Looking into who accessed the court files in Winnipeg may lead to clues as to the identity of who's behind Anonymous' youtube videos.

rofl, nah, it won't, maybe carroll or someone who did a favour for him in Manitoba

Either way, whoever did it is going to be harassed by the RCMP for no reason because that is what "on the take" officers do whom work for the government

I would also bet when that internet spying bill is put into law that the first person monitored will be Adam Carroll and whomever helped him

Also how much would you like to bet that whoever legally found these records are going to be summoned by some committee?

Vic will drag this on

Just a question but how come he didn't have the divorce records sealed? apparently you can ask for it and they will seal them!! I thought this douchebag was a lawyer?

what a clown

Maybe closed for the Speaker, but the matter will not disappear in public discourse.

Why are you still talking about the Robo-Call scandal? No new evidence had been released. There's still an investigation going on.

I posted that link the very day the National Post ran the article. So obviously, the NP is till talking about it.

The conservatives are doing an excellent job of keeping it in the news by pushing their weight around trying to get to the bottom of it. I think they are under the mistaken impression there will be a political price to pay to the person who tweeted the info. Meanwhile a two-day story is in its second week. :lol:

OTTAWA — Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is accusing a campaign worker for an NDP leadership candidate of being sent to dig up dirt on his divorce proceedings.

Those proceedings were then released in 140 character bites on Twitter under the handle, VikiLeaks.

On Thursday, Toews took to Twitter allege a campaign organizer for Paul Dewar was sent to get the divorce papers at the behest of Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger.

Toews said his source for the information was NDP MP Pat Martin, who allegedly admitted that the NDP wanted the information in the court documents.

Toews won a court order Wednesday giving him access to court records to see who had accessed the publicly available divorce files.

"It seems (Dewar) MB organizer Thomas Linner was sent to collect dirt on my divorce records," Toews wrote.

"(Martin) told me MB Premier wanted verification of my divorce."

Dewar's camp confirmed their Manitoba organizer, Thomas Linner, did go to the courthouse but only after the VikiLeaks account went live.

"After (Foreign Affairs Minister) John Baird accused the NDP of exposing personal information, Thomas Linner was asked by the NDP to check the public records so that they knew what they were being accused of," said Dewar spokesman Joe Cressy.

Martin, an outspoken member of the opposition, quickly took to Twitter to refute the allegations.

"That's not true. I told Vic the fed NDP wanted to check the veracity of (VikiLeaks) after Baird accused us. Mb NDP verified files," Martin wrote.

"The Mb NDP staffer went to look at Vic's divorce file on Feb 17, well after (VikiLeaks) started and only after Baird blamed the NDP."

"I made this Clear to Vic Toews yesterday. He is deliberately misrepresenting the facts for some reason unknown to us."

What isn't clear from the thread of quick messages is how that connects with the Liberal staffer who admitted he was behind the VikiLeaks account. A message to Toews was not returned by Thursday evening.

The Tories delayed making a decision Tuesday on whether to haul Adam Carroll before a parliamentary committee, wanting to question him about his use of parliamentary resources to tweet unflattering details of Toews' divorce proceedings.

Carroll was working in the party's research bureau when he set up the Vikileaks30 account. Carroll created the Twitter account after Toews suggested in the Commons that opposing Bill C-30 — the so-called online surveillance bill — was akin to siding with child pornographers.

The Liberals said Carroll apologized for his role in the VikiLeaks account and resigned from his job.

Speaker of the House of Commons Andrew Scheer ruled the VikiLeaks Twitter account was an "unacceptable use of House IT resources," but considered the matter closed after interim Liberal leader Bob Rae made a public apology to Toews.

Toews, however, was not ready to let the matter go, saying that the NDP were now trying to delay the Commons ethics committee from looking into the VikiLeaks affair.

"We know the Libs used public resources for dirty tricks. What are the NDP also hiding?" Toews tweeted.

Well...so much for the Liberals doing the right thing.

Liberals rehire 'Vikileaks' Twitter account creator

I guess the appearance of integrity is all that counts.

"Carroll quit his job in the Liberal research bureau once he was identified as the source of the account, and interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae apologized to Toews in the House of Commons."

I wonder if Bob Rae will retract his heartfelt apology?

I remember this was going on the same time as Robo-Call. People were saying Robo-Call wouldn't go away, haven't heard about it in months. Thanks to Liberal idiocy, this issue is back in the news. :lol:

I guess you haven't been paying attention to the ongoing investigation in the news or the acceptance of a court challenges for numerous ridings across the country.

yes

Not quite comparable, but I agree Toews is slimy for his adultery. But going back to when my mother worked on the Hill it was fairly well known that dozens of MPs were having affairs at any given time. Adultery was commonplace, and sexual hijinks with staff or in their officeswas not at all uncommon. My mother's MP boss cheated on his wife and then married a woman who'd had children by two different MPs.

Now that the Liberals have more or less acknowledged they decided to make use of this information which the media normally ignores, to smear Toews, I hope we'll learn more about which MPs are adulterers. Which ones are paying for prostitutes? Which ones are screwing around with office staff, or young boys, etc. I like to know about the moral failures of these oh-so-noble individuals. I hope the Tories now start publishing details of Liberals and Liberals retaliate, and then we start learning about the NDP, etc. A happy little muck pen will at least give us a better idea what kind of people are on the Hill.
