A Liberal Candidate runing for Parliament in a Winnipeg riding is catching justified flack after a column she wrote as a freelance journalist came to light. In the column, she claimed that the Mossad and CIA knew in advance about the 9/11 terrorist atacks, and that Jewish-owned businesses had gotten out of the Twin Towers before they were attacked: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canadavotes/story/2008/09/25/hughes-liberal.html.
I don't know what motivates these conspiracy theorist wackos, but there are far too many of them and they are far too prominent.

"In the Kildonan-St. Paul riding, former Liberal candidate Lesley Hughes was hoping to win as an Independent, but she fell far short. Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion had fired Hughes in September over an article she wrote six years ago as a freelance journalist, suggesting Israeli intelligence warned the U.S. in advance of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center.
Hughes was a distant third behind the Tories and NDP. Joy Smith won the riding for the Tories."
