I have yet to watch the video of the alleged Helena Guergis airport meltdown, but more people have since the days when Wayne Easter mass circulated an anonymous report of a spectacular hissy fit at the PEI airport. Weeks later Liberal MP Mark Holland referenced Helena Guergis "assaulting airport security" on the Soloman Show. Now that we know that the incident in question was not a meltdown of any sort and the video shows no fouls committed, I wonder if Mr. Holland and Mr. Easter will apologize for their mischaracterization of what actually occurred?
I know that pundits like Rosemary Barton enjoy musing about Helena suing the Prime Minister for defamation for removing her from caucus, but how about Wayne Easter for mass circulating a malicious false account of the incident. I don't recall the PM ever saying on national television that Helena Guergis assaulted airport security, but Mark Holland sure did. At the end of the day I think she paid a price for the indiscretions of her husband, whether that is right or wrong, it is what it is. I just remember the blank "I don't know" stare she gave Mansbridge when he asked about the cocaine the cops found on her husband.
Easter and Holland are now Helena's new BFF's.
ReplyDeleteWill Harper apologize?
ReplyDeleteThis whole story shows the massive mediocrity of our msm. First, they blindly accept the version of events from Lib MP Easter, who is spinning what he heard from an anonymous airport worker !
ReplyDeleteAnd NOW, after that worker has been shown to be a great teller of tall tales, the same media makes NO EFFORT to smoke him out ? Just think how much fun they could have, following Easter around with microphones, peppering him for more information ?
And the media wonders why they have such low credibility. The demise of these dinasours can't come soon enough.

PM Harper hasn't accused Miss Guergis of anything. PM Harper stood beside her throughout the PEI/Easter/ accusations. She resigned her post in cabinet and the CPC ejected her from the party.
The Liberals roll on the floor kicking and screaming that Ms. Guergis be punished. They get their way and then they roll on the floor kicking and screaming that everyone but they should apologize for giving in to them.
ReplyDeleteLiberals have no shame, no values and no integrity.
Ms Guergis has been slandered by Easter and Holland, which caused her to lose her job and reputation. She needs to confront them (as in sue their a**es off) before Harper should consider reinstating her.

I said this months ago when Easter first read the letter and claimed he was protecting the source.
ReplyDeleteThe press will run with any negative prop and fail to investigate sources for bias or accuracy.
Easter should resign immediately, Liberals who joined in should also offer their resignations for attacking her without any tenet of natural justice or rule of law.
Conservatives have reverse onus in Parliament and the media.
The liberal leader went on CTV, followed up by making allegations of organized crime.
He demanded the PM call them in his office to confess their sins.
The media joined in demanding the details of her mortgage on national television implying she had done something wrong.
The media and several MPs treated her like garbage without a shred of damming evidence.
They attacked her through her husbands misdeeds and have not apologized after the RCMP decided they did NOT have enough to move forward.
I don't know if the Ethics review will exonerate her completely regarding code of conduct for ministers.
This latest stunt was a POX on all their houses for wasting months.
They cried later they did not have time to review the big omnibus bill.
They sucked at making the right priorities on behalf of Canadians.
These 2 members of the LIEberal Scandal Squad are shameless buffoons.
ReplyDeleteWandering through life with them must be like living in a perpetual 'Twilight Zone'.
Sue their butts, Helena and make the others, INCLUDING the lying media losers, line up behind them!

Lieberals and their media are not use to saying they are sorry-it is a sign of weakness on their part. The liberals were not sorry when they stole from the public what they(Chretien) did though, was shove a golf ball in front of the screen.
ReplyDeleteIn other words- SHOVE IT CANADIANS you ain't going to see a dime.
Apologize to Helena?- Not a chance.
