The Globe and Mail reported Friday that Mr. Kinsella and his Daisy Group consulting firm worked on a secret campaign to “seek and destroy” the fledgling People’s Party of Canada and keep Mr. Bernier out of the national leaders’ debates.

Internal Daisy Group records obtained by The Globe show a team of Daisy Group employees worked on a plan called “Project Cactus” that focused on portraying People’s Party supporters as racist.

The records make several references to a “client” for the project, including sending a bill for payment, but the client’s identity is not revealed in the documents.

A source with direct knowledge of the project said the client listed in the documents is the Conservative Party of Canada. The Globe is keeping the source’s name confidential because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

From: Scheer won’t say if Conservatives hired Kinsella firm to ‘seek and destroy’ Bernier’s People’s Party - The Globe and Mail

Mr. Scheer's already tenuous credibility could take a nose-dive if this report turns out to be accurate. He certainly looked like a deer in the headlights for the past 36 hours. Could this change the outcome of Monday's election?

Corrupt Liberals, underhanded Conservatives, unmanageable NDPers, the Bloc Québécois navel gazers and Maxime Bernier's den of thieves - the People's Party. Elizabeth May and the Greens are looking like a real alternative to me right now. By Christ, I'm uncertain how to vote now. If the Liberals would have dropped Trudeau the Younger, then I could have held my nose and voted for them. But Enbridge and Lavalin have closed that door while he remains. What's a centrist to do?

Cheers?
Evilroddy feeling lost in the political wilderness.

The only consequence I see coming out of this is maybe some minor splitting in Beauce but that is about it. The Conservatives did nothing wrong or even of any significance here, and that is coming from a Liberal.
