Blogging and the Canadian Political Scandal …

Uncategorized

“What’s written in the far, dark reaches of cyberspace is often more permanent — and damaging — than you think.”

Serious reminder of the power of the internet in this Toronto Globe and Mail story

Michael Klander’s downfall from executive vice-president of the federal Liberal party’s Ontario wing followed an on-line avalanche of condemnations over nasty remarks made on his Internet web log. Klander compared NDP candidate Olivia Chow to a chow-chow dog under the heading Separated At Birth on his blog, which has been taken down. The blog also referred to NDP Leader Jack Layton, who is married to Chow, as an “asshole,” among other offensive remarks aimed at other officials and party politicians.

Maclean’s columnist Paul Wells, who pointed readers to Klander’s remarks on his blog, doubts political parties can make any moves to curtail blogging. “You can’t police the blogosphere. It’s part of its charm,” he said.

“You have to trust people not to be silly. Or ignore them when they are silly or call them out when they’re silly and affiliated with a political party.”
