Green Party Candidate and EDA President protest at Bev Oda's office....

and the media (in this case owned by theTorStar Corp) leave out the direct ties to the Green Party of the 2 protesters.

Link to story at durhamregion.com with the somewhat cryptic " With files from Bruce Campion-Smith, Toronto Star" found at the bottom of the page. ( BTW Check out the picture; the arrows on their signs point the wrong way, LOL)


What the story left out:

Protester #1: Is Virginia Ervin, the "CEO Durham Federal Green Party Association and former GPC candidate for Durham.

Protester #2: Is Gail Bates, Green Party Candidate for Oshawa.


I guess they didn't think it relevant to reveal political ties when doing a political story.  Maybe it is something in the water but there seems to be a lot of that going around lately.

Does the GREEN PARTY know that their boss 'LIZ MAY'said
"CANADIANS ARE STUPID" that includes Green Peace workers like Gail Bates.

We already know the msm are stupid so that one, LIZ got right.

Another setup gone horribly wrong. (real conservative)

One would think that the Green Party should be rather upset that their affiliation wasn't mentioned either...

...unless they're embarrassed that only 2 people showed up to protest. I wonder how many people were supposed to show up to this round of astroturfing.
