Just so everyone's clear, here (II)

According to the latest David Cochrane CBC radio report on the St. Barbe affair – sadly, not (yet?) online – former president of the PC Party, Paul Reynolds, who is now Chief Electoral Officer, has justified, at least in part, his decision not to investigate the 2001 by-election because – paraphrasing Cochrane’s paraphrase of Reynolds – the people of the district have twice seen fit to re-elect the MHA who was first elected in that by-election.

Memo to all past, as yet-undetected, violators of the Elections Act, and to all future violators of the Elections Act (at least while former president of the PC Party, Paul Reynolds, holds the job): as long as you win, it’s OK to cheat.

Go big or go home.

However, former president of the PC Party, Paul Reynolds, has yet to clarify whether this rule — call it the Reynolds Rule — would still apply in a case where the MHA was re-elected twice by voters who knew, before they voted, of a potential breach of the Elections Act.

Seriously: Just when you think Dannystan couldn't get any more Dannystani, it does. AGAIN!
