As it stands now, everything demands an apology. A few months ago, I counted no less than 8 seperate calls for an apology during on Question Period.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-19401988892085706162007-11-21T18:26:00.000-05:002007-11-21T18:26:00.000-05:00I think the slur against Bains made in the spring ...I think the slur against Bains made in the spring was offensive and the liberals were right to demand an apology.<BR/><BR/>Other than that I agree with Ottlib. <BR/><BR/>I do wonder what is going on with the conservatives with this behaviour. Do they believe, as I do, that Canadians are going to start seeing Dion as being above their little partisan snipes so they want to nip it in the bud by trying to paint the liberals as bullies?Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-46801602628741719892007-11-21T17:47:00.000-05:002007-11-21T17:47:00.000-05:00I happen to agree with the idea that demanding an ...I happen to agree with the idea that demanding an apology for every little slight is silly.<BR/><BR/>It is counterproductive so Liberals should stop demanding them until the Conservatives do something really offensive.<BR/><BR/>Such a situation would be more likely because if the Liberals just roll with the punches history has demonstrated that this government invariably crosses the line. It gets cocky and steps in it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, that does not mean Liberals should not respond to Conservative attacks they just need to be more innovative in how they do it.ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.com
