Loose cannon loudmouth MP Pat Martin issued an apology yesterday which I thought you would all want to hear about in case the Star buried the story.
His direct quote is
Martin took no questions from the media following his statement. This is Martin's second apology. In March he apologized to an Ontario company Responsive Marketing. While the apologies are no doubt a lame attempt to reduce damages in a $5 million defamation suit at leastr they were made. This is more than I can say for many posters here who made just as outlandish and false claims over this issue, and in many cases continue to do so thinking that actually waiting for all the facts is unecessary behind the anonymity of their keyboards, brave little soldiers that they are.
Where did they bury it, page 3? Where did the other papers carry it? He does put his foot in it sometimes, but he does apologize when proven wrong, unlike the car salesman DelMastro.
Most members didn't mention companies by name, more so the collective.
The more full apology is a s follows;
"I singled out a private individual, Mr. Matt Meier, along with his business RackNine Inc. and I wrongfully accused them of being part of a conspiracy to commit electoral fraud," he said.
"I now know that the statements I made insinuating Mr. Meier’s and RackNine’s participation in an electoral fraud conspiracy were wholly and unequivocally false.... To my knowledge, neither Mr. Meier, nor RackNine, including any employees of RackNine, has ever been investigated for involvement in electoral fraud in the 2011 general election or otherwise."
"Racknine was merely an innocent intermediary, not a participant, in electoral fraud," Martin said Monday, adding that he was authorized by the NDP to apologize for similar damage publications on the party's website may have caused.
A little different as a whole than your selective edit.
