  1. no - the CBC is not state controlled... no matter how many times the trolling refrain continues to be brought forward! The CBC, per the UNESCO definition, is public service broadcasting made, financed and controlled by the public, for the public. It is neither commercial nor state-owned; it is free from political interference and pressure from commercial forces.

      no pressure from commercial forces? is paid advertising being banned from CBC TV now? I feel bady for their 'journalists', their daily scripts are written by the PMO daily now

      Meh, conservatives call not allowing comments or answering questions, 'controlling the message'. They feel a lack of information, transparency and accountability is a good thing. Knowingly providing false information on major election issues and outright cheating during the election itself is just good politics to them.

      To whom are you referring, I haven't blocked anyone. I do have two people on ignore which could mean they can't reply to me here.

      I don't reply to rude people who deliberately change names either.

  3. Face to Face With The Prime Minister... unscripted, 10 Canadians with diverse backgrounds, one-on-one, any questions, any issues... just like Harper used to do! And no Trolly... no need for selfies... it's carried nationally on Canada's national public broadcast station!

  4. Despite their swaggering bravado in claiming to "support the troops", Harper Conservatives have reduced defence spending to just 1% of GDP — the lowest level in Canadian history!

      My guess is that the government sees political value in trotting out statements of military idolitry but at the end of the day they recognize that Canadians would benefit more from that money if it was spent on other things.

      Now you know that Flaherty is getting a sound spanking over that. Ah yet another election promise down the tube, but I don't think it was on the script for the finance minister to announce the scam the day after the budget.

    3. The_Squid

      The_Squid

      The election promise of income splitting clearly wasn't thought out or researched. Not even the finance minister has looked into it.

      Sounded good... But in practice might be really stupid. Of course, most Conservatives are still for it.

      I guess they are now wishing they hadn't promised it back in 2011.

      Because many of the same people are involved in both parties. I guess you're not in Ontario so you don't give a flip. All I did was compare instances of political controversy. I didn't imply they were the same party. I think you protest too much.

      no - you're out of proportion; there was concern on how close ties with Wynne would be perceived... so the campaign chose to limit her direct involvement.

  10. the waldo would like to make a genuine offer of conciliation towards CPC supporters - we have hard work ahead and continued acrimony is self-defeating... please embrace the natural governing party of Canada in re-shaping our Canada - sunny ways!

      Harper is down 3 goals in the last half of the third. In desperation he throws in the third string goalie hoping it might spur on the rest of the team. In the actual political arena, what he doesn't realize, is just how far out of touch with reality he has become. Not hard to call the outcome of the game at this point.

  21. the ever vigilent waldo counters (from Snopes) MLW Shady member's, "Hillary Clinton Rape Defense Meme", status update. TRUE: Clinton reluctantly defended in a rape case involving a 12-year-old girl, successfully challenged mismanaged evidence and entered a plea bargain for the defendant. FALSE: Clinton did not laugh at the case's outcome, did not volunteer to be the man's lawyer and did not claim the complainant fantasized about being raped by older men

      from snopes: Portions of Clinton's sworn statement bore some resemblance to the meme. Clinton did state that the victim sought "out older men" and "engage[d] in fantasizing," but did not combine the two statements to say the girl fantasized about rape. Clinton also argued that children of that age tended to "exaggerate or romanticize sexual experience," but, again, did not say that the girl fantasized about rape.

      The girl did not fantasize about RAPE (snopes clarifies) but Clinton does call her a liar and accuses her of fancying older men (as per my comment earlier).
