About time our media figured that out.<br /><br /><i>"The media had to pounce on this prorogation thing like he had just torched the Charter and spit on the flag."</i><br /><br />He pretty much did. This is an insult to the idea that we have accountable democracy in this country. Oh and I admit past Lib & PC governments have gotten us to this point, but Harper had to push the envelope that much further. I for one am happy the public sees what's happened, because the 'left-leaning' media was initially writing this off as a 'procedures thing' that no one would be interested in, and a 'win-win' move for Harper.Tof KWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756310841374198056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-49929072857550847842010-01-19T05:49:31.719-05:002010-01-19T05:49:31.719-05:00"...Afghan detainee issue that included Tom F..."...Afghan detainee issue that included Tom Flanagan..."<br /><br />Just one question: who's Tom Flanagan?Brad Dillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247350574583774744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-69362509426935095082010-01-19T04:01:51.939-05:002010-01-19T04:01:51.939-05:00Steve, you forgot the fact that the National Post ...Steve, you forgot the fact that the National Post has been completely delusional in their climate change denial.stone1343https://www.blogger.com/profile/07393468388166831570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-43147956651749367802010-01-19T02:04:06.559-05:002010-01-19T02:04:06.559-05:00"Who the G&M endorsed last election had m..."Who the G&M endorsed last election had more to do with the economy killing Greenshift and its author than a positive endorsement of Stephen Harper."<br /><br />Well I have posted a link to their endorsement here Tomm.

Solomone (an ambulance chasing law firm). <br /><br />You seem to be suggesting that Toronto's National Newspaper (G&M) and Toronto's other national newspaper (the Star) are the only two national paper's we need. <br /><br />Well, the National Post is providing a singular and important counter balance to the efforts of Upper Canada's best and brightest. <br /><br />I'm guessing you wouldn't cry if Ivison, Gunter, Steyn, Adler, Coyne and Rutherford all ended up looking for work. <br /><br />Without the National Post, Canadian's are missing an important daily which often includes fiscal and social conservative views. <br /><br />I guess you are just hoping that no one will ever write daily columns, stories, or editorials that supports the present government, its programs, policies or Ministers. <br /><br />You are just a paragon of fairness and balance.<br /><br />What would be your view if I called the G&M a ...kneejerk liberal rag ...outlandish bias ...its advocacy ... its unbridled liberal cheerleading ...a dangerous rag ...propaganda.<br /><br />Well, the majority of the G&M reporters are Liberal insiders, apologists, or supporters. The paper itself is insufferably southern Ontario centrist and treats the rest of us like some low IQ hicks hewing wood and drivin' truck in the territories. <br /><br />Getting a feeling for what you sound like?Tommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072854015300215347noreply@blogger.com
