Harper toady House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer this past week ruled opposition questions about robocon out of order, saying that all questions “have to touch on the administrative responsibilities of government not political financing,”.

Peace, order and good government, eh?: Friday morning Robocon blogging
The Sixth Estate‘s crowd-sourced list of ridings where voters received “hoax” phone calls during last spring’s federal election campaign has now grown to 77.

The one thing that always amazes me about Politics, when you are accused of doing something wrong, and if you didn’t do it (ADScam, In and Out, RoboCon whatever) why not just lay your cards on the table and serve up the opposition parties a huge, heaping pile of SHUT

So Michael Sona has done what he was hired for and fallen on his sword to deflect blame from his masters. If you honestly believe a 23-year-old communications assistant for a failed CPC candidate managed to organize, fund, co-ordinate and execute the entire “robocall” affair, please write to me. I
