...so it's time for the liberal-left Opposition to stop making false accusations without valid proof, which they refused to provide. The Speaker has not found any evidence to back up the accusations.
Story here. h/t: National Newswatch
Milliken said the official record conflicts with unofficial observations as to what was said and gestured back on Oct. 19.
Well, when there's no valid, authenticated, professionally scrutinized audio evidence to back up the Opposition's unhinged allegations of certain supposed utterances, other than some tape provided by the Liberals, themselves infamous liars, which they never offered up for any kind of independent, official forensic analysis, then the Speaker, as a judge of sorts, must do his duty and dismiss the non-case due to lack of evidence... and lack of any credibility on the part of the unhinged Opposition, in my view.
Minister MacKay, the target of the malicious leftwing smear campaign, never wavered in his denial of any impropriety in the House on his part.
Shame on the leftist Opposition for refusing to grant Peter the benefit of the doubt (they grant that Maher Arar dude and all the Khadrs such benefit, after all!) and for throwing, for a political opponent, the principle of innocence absent proof of guilt into the garbage. (I similarly condemn the MSM for aiding and abetting this unhinged moonbattery)
"The remarks may or may not have been said, but it is not for the speaker to decide where the truth lies," Milliken said. "I regret that the chair can offer no remedy to the House. ... I must now consider the matter closed."
Why did the liberal-left Opposition wage this uncalled-for campaign, actually, uncaringly dropping all important matters from their consideration? I believe they did so in an ill-advised attempt to smear not only Minister MacKay, but also the entire Conservative government and Party as somehow "sexist", therefore hopefully hurting the CPC's polling numbers and future electoral chances.
Little wonder why so shortly following the very start of the moonbat campaign, I noticed an MSM poll claiming that support for the CPC among women had fallen, as if to suggest that all women were watching the whole thing and had nothing better to do than pay attention to a bunch of imbeciles braying about alleged doggy-related utterances and whatnot... in fact, I believe that if all women were actually aware of and were following the whole thing, they'd have been appalled, not at Minister MacKay, not at the CPC, but at the inanely unhinged moonbattery displayed by the very people they pay to do a real job, but plainly weren't and were instead playing partisan politics to the max, with all the standard liberal insignificant sound and fury...
The gender-oriented poll so conveniently released, and with its annoyingly cocksure headline, by the MSM is very suspicious and suggests to political observers that it's more evidence in the growing body of some kind of loose coordination or conspiracy between the left and the MSM, in which the mutual butt-scratching behavior has become automatic and nothing needs to be explicitly communicated either way to bring on such coordination or conspiracy. If this is true, then it's damning for the press, which is supposed to be free, independent... and unbiased and nonpartisan, but is justifiably suspect in this by millions of thinking Canadians, as well as Americans. There seems to be some kind of disturbing, almost symbiotic, relationship between the left and the MSM, in my view.
If anyone has been hurt by this ridiculous show of pure, unadulteratedly unhinged moonbattery, it is the Opposition!
Emphasis mine....
Former prime minister Brian Mulroney's chief of staff Norman Spector thinks federal Liberal parliamentarian Belinda Stronach is a "bitch." Speaking with CKNW's Bill Good this morning about Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay's refusal to apologize for allegedly suggesting Ms. Stronach is a dog, Mr. Spector said, "I think she's a bitch. It's as simple as that. And I think that 90 percent of men would probably say she's a bitch for the way she's broken up (retired hockey player) Tie Domi's home and the way she dumped Peter MacKay. She is a bitch."
Ooooh! That b-word is even worse than an allegation of a mere suggestion relating to the d-word.
Besides, when a man behaves the exact same way as did Belinda, he gets called a "pig" or perhaps even worse... but who bothers to scream "sexism" then? Who bothers to accuse the utterers of the word "pig" of "hatred of men"? Exactly! Double standard!
But guess what? This very clear utterance by Norm Spector isn't going to register on the Opposition's give-a-crap-0-meter, nor the MSM's. Why not? Because they really don't give a crap! They only gave a crap as they saw an opportunity to play partisan politics for their own political gain, to hell with pressing, critical matters which they had dropped to pursue the unfounded allegation like some insane, rabid moonbat pitbull...

I sincerly doubt that the leftist Opposition really cares anywhere near as much as they pretend about women, or about anyone else, or about anything at all... except themselves and their electoral chances and the financial and other benefits that flow from being an elected "representative" of the people (not that leftist politicians are famous for sincerely or meaningfully known for "representing" their constituents).
24 hours's Bill Tieleman, who was sharing the airwaves with Mr. Spector, took issue with that statement saying "I think you're taking a lot of liberty there. We don't know what happened in the Tie Domi case. We do know that she broke up with Mr. Mackay. And we don't call (Vancouver South MP) Ujjal Dosanjh or (Liberal leadership candidate) Bob Rae or others with names like that. So I don't think that's a fair characterization. I think it's fair to say you don't like her politics. And I don't either personally. But I think that crosses the line myself."
Excuse me, Mr. Tieleman, you know full well that if Mr. Dosanjh or Mr. Rae had commited udultery with a woman and destroyed her marriage and had strung along a woman only to cavalierly dump her as if a hot potato, causing great emotional distress, they'd get slammed with all kinds of bad slurs, including sexist ones. It happens all the time, and if you want to deny that it does, do so at the risk of destroying your credibility in the eyes of the public, who know I'm right on that. Therefore, unless you are a misanthropic sexist, it is, indeed, a fair characterization. Goes both ways, else there's a double standard. Your zipper is all the way down and your political correctness submission is sticking out, so please, lest you embarrass yourself further, please just kindly put it back in and zip up, sir.
But Mr. Spector later defended his use of the term, asking "Why is it unacceptable? That's what I think about her. I think it was much worse - a few years ago - when one of the Liberal members referred to (former Edmonton North MP) Deb Grey as a slab of meat quite frankly. I think that was totally unacceptable. But bitch is a word that I would use to describe someone like Belinda Stronach. It is a word that I use regularly."
Methinks the left is too bloody sensitive and political-correctness obsessed to the point of actual insanity!
And there definitely is a double standard between men and women in this society... and it's the fault of the liberal left and the left-biased MSM.
In Canada.
I didn't make this up.
Choose your Canada.
