Something
I usually don't do is post many articles from the far left media The
Globe and Mail, however 3 of today's articles seem to be almost a
precursor to retracting their past rhetoric on Robocalls.
In
the first article: "The
case against a Conservative conspiracy", aside from the
possibility of a training school staffer accidentally misspeaking
with a hypothetical “You didn’t hear this from me, but here’s
one thing you could do…” However they concede (unlike the Liberal
party has been able to do, even after Vikileaks), “But a vast
Conservative conspiracy to steal the general election? No.” Which
is a far cry from how they have been misrepresenting the situation
thus far, highlighted by their article soliciting complaints.
In
the second article: “If
robo-calls were meant to keep voters away, they failed miserably”,
they go so far as to concede “It seems very unlikely that these
alleged tactics greatly influenced the results of the 2011 election.”
In
the third article: “Tory
support steady despite robo-call,e-snooping uproars: poll”,
they have assessed the damage that these scandals have had on voter
support, which has been none. Nick Nano's correctly assesses that “I
think for many average Canadians who are very cynical, they find it
hard to believe that politics of any colour is ethical,”. Although
I myself would go a step further, and I would say that the
Conservative base remains unchanged because they generally agree with
rule of law, which is innocent until PROVEN guilty. Which is
something the rhetoric against the Tories as a whole has failed to
do. I am concerned at the increase of support for the Liberals
though, especially after Vikileaks was shown to be of their party's
invention. (Whether the Leader knew or not, you have to wonder if
Adam Carroll was the scapegoat for an MP.)
