CBC declared Jamil Javani as the winner of the federal byelection tonight in Durham about 10 minutes ago.  They went to Javani's election headquarters at a Chuck's Roadhouse in Durham.  No reaction from the supporters gathered.  On the big screen they had CP24 on, so many in the crowd haven't seen any results yet.  Funny and sad at the same time..  

I thought it was hilarious when Greg Brady talked about this on Tuesday morning, indicating he'd like to have Jivani on, before noting "this may be one of the few radio stations he was willing to appear on!" He didn't explain why he said that, but those who know the history are well aware of the reasons. 

Also of note: CFRB has never once mentioned that he used to have a pretty high profile show there. If this were any other candidate without the legal baggage, I'm sure they'd be making sure people knew his background included time at NT1010. 

poor pierre.  now if javani is not made deputy leader and finance minister it will somehow be racist...laziest sob i have known

That old friend appears to be another embarrassing plague rat.

I expect amusing things to occur when this cunning political strategy fails miserably.

The downward spiral continues for the party/supporters of "the unhinged" ..  

It was interesting the day after the byelection that Tom Mulcair former leader of the NDP commented on Jamil Javani's victory on CTV News Network's Power Play.  He mentioned that he knew Javani personally and had been on various radio programs with him.

He was complimentary and called Jamil a breath of fresh air, and said the margin of victory was impressive.  However he did say that Jivani would need to keep within party policies if he hoped to have a future in politics or to move up within Conservative party.

Vashy Kapelos, the host of Power Play also did mention that Javani was a former employee of Bell Media, that that he was suing the company for alleged wrongful dismissal and that the court case was pending.

Boggles my mind how so many ridings in this country could put up an unconscious, lab rat as a candidate (see Alberta, Sask and much of rural Ontario) and people would vote for it based on the colour of its election sign.

Could it be these voters believe that a bad Conservative is better than any Liberal. Likewise most 416/905 voters are just the opposite. A bad Liberal [Justin] is better than any Conservative. While PP could win the next Federal Election, possibly with a majority, I predict the majority of the 416/905 ridings will still be painted Liberal Red.

If a bad politician of any stripe is better than a decent one from another party then you're a fucken sheep that votes for colours not for someone who will represent your community and its needs properly.
