Helena Guergis lied in her interview with CBC news anchor Peter Mansbridge when she told him she did not know the allegations that led to her abrupt departure from cabinet and removal from caucus, according to a series of Conservative talking points circulated to a select group of supporters and MPs...

"Ms. Guergis wasn’t telling the truth about not knowing the allegations," their memo says. "She was told the specific allegations by the party lawyer. Remember, she issued a statement after being dumped from cabinet saying she denied ’all of the allegations.’ How could she deny allegations she knew nothing about?"
