The entire "pot-head" angle to this story is admittedly funny but its 2013 and lots of politicians have admitted to self-medicating. Humourous? Absolutely. But not entirely a career-ending move.
What is pathetic and damning is fabricating stories about political endorsements. In the past two days since I posted my blog, MP Lois Brown has tweeted/ re-tweeted 10 different items. None in support of Wolk's claims of an endorsement from her. In his hour of desperation, she has left him to sink under the weight of his own falsehoods.
No, MP Lois Brown is neither willing nor able to toss Wolk a life-line.
Wolk has spoken to media about Michael Sona being treated unfairly by the Conservative Party. The media, Elections Canada, and now the Canadian justice system believe Michael Sona was criminally involved in election fraud but Wolk claims that someone higher up in the Conservative Party is responsible and Sona is only a patsy. What proof does he have to make these allegations? I don't know. Has he gone to the police with this proof? Again, I don't know. I suspect that he was simply running his mouth off without any knowledge about the affair. No wonder the local conservatives are shunning him because he is so toxic to the Conservative Party's reputation. And he expects Lois Brown to endorse him?
Backing Sona is a career-ending move. Conservatives will never forgive the alleged perportrator behind the Pierre Poutine/ Robo-call scandal because it calls into question the legitimacy behind Stephen Harper's historic election win. The CPC did not need election fraud to win a majority. If proven true in court, Sona's actions will put a huge black mark beside the Harper legacy. Wolk's ill-informed defense of Sona only serves to undermine all the good work that local CPC volunteers, supporters, and contributors did to get MP Lois Brown re-elected. There is a political price to be paid by Wolk for defending Sona and the shunning by local conservatives that he is currently experiencing is well deserved.
Wolk doesn't like my anonymous blog (despite the fact that he wrote a blog a couple of years ago in support of the anonymous posters who viciously attacked former Aurora Mayor Phyllis Morris). He would like the public to ignore this blog because it is written anonymously. What he doesn't do is address any of the concerns I raised about him. Never once did he refute or explain any of the points I wrote about. He won't because he can't. Therefore he attacks.
What is even more pathetic is Wolk's determination to continue with the 2014 Regional Council race after being exposed. In addition to lying about MP Lois Brown's endorsement, there were so many wild (but entirely false) allegations made by Wolk over the past 4 days that entirely disqualify him from public office. Examples include the allegation that Councillor Di Muccio writes this blog. That is a lie. Wolk has been told it is a lie and yet he continues to repeat it in hopes that someone (anyone?) will believe him.
Yet, why would anyone believe him? And if you can't answer that question, then ask yourself this next one: Why would anyone vote for him?
