Charles,...

...are you available? I wanna marry you.

Yup. The "loyal" (Cough. Hack.) opposition is having a hay day. Except for the Libs, there's no need for any serious investigation or evidence. Just charge the Cons with "voter suppression", then declare the Cons guilty as charged.  Journalists, on the other hand, are being surprisingly level headed. Could it be they've actually detected which way the wind is blowing and have decided blatant partisanship in the media is "not good for democracy"?  Nah!! Can't be. Certainly not the taxpayer funded one, in any case:
"The Conservatives denied knowledge of the calls, which were traced to Edmonton call centre Racknine. What is clear is that the deed is not being taken lightly. When we polled readers as to whether punishment for voter suppression should be more severe, over 96 per cent of 3490 readers said 'Yes.' The vast majority of CBC Community members were outraged at the tactic and called for drastic action."
Oooooh. 3490 people out of a voting population of, what, maybe 24 or 25 million? And that protest in Vancouver, it had anywhere from 200 to 250 people in attendance. And what's Greater Vancouver area's population? In excess of 2 million. Not good enough, Libby.

Now, THAT'S not good for democracy.

I predict this will backfire on the usual suspects, big time. I can hardly wait.
