Elections Canada made a media “circus” out of a raid on Conservative party headquarters, inviting an opposition camera crew to observe police officers carrying out the raid, Tory MPs complained Wednesday.

The Liberals laughed off any suggestion that they were tipped off in advance of the raid, which appeared to be continuing Wednesday, saying they sent a videographer to the Tory party offices after seeing the event unfold on a television news network…

…”I do find it odd, when I look at a photograph this morning and I see someone knocking on the door with cameras, with news cameras present,” Flaherty said as he left a Conservative caucus meeting on Parliament Hill.

“And to see that there were Liberal party people in the hallway, I find that very strange indeed.”

A videographer hired by the Liberals was present as the raid was carried out, alongside numerous mainstream media camera crews documenting the incident.

Now who are you going to believe?

Stephen Taylor - Something isn’t right about the RCMP “raid”. ‘Catherine’ in comments says:

Stephen, maybe someone should correct Garth Turner’s statement on Mike Duffy live, where he stated the CPC “stole” Canadians tax dollars.
