Jaffer had his day

[scorpio]

If he has ruined his wifes career by leading her astray I really will have stronger words for him. But that is not proven as yet that she did anything deliberately that was unethical. Stupid maybe!But there is more to come.

Even if she should get the nomination in the next election from her conservative riding ,Harper can refuse to sign her nomination papers as he will likely do. Right or wrong! She is toxic material politically.

Funny, I never thought I'd ever say this but I almost feel sorry for Helena.

No, it does not and it need not be an Ontario connection. Such connections are not "official".

And MDcancer, I believe the excuse that police made some procedural errors would typically be overlooked for ordinary persons who are lower profile.

Baloney. That's like saying that no one sub celebrity status has ever been released due to a technicality. You know that is an indefensible position...

[M.Dancer]

Had they gone to trial ...

It did go to triel...

As for your "moronic people", I doubt there are many here since we all have interest in news, history and politics.

An interest is not an accumen

But if you just mean, people who disagree with you well that's your problem and yours alone.

No I meant people who agree with you and your discredited opinion.

The case was quickly ended before any details of the incident were brought before the court. The prosecutor felt it would be impossible to get a conviction. The crown had something to hide, that is- exposing the practice of police abuses on anonymous persons. so it was to their advantage not to proceed, when the lights are on.

I don't need anyone to agree with me. If the public were always right the world would not be screwed up.

[M.Dancer]

So much for the justice system as it applies to those with friends in "high" places

You should make up your mind...which is it....knowing people in high places or the crown protecting police...?

Now given we know what mistakes were made, that should narrow it down for you

Those are all valid reasons to suspect that injustice was served. There's no inconsistency. The police did the wrong things and as I have said before, they probably do that on a regular basis. I have said, to you, the police know their job damn well. They know when they are doing something that is out of line with procedure.

Jaffer has had several days! Many of those were an affront to justice in my opinion. The man was caught driving drunk and in possession of cocaine. He cheated his constituents and was called on that as well. He has lied in front of a Parliamentary Committee and was called on that. He attempted to profit from his political connections and has been called on that.

How or why can this man be trusted?

[Jack Weber]

Influence peddling is much worse than incompetence. Incompetents should be fired or at least, retrained, criminals should be punished, if only as an object lesson to others.

I'm not sticking up for Jaffer,but the thing is he did'nt have the influence he convinced himself he did...He's simply and egomaniac and a buffoon...

[Muddy]

No, it does not and it need not be an Ontario connection. Such connections are not "official".

But you are making an assumption that he was treated differently because of his political influence . Any influence he thought he had in Federal politics was never there as has been proven this past week.

No Sir, your argument of any undue influence has to be with the Ontario justice system ! I am angry at this couple, but I see no connection with influence from this Harper Government in Jaffer`s charges by the OPP. Stop trying so hard. There is lots you can condemn Harper for that may be questionable.
