Liberals: First they came for the Bloggers

But a Victoria man, Eugene Parks, and Toronto Tory dissident Carole Jamieson allege the venture may be in contravention of the Elections Act and thirdparty financing laws. They say it may have “unduly influenced the election coverage and potentially the outcome of this campaign.” [. . . . ]

By golly, I only hope these Blogging Tories have some influence on the election campaign.

* How many lawsuits have the Liberals announced or pursued against anyone who writes about them or anyone who exposes their shenanigans?

* Yesterday, I posted on a Toronto Liberal's efforts to close down voting at the University of Toronto by getting Elections Canada to end having polling stations there.

* Today, the above.

Desperate and dangerous as Warren Kinsella would say, the Liberals must stand to lose a lot if Canadians really cotton onto them. Not all Liberals are corrupt and duplicitous but those who are are obviously feeling cornered enough to act like cornered rats.

Other stories broken by bloggers during this election include the potential truth behind the international spat orchestrated by Paul Martin, Ralph Goodale's request for a sole-source contract for Earnscliffe, Ralph Goodale's faxscam, David Smith's Abotech affair, and Tony Valeri's land dealings among others.
