The author and a conservative source both overheard a confession from someone at a bar. That’s not really solid evidence in my opinion. They weren’t even willing to name the people who made the confession. Name them and force them to respond. Get some video from the conference proving they were in attendance. Do some kind of investigation. This just feels like half a story.
CBC is reporting this as fact, not an allegation - it’s safe to assume that they know exactly who these campaign workers are.
There are also decent reasons not to name them just yet - if they’re low-level staffers, it’s worth trying to get a comment from the Party first, and/or try to determine how far up the ladder this goes. No sense in scapegoating the grunts until the higher-ups are ID’d.
Aah, now that’s a different animal. People run their mouths off at bars all the time - who was it, what did they say, what’s their association to the party, did they just shoot their mouth off about it, or did they actually do it?
If it’s true, it was a massively stupid move, if not, maybe take McKenna’s sources with a grain of salt in the future. She’s pretty solid, but that’s an awfully bold claim to make based on jocular taproom banter.
