I wouldn't be surprised if Layton leaked this himself. Its taken the focus away from his platform....which is on shaky legs to begin with. |
I don't know why people think Jack will make good PM. seriously. this guy reeks of charisma? i suppose compared to other leaders perhaps but I hate the fact that logic has very little place in emotional election times |

the only thing that scares me more then a Harper Majority is a Layton Majority. He has made so many sky high promises that are just impossible to keep. |

| it's stories like this that makes people not care about politics. What does this have to do with policy, or his ability to lead? There is too much focus on character these days and not enough on qualification. my $0.02. |

You can pretty much say the same thing about every candidate in this particular race. |

You can thank the launch of Sun Media TV; this is just the beginning of the Fox-style "reporting" that is going to come from their direction. |

NDP leader says he did nothing wrong
By MAX HARROLD, The Gazette May 2, 2011
Aye, but there's the rub.
In the final days of this election campaign, Jack Layton's opponents were left with throwing out a story about his having been to a massage parlour 15 years ago. The Toronto Sun reported that "Layton was found laying naked on a bed by Toronto Police at a suspected Chinatown bawdy house in 1996."
The Sun didn't name the retired police officer who provided it with its information. Layton was not charged with anything and was quoted in the cop's notes as saying, "I was just getting a shiatsu."
On Friday, Layton didn't deny getting the massage. He told reporters "absolutely nothing wrong was done, absolutely no wrongdoing."
It was a classic example of smear tactics, Layton added, the kind that has popped up in the current campaign, with few parties left unsullied.
"This is why a lot of people get turned off politics," he said.
So classic, in fact, was the Layton story that it was shopped around to a journalist in the final two days of the last federal election campaign, in 2008.
National Post columnist Jonathan Kay confirmed Sunday that he was approached by a Liberal Party insider with the same story on Oct. 12, 2008.
"I was shown a copy of a Liberal Party lawyer's Access To Information request seeking details of the massage bust - and I have retained that ATI request in my files," Kay told The Gazette on Sunday. Kay wouldn't say who the lawyer is, saying he promised the person his or her name wouldn't come out.
He said he didn't run with the story in 2008 because he couldn't confirm it.
"I have no idea who leaked the Layton massage story this time around," Kay said on Twitter. "But, if I had to guess I'd say the most desperate party."
Marc Roy, a spokesperson for the Liberal Party of Canada, strongly denied any Liberal involvement pushing the Layton massage story.
"We had nothing to do with the Sun story," Roy said. And "I was the official spokesperson in 2008. We had nothing to do with this then, either." |
