OTTAWA–The NDP wants the names of "any and all individuals" involved in the Conservative decision to record and distribute copies of a New Democrat caucus meeting – and it is threatening legal action to get them.
Because you know it's wrong to tape record a conversation that proves someone is full of horse manure... That's just un-Canadian...
Let's not talk about what was actually confessed in that caucus meeting: that the opposition has been plotting for a while to take power undemocratically.

ReplyDeleteYes, in fact it is wrong. Don't take my word for it, you should look up section 184 of Canada's criminal code:
184. (1) Every one who, by means of any electro-magnetic, acoustic, mechanical or other device, wilfully intercepts a private communication is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years.
Saving provision
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to
(a) a person who has the consent to intercept, express or implied, of the originator of the private communication or of the person intended by the originator thereof to receive it;
If the CPC member did not receive express or implied consent to record and distribute a private communication, they may be in an actionable position. I have a feeling they didn't receive consent.
"If the CPC member did not receive express or implied consent to record and distribute a private communication, they may be in an actionable position. I have a feeling they didn't receive consent."
ReplyDelete1) You really missed the point. Also that law protects the guilty at the expense of the innocent in my opinion.
2) He was invited to the meeting - Hence he was intended to receive the "private communication."
