A Liberal Party attack website aimed at NDP leader Adrian Dix was crafted by government employees at the B.C. legislature under the watchful eye of the Premier’s Office and a Christy Clark loyalist, a series of government emails reveal.
Launched by the B.C. Liberal Party in October 2011, the CantAffordDix website featured aggressive assaults on Dix’s character and unflattering photos of the NDP leader.
But in reality, the site was conceived and developed by government employees, who used a taxpayer-financed computer network to brainstorm the project and, later, to liaise with the B.C. Liberal Party even though this was a clear and serious theft of taxpayer’s time and equipment.
There is still no word on when the RCMP will be called in to investigate and lay charges.
