I mistook the date for Wed.<BR/><BR/>And you are correct that his site crashed. I did not know it was hosted in Michigan how unCanadian of Garth, ;)<BR/><BR/>So the real reason he was turfed was cozying up to the Green Party. I gues the Conservatives just couldn't admit to that in public....EUGENE PLAWIUKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11736971647879996375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9311998.post-1161322451845630712006-10-19T22:34:00.000-07:002006-10-19T22:34:00.000-07:00Yet another justifies the purge of Turner because ...<I>Yet another justifies the purge of Turner because he used his position as an MP and his blog to promote Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party. He did, but only after he was purged.</I><BR/><BR/>Wrong. Turner posted his <A HREF="http://www.garth.ca/mptv/" REL="nofollow">video interview</A> with May on Tuesday October 17th, the day before he was kicked out.<BR/><BR/><I>That was why his office was being stripped and his online blogging was offline yesterday, as the caucus voted him out, the Party movers where cleaning out his office. You don't do that without the knowledge of the PMO.</I><BR/><BR/>Wrong again. Turner himself <A HREF="http://www.garth.ca/weblog/2006/10/18/holy-smokes/" REL="nofollow">says</A> that the reason his blog went offline was because of too much traffic coming in, <B>after</B> his suspension was announced. Furthermore, garth.ca is hosted in Michigan, so how could the CPC shut it down even if they wanted to? (And do you <B>really</B> believe that an MP's website would be hosted on his House of Commons office computers?)<BR/><BR/>I can also verify this via personal experience. As soon as I heard the news on the radio (around 12:30pm EDT, as I recall), I logged onto Turner's site, which was still fully functional. Within a few minutes, however, the site stopped responding, and eventually started giving a "Forbidden" error, before coming back up a couple hours later.The Invisible Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005831963271454530noreply@blogger.com
