1. An IP address from Hydro Quebec starts prowling around.
2. Dipper astroturf starts showing up in the comments section of any post that mentions just about anything, but especially anything related to Dippers and elections. They are all anonymous and all follow a generally similar series of lines about Dipper Ryan Cleary and Grit incumbent Siobhan Coady.
So far - and this is like some provincial Connies – the comments have been about on the same level as 9/11 truthers.
When the Grit and Connie astroturfers start in with their counter-strikes, this next federal election could look like a trip to the multiple personality war at the Waterford as Anonymous goes after Anonymous for something Anonymous said.
And people wonder why I think Alice in Wonderland is such an apt source of metaphors for local politics.
