And you maroons wanted a minority government?


OTTAWA - Ontario Provincial Police will not be laying charges related to the leak of police information last week regarding Toronto Police finding NDP Leader Jack Layton naked in a Toronto massage parlour in 1996.

"There were no grounds to support laying charges against anybody," said OPP Insp. Dave Ross.

OPP launched an investigation at the request of the Toronto Police Service after the story broke in the dying days of the federal election campaign.

The entire story was based on the notebooks of a former Toronto cop that Toronto Sun reporter Sam Pazzano was allowed to see.

"Certainly there were interviews conducted, records reviewed," said Ross.

It took less than a week for the OPP criminal investigation to run its course.

But the former cop who spoke with Pazzano will not be getting his notebooks back.

They've been turned over to Toronto police.

"That's where they rightfully belong," said Ross.

Layton's 1996 encounter with police while he was a Metro councillor had remained secret until last week's story.

While Layton was warned about the notorious reputation of the Chinatown massage parlour as a bawdy house, he was not charged in the incident.

Layton's wife Olivia Chow has said her husband did nothing wrong and simply needed a massage.

Jim they will speak if that happens and we'll go too far the other way.. Might take two goes.. Especially the reality of the new world economy and especially if US keeps fading... unless C's do something about oil and NG for export east and domestic consumption... So 10 years out .. will be interesting ..

The PCs felt the wrath.. the Bloc felt it the Liberals are tenuous... Union Nationale felt it... It's what we do when pi$$ed off enough.. Americans could take a lesson :O)

OTOH... I'd like nothing better than for Harper to pull the party to the centre.. and give us some stability.. He said he will not reopen the abortion debate.. personal feelings aside.. that just might indicate that Harper get's it./.. Canucks want some fiscal conservatism... but don't mess with social issues... or the few the couple of things that really set us apart ... one being health care... What he does there is going to be crucial to his future...

I see Andrew Coyne saying what I have said.. :O)
