authorities in a legal transaction between two European countries has provoked criticism from a range of politicians and experts who argue that the US has overstepped its place in their policing of financial transactions under the guise of fighting terrorism. Speaking to Berlingske newspaper, the foreign minister, Villy Søvndal, said he was concerned by the Americans' decision, adding that as it was a European issue, it would be brought up by the EU in their running dialogue with the US. “It is worrying that the US is extraterritorially applying American legislation to regulate business activities outside of the US,” Søvndal said. “I do not think it is fair that the US intervenes with European businesses, especially with a legal transfer of money between two European countries.” Hans Jørgen Bonnichsen, the former head of the domestic intelligence agency PET, called on Denmark to use its position as EU president to pressure the US into releasing the money. “The case is an obvious opportunity for the Danish presidency to step up to the plate,” Bonnichsen told Berlingske. “It’s a clear example of the US abusing rules which were implemented to fight terrorism. That the American authorities can stop a completely legal financial transaction between two European countries is an abuse of EU citizens’ rights.” Nødskouv’s case is not the first time the American authorities have confiscated Danish money. In 2008, dress seller Christa Møllgaard-Hansen from Maribo had 205 dollars frozen after attempting to buy six dresses from Pakistan.

yes they did but racknine is not being investigated, the conservative party is

That rcmp raided racknine?

Spiderfish none of that comes remotely close to saying canadians side with child pornographers not even in the same ball park

How do people like Santorum even get elected? Its just insane to me that even some Americans are that insane

its absolutely not their job to say they are from elections canada that is illegal

BUSTED http://m.theobserver.ca/articledisplay.aspx?e=3484340 Conservative MP Pat Davidson defended her 2011 federal election campaign Monday after new details emerged in the so-called “robocalls” scandal. Former employees of Response Marketing Group hired by the federal Conservative Party claim they were asked to read scripts that claimed Elections Canada had changed its polling locations, according to new reports. Davidson’s was one of 95 Conservative election campaigns that used RMG, according to Elections Canada. Her campaign paid $27,685 to “RMG Relationships & Results.” Davidson told The Observer that neither the federal Conservative Party or her local campaign were behind any misleading calls in Sarnia-Lambton. “We did have some calls reported to us that (voters) were (directed) to a place that wasn’t even an address,” she said Monday. “It wasn’t coming from us. I don’t know who were doing the calls. We reported them to Elections Canada.” The Observer was aware of one misleading call made during the 2011 election. A St. Clements, Ont. resident contacted the newspaper after tracing back to a Sarnia-Lambton number an automated message that provided a wrong polling station. The voice mail identified the number as belonging to the Conservative Party. Davidson’s campaign manager, Mike Hanki, said callers from RMG contacted constituents on behalf of Davidson during the election. Those calls were made to identify voters, to remind people to vote, and to hear about local issues, he said. “As far as (identifying) polling (locations), we don’t do that because to me, that would be a waste of our funds because that’s always provided by Elections Canada in the paper.” Hanki did hear about misleading calls, but the complaints came from Conservative supporters who had received them, he said. “We did have a lot of concerns on that because we had a lot of our supporters calling us up on that very same thing.” The complaints were forwarded to Elections Canada, he said. Interim Liberal leader Bob Rae asked the Speaker Monday for an emergency debate on the issue. He said the Liberal party has identified 27 ridings with allegations of voter suppression and electoral fraud. “We are entering into a kind of Nixonian moment in our political culture, where all kinds of dirty tricks seem to be possible,” Rae said Monday. Davidson’s campaign office was also one of 67 federal Conservatives involved in the so-called “in and out” election scandal, when expenses were shifted between local campaigns and the national Conservative campaign to skirt the $8.3-million Elections Canada advertising spending cap.

http://www2.macleans.ca/2012/02/27/the-trouble-with-the-harper-governments-explanation/ I count 11 ridings that have so far been linked to allegations that voters were called about their polling stations: Guelph, Kitchener Centre, Kitchener-Conestoga, Kitchener-Waterloo, London West, Parkdale-High Park, Nipissing-Timiskaming, Elmwood-Transcona, Winnipeg South Centre, Sydney-Victoria and Saanich-Gulf Islands. (For sourcing see here, here, here, here and here.) Meanwhile, the CBC now has a list of all the ridings where changes to polling stations occurred during the last 24 days of last year’s election. Of those 11 ridings that are the subject of alleged phone calls about polling stations, I see four on that list: Kitchener Centre, Kitchener-Conestoga, Guelph and Parkdale-High Park. The other seven are not mentioned.

Harper loves using the word "ethical" .. obviously he is over compensating due to his lack of ethics

They had the script for the robo calling irwin cotlers riding spreading lies they let the opposition see it i read i dont see why they wouldnt still have copies IF it was as they say a series of mess ups

do you trust the cpc to hand the unaltered scripts over?

the call centre agents say otherwise http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/politics/article/1137273--conservative-scripts-misdirected-voters-in-2011-election-say-call-centre-staff?bn=1

Its not their job to tell anyone the poll station was moved and if any of them said they were from elections canada (which some did according to recent revelations they broke the law)
