Great, it just became easier to dismiss legitimate criticism of the Conservatives as a false-flag operation.
Brilliant move.
Yup. It’s the stupidest thing the Liberal campaign could have done right now.
Every one of those idjits should be fired on the spot.
Way to blow a good lead and give your opponents ammo, and especially at an opponent that’s trying to grab onto every possible thing that could be an ammo.
Edit: And I also wanna say, man I just can’t with the CPC. Their rhetoric sucks, their role as the opposition is juvenile af (just look at this childish comeback!), and their entire existence feels like they just pull Canadian politics down to the sandpit and make people fight like dumb kids who don’t know and can’t act better.
The author and a conservative source both overheard a confession from someone at a bar. That’s not really solid evidence in my opinion. They weren’t even willing to name the people who made the confession. Name them and force them to respond. Get some video from the conference proving they were in attendance. Do some kind of investigation. This just feels like half a story.
CBC is reporting this as fact, not an allegation - it’s safe to assume that they know exactly who these campaign workers are.
There are also decent reasons not to name them just yet - if they’re low-level staffers, it’s worth trying to get a comment from the Party first, and/or try to determine how far up the ladder this goes. No sense in scapegoating the grunts until the higher-ups are ID’d.
Dirty, irresponsible and shameful. Those who did this should never work in politics ever again.
