A part of the culture

Bob Rae blames the Prime Minister for the robocalls.

Rae said the real blame for any election trickery rests with the political culture Harper has created in the party. "The prime minister has created a Nixonian culture," Rae said. "This stuff doesn’t happen unless the boss lets it happen. He has allowed to seep into his party and into his organization a culture of attack and, frankly, a culture of deception and dirty tricks, where almost anything goes."
