My understanding is that this riding is in play, and I'm wondering if this might be determinative.

Considering that CBC is reporting that the Tory candidate did the same thing...probably not.

Interesting.

I can't say that politicians don't do it. When a news crew is around they will tend to find a neighbourhood that is friendly, or even a house that is a known supporter.

Why is the CBC reporting for a CPC candidate and a LPC cadidates only get's CPAC coverage?

At least Garth Turner speaks his mind. The guy is wildly popular as a result.

I'm not sure I understand how he was "speaking his mind" in trying to weasel out of having to give the interview, then throwing his campaign manager under the bus?

Really? I didn't see anything on CPAC about this or the CBC website. Can you provide a link? Thanks.

Oh, I didn't click on the link, nor do I know what you're fretting about. I just can't stand people who join message boards specifically to bleet partisan nonsense.

Some of us on here appreciate a view OTHER than the standard conservative crap.

Keep up the good work and heck, they have not banned me yet so you are safe

Cheers!

From the Tory link and as reported on CBC Ormiston on the National. You can stream it if you want. Here is the discussion from the Tory link:

Actually, a Tory did do the same thing. In fact, in the same riding. CPAC rode along with Lisa Raitt to a local business....that just happened to be owned by one of the EDA Director's wife. Too bad that didn't get more play.

You must really hate Jdobbin, then, right?

A friendly neighborhood, okay, maybe, but your campaign manager's son? Give me a break. And acting like didn't know that? Phhht.

Garth screwed up and got caught. CPAC did the right thing in pressing Garth for a public statement since CPAC's and their reporters' reputation was on the line. They cannot be seen to be partisan or complicit in providing photo ops for candidates.

I visited Garth's blog and he has apologized for the incident.

Garth is under the microscope and should be very careful not to commit gaffes that will be picked up by Conservative supporters.

I watched this on CPAC last night and Garth didn't do the best job of extracating himself from the situation, but ultimately, who cares? I'm sure that the campaign was simply annoyed by CPAC's intrusion and set something up quickly to placate them.

Almost as bad as people who respond to something on the basis of complete and utter ignorance?

I think this is what I mean about personal attacks or personalizing in general. It isn't called for but it remains a hallmark of your posting.
