Oh yeah, he works for CBC.

I wonder if Mr. Mercer is going to have as much as a passionate rant bout NDP allegations of Election fraud in Scarborough by Tamil Tigers as he has for Robocalls?

Yes that would be an, appropriate move.

This was why DJ was put in as Governor General by Harper to begin with. With his man in office King Con can do whatever he wants, including running this country into the ground.

Sorry if this double posts:

Most of the commenters are treating this like a party issue, they are saying "it's time we take down the Conservatives", or "We don't need an investigation, you Lib/NDP people just want our seats". Personally, I believe in an old rule called "Innocent until proven guilty". I don't know if it's the Conservatives who made the calls, Liberals, or NDP... or if it was some independent group who wanted to promote their ideas through the Conservative party.

I just want an investigation so that justice can be carried out against the people who manipulated our election system. I don't care if that investigation comes back and reviles that it was my party that made the calls... because if that's the case we deserve to be punished for it. There should be no "fall guys" the person who was responsible and all the people around them who knew must be charged for their crimes.

Furthermore, it's clear that the elections were not fairly carried out. It doesn't matter who mislead the voters, there were a significant number of voters who were suppressed and that means that a bi-election should be called in each of those riding. If the Conservatives were not responsible for the voter abuse and they won fair and square then a new election will have no affect and they should not be nervous.

This isn't a party issue, this is a Canadian issue.

I love Rick. He is the best.

Good rant Rick but it looks like we aren't going to get to the bottom of this. Someone knows who is behind it but no one's talking.

Another CBC "CHICKEN CANNON" fiasco, time to pack it up, Rick....
Younger generation, is ready to entertain.

Good luck with that. The Governor General, before he was appointed GG, is the guy that prevented the inquiry into Brian Mulroney from asking any questions about the Airbus affair. Stephen Harper famously said of our GG's job in limiting this crime investigation, "Whatever we paid him for this, it wasn't enough". Then, surprise surprise, Harper himself paid him not long after with the Governor Generalship. So, unfortunately, it's rather unlikely he'll call for an investigation into the Conservatives.

Using illegal actions to try & influence voting & or win seats in an election should be viewed as seditious behavior.

We need only to look at a 'Majority' Gov't hobbled together by less than 7000 votes to see what election tampering could possibly do, or the influence it might have an a Country's domestic & Foreign Policy initiatives.
A fraudulent election or an attempt at such an event is a crime against the state.

Who ever operated this RoBo-call Scam is guilty of sedious behavior for they would of had to encourage fellow citizens to plot against their own Country & & it's democratic principals for their self interest. Of this there can be no mistake & therefore no reason for not following thru with prosecution if & when those responsible are caught.

For God's sake not that rant again. It was old and tired last time and even more so this time. If only he had some humour in his blood.

Stick to TV because politics is not your forte.

I though Cherry already donated it to science, that why he function the way he does, brain dead. The big question is how honorable GG David Johnston is? Do not forget he was ask to be GG by Harper.

Excellent rant! If voters decide that voting is useless and those wishing to suppress the vote get their wish, who would benefit - the Conservatives. Why, because they do not do well at the polls with higher turnouts. Truly the perfect crime.

So I'm curious bolshevik brethren, where is your evidence the Conservatives had anything to do with these calls, (and by proof, I mean actual CREDIBLE documentation/recordings/witnesses, not just random opinions, heresay or Bob Rae's blundering rants, since I realise the definition of prood is something your type seems to struggle with so very much). Unless you and your loony, leftist lot can provide any real hard proof that our PM or any members of his government had any involvement in this affair, I'm afraid to say that you're only spreading more lies and slander to suit your own agendas.
