Miss Scarlett 25073 Report post Posted March 23, 2011 The only issue I have with this is Michael Ignatieff is trying to give all our resources to the US. He does not care about Canada and making our country better. Which is why he lost the last election! Next time vote Liberal.lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The focus seems to have shifted from the former escort to her her fiance which is about him lobbying for a certain group when he wasn't allowed to do so. I read an article online yesterday and it didn't even mention anything about an escort. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capital Hunter 18263 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 I am not crazy about either of them either but sometimes we have to choose between less of the two evils, so to speak. A majority conservative government would mean disaster for Canada and most Canadians. I believe that they do have a hidden agenda and they will implement that agenda, unopposed if they form a majority, one of which would be to make it illegal to hobby and punishable to jail time. Among others, massive cut backs to spending that affect ordinary people and tax breaks for the rich and wealthy and corporations. More fighter jets and prisons and less money for the poor, the sick, theelderly and people in need. More scandals and corruptions and less honestly and transparency. Vote liberals even if you don't like everything about them in order to prevent a majority take over by ultra right religious western Canadian alliance (former members of reform party appearing to have reformed into moderate rights) of this great country.

moonshine 399 Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Great. Now that an election is coming up we have 6 solid weeks to listen to under informed and biased political leanings. How painful that will be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tr*****e Report post Posted March 24, 2011 Vote NDP the lesser of THREE EVILS Hmm. I don't pretend to know my Parliament Hill, but after years of Harper, and years of Liberals saying how bad he is(they're probably onto something there), but not saying exactly what they would do in his place, I'm pretty inclined to not vote for either one of them. I'll be paying more attention to what Green and NDP have to say this time around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andee 220524 Report post Posted March 26, 2011 Back to the topic of the thread, please. Did anyone catch APTN's interview with Bruce Carson which aired on the APTN network, last night at 6:00 p.m. When the investigative journalists blindsided him with certain critical information regarding his fiance Michelle McPherson you could see he was struggling to stay composed. It is not pleasant to see someone's life come crashing down around them. I hope that we won't be reading anymore of those "poor Leanna" threads anymore. The parallels between this and the Darquise Johnson/Doug Macklem story are becoming more evident every time this story is updated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d*mm*y 887 Report post Posted March 26, 2011 The Citizen has posted a significant update to the story: Link to story Holly shit why would she incriminate her self like that, there is proof all over the internet that clearly shows that nearly every statement is a lie?? I am no politol guru but I think the Conservative master minds just found their fall "guy" I guess in this case fall lady. I think she is going to get roasted for all those lies. Additional Comments: Lets try to keep the broad stroke slander political comments off cerb, it's not choosing the habs or the leafs or the sens. Please get some education on the platforms and the leaders and their potential cabinets then go vote on election day. Let's stick to the candain way and maintain we have a right to a PRIVATE vote, it's not a show of hands. If anyone has proof from a major political party about their view on our hobby (i.e. strip clubs, massage parlors, agencies, SP's MP's, strippers ...) lets make a thread about it.

d*mm*y 887 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 Exactly. This could very well be the lynchpin right here, why the secret? I think the answer is with whoever actually ran the Leann and Friends account, some would refer to him as an agent and others a pimp take your pick.

I think I quoted the wrong thread someone earlier had said that Michael Ignatti (sic) lost the last election. But Dion lost the last election. I must have been extremely tired after work. Didn't mean to shout hit caps by accident. sorry.

Guest Ou**or**n Report post Posted March 27, 2011 Even though there are sentiments to close this thread I believe that there are issues raised that are worthy of discussion. First, for those that haven't watched the APTN clip, they allege even though Michele is engaged to Mr. Carson that she is seeing another man (the man in the shadows). The show alleges that she has been seeing him for some time, that he was her boyfriend before her pregnancy, that he was the father of her child and that he has regularly been at the house jointly owned by Michele and Mr. Carson. Members here believe he was also Leanne's 'handler'. They back this up by quoting two police reports when police were summoned to the house and they also claim to have personally seen him at the house as well as having seen him driving Mr. Carson's Mercedes. The interview implied that Mr. Carson met Michele in her capacity as an escort (even alluding that he is a member here on CERB). They also asked him if he was continuing to pay her even now. They based this question based on bank records in their possession. Even though they are primarily investigating whether Mr. Carson broke laws by lobbying as unregistered lobbyist withing 5 years of leaving government they are also implying that Mr. Carson has been a victim of Michele and her boyfriend. If this is proven correct then it is hardly 'poor Michele'. If it is not correct then it is illuminating to understand the public accusations being made against her. This is still a developing story. The other question raised in this thread is why APTN did not disclose the name of the alleged boyfriend. It is bleeped out of the footage shown. They may have no proof and wish to avoid litigation. Another possibility is that they describe that someone initially gave them the story along with a shoebox of emails and bank statements (and potentially photos). They have not disclosed who this person is or what relationship he has to the affair. To my mind the boyfriend and this informant could be one and the same. If not then there are two 'mystery' men.

PistolPete 61421 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 But you are right on the money with this whole statement below! There is more working out behind the scenes right now that is for sure, and yes her 'handler' and 'poor Michele' may have been swindling Mr.Carson, time will tell. But well said OutForFun!

Jabba 18389 Report post Posted March 27, 2011 I think APTN did a knock-out job for investigation, coverage and representing the truly human side of this story! This will definitely put APTN on the map. The raw footage is not a polished 60 minutes piece (and for that I am thankful - it lends credibility to the investigation). I am sure there are yet more details to reveal themselves in time. A really interesting story will eventually come out of all this. Please don't close this thread - way too important to dismiss.

mod 135639 Report post Posted March 29, 2011 APTN took images off that ottawaescort site and used them in the story. Problem is those images were stolen from escorts-canada.com by ottawaescort (EC does not own that site) the images CLEARLY show the escorts-canada.com copyright. The Toronto STAR contacted escorts-canada asking to use the images for the story and permission for using these images was denied by EC. No one from APTN contacted escorts-canada.com asking if these images could be used. This shows VERY poor journalism etiquette and I know EC has been in talks with the copyright lawyer over this. They had sent our cease and desist orders to the owners of this ottawaescort site (Along with a Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton site that were all stealing images and test from escorts-canada to use as content to these sites). I am sure they will be exploring further avenues with this infringement on APTN as well. One of the members on cerb (Lookingforfun7) apparently is claiming he is the reporter who wrote this story so we are helping EC look into this matter from our end as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
