OTTAWA – Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae says one of his staffers was responsible for a series of anonymous Internet attacks aimed at Public Safety Minister Vic Toews.
Rae says the offending staffer has resigned and he is extending a full apology to Toews.
Two weeks ago, Toews came under attack on the web over his sponsorship of an Internet surveillance bill.
An anonymous Twitter user dished out salacious details of the minister’s divorce proceedings.
An effort to track the source pointed to an origin within the Parliament Buildings. Rae says the Twitter user was a member of the Liberal research office.
