Actually, for some reason, Mike Hardener dug this up from the 3 year old archives. I had totally forgotten about it.

Justin Trudeau, as a fully paid MP, skipped the House in session to go give some speeches to charities for extra fees. NO other MP on a full MP salary has ever done that, to skip the House in session to go give speeches for extra fees. Justin is a good draw for fundraisers (except the CMHA lost on the Justin event while Justin took off with $20,000 in his private pocket) while he ignores the job he gets paid for in full.

How much did the Liberal party pay for Mac Harb's legal advice when that Liberal senator was being audited? Oh, right, the media won't ever ask, and you don't want to know. That is reality for you. Selective as it is. Always.

There are so many silly people commenting it just makes one's head spin. Democracy has been hijacked but not by Stephen Harper. I have one question for you. Did you get to vote in the last elections, federal, municipal and provincial? If you did, then I would like to say that obviously democracy was not hijacked, your side just lost. I guess if your side wins this time all will be restored and utopia will exist.

Anyway, your tinfoil theories are a waste of everyone's time. Please post something substantial worth discussing instead of this constant stream of paranoia.

What about the $2.7 million the NDP owe? Will the CBC critique the NDP as harshly as they are the CPC? We need fair media, not blatant cheerleaders.

I wasn't being a character, so your theory is dead wrong.

There is no way he would be better. He has no clue.

So you would have no problem with Trudeau as PM? That says a lot.

Wowzers! looking back at this invigorating thread makes me realize how radical and out of touch I was. But everything I said especially about technology ere things I heard fro the educational establishment. Thanks to Mike Hardner for digging ip this 3 year old thread. I see my past is being heavily scrutinized by the scrutineers.

Or warn the people who blindly accuse of someone of being someone else when there is no evidence and no evidence presented. All it does is cheapen this forum.

Harper has to remain calm when it is 4 against one which included Paul Wells.

I feel there is nothing wrong with doing this. I appreciate a government taking steps to keep me safe. I have a problem with government raising taxes to pay for nonsense such as nationalized daycare.

Again, this publication panders to the radicals. Radicals are radicals....they have no regard for institutions. Better luck next time.

When is the next debate? I would like to see the Libertarian leader invited. Most Canadians don't understand Libertarian views.

Where will this happen?

I'm most disgusted at the CBC with regards to this trial.

The CBC's coverage is the most troubling. They're no different than a public sector union that campaigns in an election. At least public sector unions tell us were they stand and make no bones about who they oppose; there's no ambiguity there. I wish CBC journos would be as forthright and upfront. CBC should be barred from covering all federal election campaigns because of their glaring conflict of interest, standing to gain millions from the defeat of the CPC when the next budget is presented by Libs, NDP or a coalition of the two. With more funding for them, how could that not possibly colour their news coverage of this election??

I watched CBC news for awhile yesterday and was amazed at all of their journalists just frothing at the mouth in the hope that something bad would get pinned on Harper. I really don’t understand how this is considered a big scandal. The taxpayers lost no money and does it really matter who repaid it? Meanwhile the NDP are refusing to pay for the far more than $90000 that they stole from the taxpayers to use for partisan purposes and the Liberals never did repay most of the multimillions that went missing in the sponsorship scandal (now that actually was a scandal).

There is no doubt, that what has been going on in the senate is inexcusable. So why would they take up 90% of their time on the Mike Duffy trial instead of covering real election issues? So where did the biggest senate offenders come from? Oh let me see…….. maybe they came from the very same MSM corporations that are so high and mighty on themselves!!! Soooooo…….. What does that have to say about the integrity of some of the people from the MSM??? Makes me wonder how they can sit in front of Canadians and pretend to be so unbiased. What a bunch pompous twits!!!

I am sure that, other than Conservatives, everyone else changed the channel after 7 minutes of the trial…I can’t believe how they dragged this on and on for what seemed like 40 minutes, when the actual information content was so scant you would need a microscope to find it amid all the allegations and speculation (hence the gnat reference) and the ballooning of this gnat information into a scandal (hence the Camel reference). CBC and CTV didn’t even sound as though they went to the same trial…and comparing it to the Liberal scandal of the past was such a reach I wondered that Mansbridge’s nose didn’t start to protrude out through my TV screen. At the end I was wondering what really was so scandalous that doesn’t happen in every boardroom and political office around the world…and Trudeau having the temerity to question the judgment of Harper in appointing Duffy was SO RICH!!! This from the man who embraced Eve Adams as the next best thing to sliced bread and who endlessly entertains with his hilarious and inane gaffs…if he is one thing it is a source of embarrassment for the country, and, a source of entertainment, for the world…sadly. And the twisted spin they used to blame Harper for everything…for ‘CREATING THE MORAL ENVIRONMENT’ that caused the behaviour of his staff… (as if an employer can know what Tom foolery his employees will get up to next)…Has no one ever seen an employee who embarrassed his employer and/or who made poor judgments? And from now on we have to blame the employer?…then who is the head of CBC…He must be responsible for Jian Ghomeshi then and he it must be who ‘created the moral environment in which Ghomeshi worked’ as they say Harper did? I think NOT.)

When a NDP candidate comes knocking on your door, the first and only question that needs to be asked is “When will the $2.7 million be paid back to the hard working taxpayers?”. If he doesn’t turn and run and starts to lie his/her out of it, remind him of trespass laws.

Those of you who watched “At Issue” Thursday night, will certainly agree the panel – Andrew Coyne, Bruce Anderson, Chantel Hebert and Jennifer Ditchburn, looked like grade 4 kids who had just been caught stealing carrots from a neighbors garden. They were now trying to blame someone called Stephen Harper for problem. Did you notice, how the three (non-speakers) nodded their heads when one was trying to deflect their previous statements of “guilty” away from what Nigel Wright said under oath – the PM “did not know”. They never expected Nigel to be calm and collected. Their previous broadcasts always implied “Nigel will tell all” and this will be a prime news story. As it turns out, it is nothing but a Duffy show. Now all the media consortium can do is drag it out and smear.

Can’t wait to see Mac Harb’s face on my evening news every night while his trial’s going on. After all, if drop in the bucket duffy gets this much attention, Harb should go world wide on every media outlet, right? Right?

Only in Canada would a conservative bureaucrat be prosecuted for trying to help a politician repay money he ought not have received while, back at the ranch, a left wing radical politician is allowed to skate on MILLIONS that he and his party illegally took from public funds to spend on their own careers.
