It was clearly a late election hail mary attempt to undercut Jack Layton and the NDP.
An anonymous police officer with an axe to grind against a troublesome anti-poverty activist now trending to become the leader of the official opposition comes forward 15 years later and the Sun laps it up. Jack Layton is a well known exercise enthusiast who went to a city licensed therapist for a massage and was surprised when it was raided by the police. No charges were filed, Now fifteen years later the Toronto Sun tries to use this innocuous incident to smear a popular leader of a party experiencing surging support with days to go in a tight election.
This kind of irresponsible scummy political manipulation and sleaze shouldn't be consequence free. Join the new facebook group Sanction the Toronto Sun for Electoral Dirty Tricks to show how you feel about this kind of partisan manipulation. And here's the link to the Ontario Press Council's complaint process.
