Canadian Election: Cadman Tape Not Altered

By admin

From this CBC story :

A tape recording at the centre of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s $3.5-million defamation suit against the Liberal party was not altered as the prime minister has claimed, a court-ordered analysis of the tape by Harper’s own audio expert has found.

What does this mean?  It means Harper isn’t fit to run as Prime Minister.

Harper has made a mockery of Canada’s House of Parliament and legal system by suing the official opposition, claiming that the tape of Chuck Cadman, the MP who was (and still is) at the centre of a scandal involving financial payments for votes in the House of Parliament, was falsified.

Again, from the CBC story:

… the recording includes Zytaruk’s question to Harper on whether he knew anything about a $1-million insurance policy that unidentified Conservatives had allegedly offered to Cadman in return for his support in Parliament against the Liberals.

"I don’t know the details, I know that, um, there were discussions, um, but this is not for publication?" Harper replies on the tape.

Stephen Harper also tried to have these results withheld until after the election.

Gee.  I wonder why?

When’s the next trial?  The one where Canadians will be allowed to sue Harper from gross misconduct, abuse of power, and embarassing the sanctity of the House of Commons, among other things?

Oh yeah … it’s on Tuesday.

VOTE.
