BACK ON TOPIC OR THIS WILL BE LOCKED

Shouldn't the other off-topic posts, like the ones mentioning adscam in a thread concerned with what a CPC canadidate said be blue-editted out as well?

You should also note my last post was made before I had a chance to read the warning.

Here's the full list.

Not a whole lot in the Prime Minister's own riding this time.

Well Eyebrock I posted this hoping for just such a response from the various cons on here and I'm glad to see I'm not disappointed. I didn't see any complaints, just agreements when OTI posted a blogger reporting that the coalition was still on the table because he got an "anonymous email from a Liberal source".

This is a conservative candidate and party member and no doubt the same people calling it a made up scandal would be having a wet dream if it was a Liberal got on camera saying that a conservative riding wasn't getting funding from a federal Liberal government until they voted Liberals. If that had happened you know full well there would be about a dozen threads, all of them deriding those corrupt Libs for pulling this.

In the end the video speaks for itself. Its one conservatives candidates testimony that his riding wasn't going to get money until they voted CPC.

Derby, I'll have this if the source was more credible. It's just not solid enough for me mate.

I wouldn't be surprised if this sort of stuff went on but let's have some better evidence than this.
With stimulus cash going to a municipality just east of me to the tune of $200,000,000, in a city without a single Tory in it, this blog is hardly definitive evidence.

Solid for what? The video says it was his opinion about his own riding not the country as a whole. By that alone it doesn't matter what other Liberal ridings are getting the funding because he is only discussing his.

If it makes you feel better I believe entirely that Harper is giving money to Liberal ridings, at least the ones where the vote is close and he can buy enough votes!

There's also lots of funding in the Maritimes and we all know that's not a big support base. There's no proof to this story.

The "story" as you call it is one CPC candidates videotaped opinion about his riding in particular.

I'm sure if it was a Liberal you would be just as quick to claim "no proof". Its not like this was an anonymous email. Those you accept as etched in stone gospel.

[EyeBrock]

Ok, I'm thinking about replacing my local CPC candidate.

I can reveal that we Tories are seriously contemplating the invasion of Libya, then Iran.

Those mad arab bastards have it coming.

I'm sending this right now to 'Muzzle'.

For I am a Conservative!

[ridenrain]

Since money is obviously going to non-Conservative ridings, I guess he was wrong.
Looks like the media was cheerleading for their favorite party without doing any critical investigation.

Irrelevant because he was talking about his riding

$1:

City TV's Richard Madan reported on Mr. Landon's rather startling admission -- not once but twice -- that the riding is not getting any money until it's no longer held by a Liberal. (John McCallum currently holds the riding.)

Other ridings getting money doesn't mean his is does it? Its his opinion about his riding, not other ridings.

[Akhenaten]

From the Liberal report

$1:

Four of the top ten allocations in Ontario for ISF were given
to ridings represented by Conservative cabinet ministers and
a fifth to the Prime Minister’s parliamentary secretary. They
received two to three times the average funding, despite the
fact that three out of the five Conservative ridings experienced
far below provincial average unemployment, including that
of the minister responsible, Transportation and Infrastructure
Minister John Baird (see table 3, below).

Table 3 - Federal ISF Announcements - Ontario Unemp
Party Riding Grants Minister Rate

1 N Windsor--Tecumseh $ 45,772,544 14.5%
2 C Carleton--Mississippi Mills $ 38,578,665 O’Connor 5.3%
3 L Mississauga East--Cooksville $ 34,471,612 10.1%
4 N Hamilton East-Stoney Creek $ 32,600,000 8.7%
5 C Oakville $ 31,733,333 10.1%
6 C Nepean--Carleton $ 30,421,998 Poilevre* 5.3%
7 C Niagara Falls $ 25,277,333 Nicholson 12.4%
8 L Guelph $ 22,176,163 9.9%
9 C Cambridge $ 22,053,267 Goodyear 9.9%
10 C Ottawa West--Nepean $ 21,260,001 Baird 5.3%
Average riding $ 10,738,229 9.6%
* Parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister

Again this works on the premise that Money going Ottawa West is only going to employ people in Ottawa west. I see that as a major flaw in their logic.

That's not what the title on the thread says, mind you the title doesn't even match the article. Did you make it up yourself and than put an opinion piece up as news?

Welcome to 5th grade. Don't expect him to add anything to any topic besides that.

I'm in a Liberal area and we have a handful of projects set and some even started....the money is going for jobs for Canadians as a whole, I'm not surprised it was made into a sad political game.

You are so biased your opinion is next to is worthless.

The title is as it is because that was the title of the Star piece and I quote what title they put.

Its just too bad that its your parties candidate saying this on video tape. Got a problems? Take it up with him.
