Doesn't really matter.
IF somehow evidence shows that Lukaszuk was being a jerk then he looks bad having a confrontation with a 67 year old pensioner with asthma and liver failure. I'm not saying that's what happened just that this is politics and the court of public opinion is what counts here.

Again I don't know what happened but Lukaszuk mentioned in the article that he likes to door knock houses with opposing lawn signs so that he can talk to anyone else in the house who may have different opinions. Maybe the guy answered the door, told him to piss off, Lukaszuk said I want to talk to your wife, guy tells him to get off his property grabs his sweater and shoves him back then it escalates? Pure speculation but then that's what we're all doing. Makes as much sense as the guy opens the door and starts swinging.
I doubt that the police will say anything so we'll probably never know.
