Desperate
The top message was sent to my card-carrying Tory buddy Lee last night, in reference to the message below.
It speaks for itself.

Dear friend,
In the last day or two, you may have seen an e-mail message purporting to come from Conservative Party President Don Plett. This message is bogus; Mr. Plett did not send out anything of the sort. Radio CKNW in Vancouver has traced this e-mail to a server in St. Petersburg, Russia, and behind that to a Liberal-friendly source in Toronto. In the final week of the campaign, our increasingly desperate opponents are likely to resort to more of these manoeuvres. Please keep that in mind if you receive e-mail that claims to be from a Conservative source but doesn’t match your understanding of our party’s policy.
Hold the course and don’t get rattled by our opponents’ dirty tricks! Just one week to go till election day.
Sincerely,
Doug Finley
Campaign Manager

Dear Fellow Conservatives, These are exciting times. Here we are in the homestretch....on our way to victory in Election 2006! In just a few more days,our Leader, Stephen Harper will become the next Prime Minister of Canada! As your Chair, I want to thank each and every one of you for your work in bringing us so close to the victory.
During a campaign like this one, it isnot always possible or wise to speak about every detail of our plans. Don't be confused or upset by Stephen saying that he has evolved. After all,winning is the name of this game. When we form Government on Jan 23rd, be rest assured that we will not let you and your families down. As promised, all the issues that are precious to you will be dealt with. We will have thepower to get on with repairing the social fabric of this country andrestoring the Christian values we all hold dear. Keep the faith, keep up thepressure and God Bless Canada.

Bogus Email Sent Around Canada Implying Harper Has Hidden Agenda
Jan, 15 2006 - 1:40 PM
A bogus email being sent around Canada is implying Stephen Harper has a hidden agenda and will stick to his Christian values once elected as Prime Minister.
The email appears to be sent from Stand Up For Canada and claims to be signed by the Chair of the Conservative Party, Don Plett.
It thanks Conservative supporters and assures them that the party has to power to repair the social fabric of the country and Christian values.
Speaking exclusively on CKNW's Warren On The Weekend, computer expert and manager in the Justice Branch of the B-C Government, Nick Walsh, says he traced the email to Russia.
He says it appears to have been sent by someone trying to make the Conservatives look bad.
"It could be that it's an attempt by a foreign body to influence the Canadian election. Perhaps the RCMP are going to be interested in that. I don't know."
Conservative Party spokesperson Colin Metcalf says the email is not from the party or from anyone associated with the party.
Apparently it was routed through a Russian server after originating in Toronto.
