The robocall blame falls at the feet of Elections Canada?
Seriously?
What has this guy been smoking?
“I suspect that at the end of the day, if Elections Canada has the resources to do a proper investigation, they’ll find they’re themselves significantly responsible, that tech issues with marrying EC lists to available, electronic phone lists is part of the problem, and in a few instances there may have been malfeasance by one (political) party or the other,” wrote Vellacott.
Of course, this wacko has spoken without thinking before:
From May 2006:
From 2005:
2009:
Yup. He’s a nutbar, alright.

So, basically he’s almost suggesting Elections Canada may not have the necessary resources do to a proper investigation. Someone should stand up in the House of Commons and ask the government to ensure the
EC receives the necessary resources if they’re lacking. And also ask why they don’t have the necessary resources.
In all fairness to Vellacott being a nutbar is no longer a disqualifying problem for our politicians. In fact it seems more and more it might actually be a necessary trait. Especially in a party where no one gets to decide anything outside the PMO.
I come from BC, where being a crook isn’t a barrier to political office either. Hence, I have some difficulty with people getting all up in arms about criminal politicians.
Give or take a few, I find they’re all at least amoral, if not criminal. Some just haven’t been called on it/caught yet.
Don’t you know, Election Canada is Rack-9’s biggest customer 😉
In all fairness, the commentary around Stronach is pretty accurate, and would be whether it was Barbara or Bernard.
