Ontario election shenanigans caught on tape?? Yikes, this can't be good.

From Warren Kinsella:

And this ain't all: we've got footage of a certain Conservative lawyer - and employee of a certain discredited Toronto "consulting" firm - actually running to cover an Elections Ontario sign, as John Tory's bus pulled up. Sound like someone breaking the rules to you? Me too. Stay tuned.

For those of you who have been involved with a few election campaigns in the past, you know very well that this kind of stuff happens frequently (and people usually turn a blind eye).

Although, when it's caught on Youtube and it is an identifiable partisan or spokesperson who's involved, it's a whole different kettle of fish. The way things have been going for John Tory in this election thus far, don't be surprised if this dominates the airwaves in Ontario tonight, tomorrow and over the weekend. And to think, some people thought this elections was going to be about serious ideas.

Aparently not. Thank god for MMP.

Update

Just minutes after I published this post [above] on blogger, this video was found uploaded to Youtube. Doesn't take long for bad news to travel fast on the internet, does it?

For the record, as someone who knows that area extremely well and also workout in the Nepean Sportsplex gym for five years, the entrance you see in the video which leads to the polling stations (advanced voters) is not the entrance that the bus is pulling up to. There is an entrance which you can not see in the video, which is adjacent to the other entrance, and far enough away from being considered an interference to advanced voters I might add.

Furthermore, buses which pull up there for things such as hockey games in the Steve Yzerman arena (which would be right in front of the bus in the video), or other such things, usually pull away and park in the parking lot which is not part of that facility in the back (the Nepean Sportsplex parking lot is in the front). In other words, it's not like the bus stayed there either. Unless there is clear evidence that a so-called partisan worker pulled down that Elections Ontario sign (or physically covered it), this is much to do about nothing.

Carry on as you were.
