If the ears don’t deceive, Conservative David Tilson, in between growling, just quoted one Robin Sears pontificating on Elections Canada’s investigation of Conservative election financing. Now, surely that’s not the same Robin Sears who wrote a piece for The Globe just days after admitting little to no knowledge of the matter.
