-- OTTAWA -- The NDP says it may pursue criminal charges after the Conservatives covertly listened in, taped and distributed audio of a closed-door NDP strategy session.Holy crap... what's the deal here? Is this another Watergate break-in kinda deal?
NDP Leader Jack Layton can be heard on the tapes boasting to his caucus that he had prepared scenarios to bring down the government with the help of the Bloc Quebecois before the Conservatives issued their recent economic statement.
Well... not exactly...
An unidentified Tory was “invited” to participate in the call, said PMO spokesman Dimitri Soudas.Yeah sure, Jacko... we're gonna let you drive the bus.
“Maybe the invitation was meant for the Bloc, and they accidentally invited us. We were invited.
When you get invited somewhere you have the opportunity to choose to participate or not participate.”
In your dreams.
