Latest Liberal attack!

Officially Screwed.com:

... a huge breaking story is hitting the wires about a televised debate phone in interview show on the Shaw Cable network for the riding of Saskatoon-Wanuskewin. During the debate show, a caller called in and accused Conservative Candidate Maurice Vellacott of sexual assault on a church secretary. Vellacott immediately asked for the name and number of the caller for legal action and they had an idea of who this person was. I didn't catch the name, but it was in the news brief. When they ran a reverse lookup of the number, they came up with the Liberal campaign headquarters of Chris Axworthy.



I suspect we'll hear more on this. VERBATIM: From Vellacott's statement on the matter:

Tuesday night on Shaw Cable, a caller phoned in falsely accusing front-runner Conservative incumbent MP Maurice Vellacott of sexually assaulting his church secretary at North Park Church. The technicians who have no 7 second delay cut the call off. Vellacott responded quickly by looking directly into the camera, stating to the technicians that he needed to get the name and phone number of that caller for defamation proceedings. After the cable show ended, Vellacott was handed the requested phone number by Shaw Cable producer Gracie Field. Upon arrival back at his campaign office he was told that a person had reported in and was 100% confident that it was the voice of George Laliberte. The caller maliciously and falsely accused Vellacott of being “removed from North Park Church because you were charged with sexual assault” on his church secretary. Laliberte is a friend of Chris Axworthy’s and apparently owes Axworthy some favours. When the ... number provided by the Shaw Cable staff member was dialed, it was found to be Chris Axworthy’s campaign office phone number.



Needless to say,

Vellacott has never been accused by any woman of sexual assault and was never a Pastor at North Park Church or ever in attendance there.
