Which party controls the ridings which were affected by robocalling? Could Conservatives lose their majority?

I'd be surprised if any Torie were to be removed. Most likely, they'll just receive a slap on the wrist and a small fine. This isn't their first voter fraud allegation.

Robocall, F-35, bunch of minor issues. Much less fiery than I expected.

Oh, and Rae told the House that a Liberal staffer was behind Vikileaks, then apologized to Toews.

I bet that staffer will be on the Liberal Party Strategy Team in, say, three months.

Previous investigation focused on Guelph.

I'm glad it won't be before or during the leadership convention.

This is the worst week we've had since the coalition crisis 4 years ago. Hopefully the budget clears the air a bit.

Tories are having awful damege control.
Today, they said than the fraudulous calls were from Liberals, not them.

A bit hard to believe.

Yes, but it's not implausible that two or three thumping by-election losses will rattle the CPC caucus' confidence in Harper's leadership style, which could lead to the first serious leadership crisis he has faced.

Harper message to MPs: Please don't die on me!

Typical of the Unique Conservative Party. You dare to say the truth about their neopotism, you are sued.

Our Quebec bench was wiped out when Cannon and Verner lost. Unless Bernier manages to rehab himself ASAP in the next 4 years... not looking good. Pelciquistes have the best bench. The Hill Times had a lot of nice things to say about Paradis in their latest issue. Then again, they also really like Vic Toews.

All that said, I do agree that it's nepotism.

I just want to add than I'm sorry for using unfair words. I do think than the Conservative Party is committed to democracy.

I'm just very frustated by their antics of the recent weeks (C-30, the calls, that). It's just way too much and make me quite annoyed.

But I don't think I should contest their commitment to democracy.

EDIT: Honestly, it thinks it is because our political climate degraded so much in the last weeks. I suppose you will all agree with me on that.

Let's just say that the Purgatories in a majority government have performed beyond and above my wildest nightmares of what such a majority government for them would be like.

Well, the Tories are more committed to Senate reform than the Liberals
