It'll be interesting to watch this play out.
I'm amazed it came to this. I do like the timing though as it discredits the Liberal brand this close to an election. Although that didn't mean anything the last time when Wynne got a majority with massive corruption and police investigations hanging over her. Toronto would vote for Wynne if she campaigned from a jail cell.
Just did a quick check on Google News (typically a quick way to find out how quickly a story is being picked up by mainstream media). I am happy to report there is a bow wave on this one ... CBC, CTV, Globe & Mail, Sun
Of course it will be some time before this goes to trial. However as we all know it has everything to do with perception. If it is percieved there is enough evidence to convict then Lougheed will be found guilty in social media long before he ever sees a judge. One can only hope this causes significant damage to the Liberals in Ontario at both levels.
Now then, what does Wynne do? If she supports him and he is found quilty then there is an appearance of implication. On the other hand if she throws him under the bus she risks a mutiny. The others may turn over and spill their guts in the hope of negotiating a deal with the Crown prosecutor.
Interference,delay and obfiscation will be the order of the day from the Wynne Liberals. This will take months and months if not years to be wend it's way through the courts.Quote:

Ontario is the battleground and the NDP is not doing well in seat count here.
is this guy being charged not a prominent community guy and police office himself? I doubt he will ever be convicted in court but it's the election spin that matters. OPP contract negotiations must not be going well with Wynne?Quote:

I am so looking forward to 2018 when the next election comes. If Patrick Brown managers things properly (and I believe he will) they can kick the Liberals to the curb - maybe with so few seats that they don't even meet the criteria as a party.
Now then, in the near term we wait to see how the media soaks this up in the next week.
WOW, that didn't take long. Now trending as the top story in Google News. Everyone loves a scandal!
I wonder how this schmuck likes his view from "under the bus" !!!!!
I am wondering if Lougheed wasn't thrown to the curb in and under the bus in some kind of deal to save Sorbara?
Sun news said..."Deputy premier Deb Matthews could barely contain her glee as she confirmed in the legislature Thursday that Sorbara had been told by police that she will not be charged."
Oh I'm pretty sure he is the sacrificial lamb.....Wynn should be in the prisoners box beside him !Quote:

hit the road Jack. And don't let the door hit you in the hiney...
G. L. Jr. Could be facing 5 years if convicted...
The difficult aspect of this whole thing to understand is the fact that even after this offence was made public, the good people of Sudbury STILL elected a Liberal.....
Hard to believe people in the GTA bought her crap and supported/defended her elected her.
Not sure how they sleep at nught
They are a fashionable people, what could be more fashionable in 2015 than Wynne? They aren't big on substance, but style, well that's everything.Quote:

The best part was watching the honourable leader of the opposition standing up and asking for a resignation without a hint irony.
Sorry, don't catch your drift?Quote:

This well, its a whole lot different. This party/admin is beyond inept and corrupt, orders of magnitude that are unprecedented. There's nothing in the history of Canadian politics (prov or Fed) that come remotely close. Three separate and ongoing criminal investigations are just the start....Further, as a result the province is in the crapper. Beyond just soaring Hydro and taxation thats crushing just typical ordinary families (many of whom unlike her loyal Pets don't have it so good).
There's no money for infrastructure...check that, lets go right to the top...Healthcare (has you read press the past couple weeks from the OMA, or issues there)?, you know that thing we all, but especially the left like to "brag" about to the world..They've gutted it, there are huge issues, people...real working stiffs....who pay taxes for good healthcare.....Read this and weep or choke or gag, which ever one prefers.

The above courtesy of the Liberal Party, her pet Unions, their members and anyone that voted for them.
No money for much of anything, including their pet Unions (Education in particular). Thats irony. The dimwits that have spent tens of millions getting them elected again and again despite what was obvious to anyone with eyes, morals or ethics, as predicted were only shooting themselves in the foot.
That's "irony".
But mostly and lastly, Ms Wynne has her hands over everything, from the Gas plants, part of the trouble/problem as a Education minister, up to and including this.
And still, people...will defend her or vote for her.
/speechless at the irony, especially when you think about how the same hypocritical blind left, go ape ship crazy on the small things under Harpers leadership. That to is irony, almost comical irony, if it weren't all so true and pathetically sad.
Is Brown out of place asking her to resign?
Not remotely and theres zero irony, except perhaps from those who have and do defend, accept this admin.
LIEbrals don't break laws, and if they do, the retroactively change the laws so they didn't break any law.
Did anyone happen to see Andy Donato's cartoon in todays issue of the Toronto Sun? That about it sums it up,I'd say.
