The Tories have confirmed that the email we reported as a fake, was indeed just that. A bogus email coming from St. Petersburg, Russia and before that, from a (more than likely) Liberal supporter/loose cannon. Below is a snippit from an email from the CPC Campaign Chairman.

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.

Put your helmets on, I think someone is ripping out the kitchen sink at the Liberal campaign HQ.
