As the "Robocall" controversy continues I think I am starting to peace the puzzle together here. I remember hearing about these calls right after the election, but they were (as they should have been) passed on to Elections Canada for investigation and prosecution. However the recent activities going on in the House Of Commons, such as bills being passed in which the opposition lives up to it's name and vehemently opposes, or limits on debate for the sake of progress, seem to indicate to me a level of frustration within the opposition parties that would make use of a scandal to try to question the validity of the 2011 Election.
Yes you read it correctly, I am implying that the opposition parties are possibly colluding in a fraud against the Canadian people through false information and newly acquired outrage at a scandal which has been under investigation for some time now.
I think the greatest indicator of deception towards this scandal is the bluster and outrage that both the Liberals and NDP are putting forth in a seemingly collaborative effort to discredit the Conservative Government. This appears to me to be nothing more than a political scheme to create (as one blogger says “
more anti-Conservative fearmongering”), albeit the fact that these calls were obviously fraudulent and must be investigated and prosecuted, it seems evident that the Opposition parties are trying to whip up a frenzy over the issue for an obvious purpose, a by-election (or even further a completely new election). I also question the newly rising numbers they are claiming, which started at 18 Ridings, then to 27 Ridings on February 25
th, then 34 Ridings on February 27
th. Again it seems to me very convenient, and I think they are probably manufactured to make the issue seem worse than it actually is (typical politics).
There have now been accounts brought forward of
calls byConservative center employees (anonymously of course) who said they were “forced” to make these calls, despite their objections to the supervisory staff, and calls to the RCMP. You have to wonder what kept these poor people working at doing something they thought was wrong, and why they continued even when they disagreed with it or knew it was illegal? Yeah, I'm calling BS here too, mostly because the timing really makes it smell like the Opposition tactic to thicken the plot, but also because I think no honest citizen would continue to do something dishonest just because they were told to “stick to the script”.
There have been
Conservatives that have received “Robocalls” too during the past election, now granted it appears that none of them fell for it, or they had the presence of mind to verify the information.
But let's touch on something else; It was not only the Conservatives who would have benefited greatly from these misleading calls, the Orange wave stood to gain as well, and being an the overlooked third party the spotlight usually glanced right over them. This is especially true when you note that there are
more Conservatives which have received “robocalls” too.
So far my hypothesis has the same weight as the evidence given so far in this “scandal”, I may or may not be correct, but there are other logical options when proof is not required.
