The only one who believes Grewal

I have to be the only one who actually believes Grewal, and believes he's the target of a Liberal smear campaign. A man does not get involved with the right wing Canadian Alliance, then when they merge with the Progressive Conservatives brings his wife on board and then thinks about ditching ship. He had more than ample opportunity in previous times, so why now? Maybe Grewal was less than saintly with these recordings, but somehow I have to question the main stream perceptions of Grewal.

Apparently most Canadian disagree with me:
A poll by Decima Research said 25 per cent of respondents sided with the Liberals, compared to 23 per cent who said they believed Grewal.

"It has not worked as an effective attack on the Liberals," said Decima's Bruce Anderson.

That statement isn't very smart. First that type of information is a little more complicated than Bruce Anderson leads on.

Unfortunately, as I could see from the beginning, the Liberals span away at this story. First they were blameless and never made any offers. Then they started to claim that the tapes were altered and were no better than cheap fabrications. Canadians saw it all unfold on the news. And the media let them get away it.

And let's not kid ourselves here that's exactly what the media did. If the tables were reversed and it were the Tories getting caught on tape doing the exact same thing they would have been hung out to dry.

  1. I don't trust the poles. I refuse to believe that Canadians are that apathetic that they see corruption and look the other way.

  2. I can't get over the massive yawn over this one -- and the reverse accusations that seem to have traction.
    Cheers.
