just incase some of you are not able to access the video, this is what the CBC reporter says at the end of the story: "The Conservatives also invited the TV crew to interview a shop owner, she (the shop owner) happened to be the wife of the (Conservative) riding association director."

Latest...Tough Questions for Garth Turner
Caught staging a campaign stop, Garth Turner is now turning his outrage on us, for reporting it. In his blog he says he did not agree to an interview with Ormiston Online.

Here are the facts:
A CBC producer called Garth Turner, Monday morning. He identified himself as calling from CBC News. The producer asked if Mr. Turner would speak with Susan Ormiston and said we would call back from a studio to record. He agreed.

Ormiston started by saying we are trying to “drill down on the bloggers claims” , Turner responded “well I hope you are going to drill down on the kind of gutter politics that creates this crap”.

And later, quoting from the interview transcript:

Garth Turner: “It's one thing to have it on YouTube, you put this on CBC... ahh, I can't prevent you, and you can do it if you want and I'll do your little interview here.”

It is clear that Garth Turner was speaking to a CBC journalist and agreed to do so, and that he acknowledged the interview.

At the end of the day, Mr. Turner, in an email to CPAC, copied to CBC, still put the blame squarely on CPAC: “The bottom line seems to be that CPAC was informed, prior to shooting, that the home in question was that of the son of my associate.”

CPAC has categorically denied that claim. CBC represented both Turner’s position and CPAC’s rebuttal. You can see that story at http://cbcnews.ca/ormistononline.
