waldo Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2012/06/14/pol-dean-del-mastro-elections-canada-allegations.html Dean is in trouble here. say what! Elections Canada... sworn affidavit... Harper Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro’s election campaign filed a “false document” to Elections Canada! Say it ain't so, Dean Del Mastro... say it ain't so! But hey now! I thought Dean Del Mastro was Harper's point-man... the face of the accountable, transparent... and ever so innocent Harper Conservatives. Oh my! Time to bring in/back Pierre Poilievre. I agree... I'm thinkin' 3D Deano is going to be fairly silent from here on out and we will now be faced with "Weasel Boy" Poilievre to blither blather the Tory talking points... well, yes... as anticipated, Pierre Poilievre has picked up the DDM slack! Now, certainly, there was skepticism over the credibility of DDM's repeated claims that he was being treated unfairly... that he wasn't even aware of an Elections Canada investigation into his election campaign. Oh, wait... what's this?: New documents call into question Del Mastro’s claim he was unaware of Elections Canada investigation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleeding heart Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm just left wondering why "elections Canada" hasn't said anything as of late.. Could it be that there is no cause for an investigation? Sure would be nice to have transparency.. Seems like its a dead case? Sure would like to see if the "smoke" was the root of any "fire"? Or... Maybe there was no substance to this.... You have continually insisted that there is tremendous substance to it...all pointing directly at Jack Layton's likely machinations.

cybercoma Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The Good Ship Del Mastro is sinking slowly. The amount of corruption in this government is staggering from election fraud to procurement issues to patronage. They'll be uncovering dirty little secrets for years after these clowns leave office.

Topaz Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 On CBC, it was brought out that some Del mastro's relatives were paid $1000.00 plus $50.00 after they gave $1000.00 to his campaign in 2008. As I said before, Dean had his own "in and out" scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Even though this doesn't have any connection as yet to the topic of robocalling, I rather keep about elections under one forum. This is about the Tories vs the liberal than lost in the Toronto area. I feel IF they is ANY doubt, a byelection should be called but probably there won't be but the next election, tougher penalties and better training of inside workers especially with new voters, making sure they are on the voters list to vote and everyone should do their part to call Election Canada to make that clear. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/canada-court-tackles-election-26-vote-margin-201516493.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Leadnow and the NDP are working on a generic email campaign to flood Elections Canada with "contacts", urging EC to do a better job training their election workers.

On Wednesday, CBC reported that Paul Rich, the former CEO of the IDLP, took home more than $1 million in salary over two years, and other Innu leaders were paid $30,000 each to sit on the board of the company. Elections Canada documents said the loan was interest free, but a spokesperson for Penashue said that information was a typo, and the actual interest rate for the loan was seven per cent.

Rick Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Harper Conservatives lose another battle... The Federal Court is letting a challenge proceed regarding the 2011 election results in seven ridings across the country.A group of voters, backed by the Council of Canadians, wants the court to overturn the results because of allegations of misleading phone calls that attempted to send voters to the wrong polling stations. Overturning the results would mean a byelection in each riding. The seven Conservative MPs who won those seats had asked the court to dismiss the case before it went to a full hearing. Prothonotary Martha Milczynski heard the case on June 25. In her ruling, she says the applications to dismiss the election results raise serious issues about the integrity of the democratic process. The applications identify practices that, “if proven, point to a campaign of activities that would seek to deny eligible voters their right to vote,” Milczynski said. A prothonotary is a full judicial officer who has many of the powers and functions of Federal Court judges. Prothonotaries handle case management, mediation and practice motions. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/07/19/pol-council-of-canadians-lawsuit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 once again - the nefarious CPC with their secret agenda. Thats not a secret agenda. Its taking the position of blocking Elections Canada Information from the courts. Perhaps its irrellavent info, perhaps its embarrasing information. As Fantino is so prone to say... if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be afraid of disclosing information to the courts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no any evidence. The situation is very simple. The CoC is arguing that Election Canada might find some evidence for them in future. Conservatives say, let's start the trial. Proceeding with this frivolous case just indicates the sad state of the Canadian court system. No evidence required. Accused must wait indefinitely for the accuser to present his case. A miniscule probability of wrongdoing is addmitted by a judge as a proof of guilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waldo Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 sweeping Elections Canada investigation! Oh... really? Elections Canada has reported it is investigating reports of fraudulent and deceptive calls across Canada, but court documents made public Monday show investigators have not sought phone or Internet records for any calls beyond Guelph, Ont., raising a question about how vigorously the agency is looking into reports from voters. now some, possibly even the waldo, thought Elections Canada might effectively be neutered when Harper hand selected/appointed Yves Cote as the new Commissioner of Canada Elections, responsible for overseeing the robocalls investigation......
