We've blogged about the incidents that were not published in the media, even those on public record and more, about Toews.
Then, there's Toews' violation of the Manitoba Elections Act. We've come to expect that PMSHithead will appoint lying, unscrupulous CONs to his cabinet, since he did appoint a felon as his minister of Justice.
The Winnipeg Free Press piece is instructive. Who would guess Toews has no impulse control, sending unsollicited, hectoring email blasts?
This is a politician who has become renowned among a small audience of Manitoba political junkies for sending out long, rambling, emails to his "supporters," in which he angrily attacks opposition MPs, journalists and anyone else with the temerity to disagree with him. As a regular target of these emails, I have never responded to the tortured logic or his tenuous grasp of the facts. He is entitled to have his say. If anyone asked me for a reaction to his rants, I merely directed them to take note of the time the emails were sent -- which more often than not was somewhere around 3 a.m. -- and then expressed my regret that I had written something that caused Toews to lose sleep.But that was before Toews discovered Twitter, a more immediate, pervasive and, we have come to learn, less thoughtful way of venting your most volatile thoughts the moment they burst into your skull. Toews slowly began to move from the innocuous to the abusive in his emails. He taunted the opposition, howled when they disagreed with him. When the opposition voted against a Tory crime bill, he accused them of helping child kidnappers. [...]
On Thursday, he alleged that NDP MP Paul Dewar, a candidate for the leadership of that party, was behind a campaign to exploit the details of the divorce file. This was based on the revelation that a provincial NDP staffer, who happens to volunteer on Dewar's leadership campaign, had examined the divorce file.Toews is now in full attack mode on Twitter, lambasting opposition parties for not supporting his bid to get a full parliamentary committee investigation of @Vikileaks and the Anonymous videos. [...]Unfortunately, this is where Toews lacks any perspective on his own tenuous place in the universe. If his reputation has been tarnished, it has been by his own hand as much as anyone's. His closest political advisers pleaded with him to stop sending overnight email blasts, which they viewed as conduct unbecoming a federal cabinet minister. Those same advisers can hardly be pleased with his stream-of-consciousness Twitter activity.
If tough journalists were intimidated by the minister's fury, imagine what it must have been like for a 17 year old girl. The former teenaged babysitter for the Toews family, who caved in to pressure from her employer and had sex with him, would well know how unpleasant refusing Vic's demands would be.
ADDED: a tweet from Errol Mendes reminded me that Toews, a swinish CONjob, once called internationally respected Justice Louise Arbour *disgraceful*.

Apparently Dewar's agent accessed the file on Febriary 17, then (as Paul Wells suggested on Twitter) he went back in time two days to get the Vickileaks thing started.
Good grief, Toews is coming apart. I'm trying not to enjoy it.
Had a young female blood relation end up facing a predator male 'father of the family' when babysitting. He actually arranged for her to show up when there were no kids or wife at home, just him.
Unfortunately for him, she didn't have low self esteem and weren't raised by no dumb bunnies, and fled before he could continue his predation. It ended in him enjoying visits from the local law.
But how many young women playing temp 'nanny' are being sexually aggressed by men like this? What sort of power privilege mentality does it take for a man to idly presume a young woman in their house, caring for *their* offspring, is sexual entertainment on the hoof, there just for his lust?
In the case of my own clan, the youngster was believed first and foremost as to what happened and the law were linked by friendship to the clan. What happens when a socially powerful man with influence over the law stalks a young woman lacking that?
Please, please, please... make this end in tears for Harper, Toews and the rest of their pathetic gang. And let it happen before the budget.
Amen to that.
we know the old saying, power corrupts & absolute power corrupts absolutely. Vic needs to go & so do the rest of these creeps.
Maybe this is why child predators will be sentenced to less time than grow op operators in the new "crime" bill.
Vic Toews, Canada's Minister of Public Safety has come out opposing anti-bullying legislation, claiming it violates the Charter Rights of religious people to bully gay people. In his view, religious rights are violated if even students create clubs to curb bullying. In his view, Christian students must not even in the gentlest way have their right and duty to beat up gays challenged. It is not as though religious bigots are being forced to join such clubs. There is no religious or constitutional right to beat up gays, any more than there is a religious right to beat up Jews, First Nations people or Francophones. Toews is more than derelict in his duty to ensure the public safety of all Canadians; he is deliberately fostering illegal violence. He must resign.
