So by now we all know the WE scandal is all fabricated , well most of us do , and its headed to the office of the ethics commissioner. The Conservatives love that idea b/c it gives them yet another avenue to own the Liberals and split the vote. . #cdnpoli .../1...

Remember that the Cons don't care about their own ethics violations , water off a ducks back for them they've had so many , but they know that their Media friends will push any negative ruling to the limits of faux-outrage and question a favourable one. #cdnpoli ..../2...

In addition the Cons know that progressives (many of them ) also see a ethics violation as a bad thing and there's the rub , the Conservatives get to create a narrative that splits the vote. Then there was Mary Dawson's ruling on the PM's Bahamas vacations #cdnpoli ..../3....

... which made absolutely no sense , it wasn't based on facts or rules , it was a personal opinion. The ethics commissioner can make a ruling one way or another without any real justification. That person has the power to hurt a sitting Gov't & that should not be. #cdnpoli ../4..

IMO , no matter what Mario Dion's ruling it really has nothing to do w/ anything. Personally I'm upset that the opposition are playing partisan games w/ the prospects of 35,000 students for party over country. #cdnpoli ...5/
