As Canadians say, very different from the U.S. So why wouldn't we have followed the OJ trial just as much as any other country. The OJ trial was covered by the international media. If we didn't follow it, that would mean we lived in the backwoods wouldn't it? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

On Guard for Thee Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Ah right. So in my post "country" not being defined by the descriptor Canada, was not a proper noun, therefore not needing capitalization. Do I have that right? In any case, informal is OK by me. Quote

Argus Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 And now, if we can get back to the actual subject. Margaret Wente had a column in the Globe which I think mirrored what a lot of people are feeling vis a vis Harper and Trudeau, and pointed out the truism of what Mulroney said, ie that Trudeau's major platform is he's not Harper. A lot of people are just sick of Harper and his mean-spirited ways, even those who voted for him. So what’s the problem with Mr. Harper? Is it the Duffy affair? The militant foreign policy? The highly dubious tough-on-crime agenda? No, not really. It’s just … him. He’s too controlling, too snarly, too mean. He picked a fight with Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin. He sounded callous about murdered native women. It’s not the policies or even the scandals – it’s the tone. They just don’t like the guy. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-debate/will-we-roll-the-dice-on-the-pretty-boy/article20647540/ Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley

Mighty AC Posted September 19, 2014 Report Posted September 19, 2014 So what’s the problem with Mr. Harper? Is it the Duffy affair? The militant foreign policy?

He sounded callous about murdered native women. It’s not the policies or even the scandals – it’s the tone. They just don’t like the guy. I mostly agree. Though his attacks on the environment and democracy are bad enough, Harper's mean spirited, dictatorial persona make his actions appear worse and the anger and resentment linger. A Reagan or Clinton type wouldn't come off nearly as bad, even with the same record.
