no this is NOT an endorsement or show of support for this group. rather, i would like to say that there are several Canadian politicians, ( i will look for the names), that support these conspiracy theories. people running in this federal election, people working in government. they have a rather wide and diverse (Liberal, Conservative, Republican, etc.) following.
UPDATE: one name found: Libby Davies, NDP MP. read petition demanding re-examination of 911 events. signed by just 500 canadians. why did she read this?

It's sad because it discredits the people. For those of you who know me, you will know that public transportation/urban transport is HUGE on my list of what I would like to see improved in cities and regions across Canada. If Mr. John Doe were running in such and such an election in my riding, and promised to lobby/procure more funding for public transport, i would be ecstatic. if that same Mr. John Doe claimed he supported the beliefs of the 911 truth group, then i would not vote for him.
its become sort of the "in-thing" to do for some disenchanted youths in ottawa's downtown core. they canvas passers-by, offering them dvds and pamphlets. they (or someone) spray paint and mark up newspaper boxes with "911 was an inside job" or "911 = inside job". anyone who has ever walked down metcalfe will know what i mean.
and the question is why? why do they believe this stuff? and why now? i gave the dvd they handed to me to my roommate and he watched it. said it made some good points. this is the same guy that frequents one of the local gentleman's clubs simply for its "awesome buffet".
politicians, and canadians in general, need to be a little more saavy. we are better than this. we as a country can make progressive, rational, and reasoned decisions. we have people to house and feed, a manufacaturing sector to rebuild, a green economy to invest in. let's move forwards and leave conspiracy theories like this by the wayside.

Libby is the MP for my riding. She doesn't believe in these conspiracies - she just believes it's a duty for MPs to present petitions from their constituents - even on issues they don's agree with - unless the petition has racist or discriminatory content.
