"But neither did Ms. Clark do anything wrong. In fact, in the hurly-burly of a closely fought election campaign, she handled it well." 

Ms Clark allowed her team to suggest Ms. Higgins was an NDP plant, without evidence. Unacceptable.

Ms Clark did not offer a personal apology to Ms Higgins for this misrepresentation when her team abandoned the NDP accusations, nor did she offer one on behalf of her team. Unacceptable.

Ms Clark is quoted as saying “She [Ms. Higgins] said she didn’t vote for me last time, she’s never voted BC Liberal and she never will and she’s not going to vote for me again."  Ms Higgins did not make those comments. To suggest she did is unacceptable.

The Globe and Mail's editoria starts and ends with Ms Clark's inital response to Ms Higgins. To touch on that aspect and not the clear mistruths spread by Ms Clark and her team about Ms Higgins is unacceptable. Does the editorial board not know how to read?
