I remember about 2 months ago reading about the double standard and secondary revised rule book. I think Steve J had some posts on it and possibly a search on blogging tories will find it there a few pages in….I’ll do some digging later today and post the link if I can find it. There are definately though 2 different standards or sets of rules being applied…

WCT – There sure is a lack of ethics in that ‘Ethics’ committee.

I agree with Jack. The day the taxpayers fire Szabo will be one to celebrate.

But he doesn’t bore me, Jack. He infuriates me.

…”when suddenly we are back to the ethics committee”.

Nothing interesting about it at all. I’m not even watching…Szabo bores me to tears. What I am looking forward to is seeing the taxpayers fire him.

Now that I will report!

Interesting that we were having an enlightening discussion on “the value of life and it’s religions” when suddenly we are back to “the ethics committee”. Maybe there is a link after all??

Just a comment and not a “Comment”!

Thanks Joanne. During the Ethics Committee, the CPC were attempting to raise the issue of the two versions of the guidelines when they were promptly shut down by Paul Szabo. I began reading blogs on MSM looking for someone who may have picked up on this issue. Could find nothing, so in order to get it out there, I began blogging myself. Thanks for the link.

Kathy, those are really good questions. I wasn’t aware of the two versions. If you happen to dig up any more info on this or related links, please update us here. Thanks.

I am going to change topic for a moment. Re Ethics Committee. I will summarize what I have posted on MSM sites.

There is no doubt in my mind, after watching two days of Ethics Committee on CPAC, that there exists a clandestine relationship between the LPC and Elections Canada. Interesting Paul Szabo had to make a side deal to get Mr Myrand to appear at the Committee.

I agree with comments indicating this ’stunt’ may backfire on the LPC. The LPC and Paul Szabo have inadvertently handed the CPC evidence to support the CPC claims of Liberal bias.

Of interest to me is the criteria applied by Elections Canada in their audits. It is my understanding that there was an Elections Canada guideline book in effect for the 2006 election and it was used by all parties. Following the 2006 election, Elections Canada revised the 2006 guideline book. The revised guideline book was to be used in all subsequent elections.

Question: Which Elections Canada guideline book did Elections Canada apply to the LPC, NDP and The Bloc?

It is also my understanding that the CPC were audited using the revised (second) guideline book; the book to be used in subsequent elections not the 2006 election. Was the CPC the only party audited using the revised guidelines?

It’s even simpler then Politics…it’s basic human instinct vailed in politics regarding wars….but it takes the Charisma or Fanatisizm of a leader to drive it to a frenzy and a scape goat like religon to lay the blame on why we go to war. Religon is the easiest excuse to use as a rallying point that the average joe relates to … honor your mother and father, be kind to others, do on to others, an eye for an eye seems to always creap in, and people can be motivated to do something that they would normally be morally opposed to do or they would avoid at all costs.
