SamStranger Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I can't believe how great Harper did last night. He had Layton sobbing in the corner scared to respond. He had Martin grasping on straws and forcing him to make up policies on the spot (removal of the notwithstandingclause) He looked like the future Prime Minister of Canada yesterday. Almost like Mulrooney. Strong. Bold. Ready. He took on every issue with poise and stabillity. If I were to vote based on their performance, I would give Harper a 9.9/10. Everybody get ready to welcome our New Prime Minister. Come january 23rd, welcome to office Prime Minister Harper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honest Politician Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Why is it going across the TV screen " Experts say there was no clear winner in last nights debate." Try another channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimmy Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hahahahahaha Conservative TV CTV = Conservative TV? Given CTV vice-president Charle Bird's close ties to the Liberals, that's kind of a silly claim, don't you think? -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 In all honesty, I thought the one who did best was Duceppe. Martin stumbed a few times, Harper presented as too greasy, and Layton too stiff. But there was clearly no winner as such in my view.

It seems like the only guy who brings up conservative gaffs is Duffy. Did anybody else see him read off the Conservative response to the debate minutes BEFORE the debate started. They already had it written and were slamming Paul Martin for being negative, before the debate had even happened. Why wouldn't the CTV employees be pro-conservative? Their tax dollars pay for part of their competion's salary. Something that would likely disappear under a pro-privatization conservative govt. I am not saying it is a company policy, more of an individual perspective that is given to most stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 He looked like the future Prime Minister of Canada yesterday. Almost like Mulrooney. I think the Conservatives should play that up as much as possible. Nothing can possibly go wrong by comparing Harper to one of the most hated PM's in history.

I am not saying it is a company policy, more of an individual perspective that is given to most stories. CTV Newsnet's format-- short-cycle headline news format-- is specified by the CRTC, and Newsnet is not permitted to devote more than a small portion of its broadcast schedule to anything other than headline news. (read about it here: http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decision.../db2005-131.htm ) In otherwords, if you want indepth analysis of the election, you're watching the wrong channel. Newsnet's government-mandated 15-minute "newsreel" format means headlines... and the Liberal gaffs have been headline-grabbers. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dog Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Actually at the time it was "Her " party, and it was Kim Campbell. I'm aware of that. I'm also aware the Campbell never stood a chance: Mulroney wrecked the P.C.s as a political force in this country and pretty much set the stage for a decade of Liberal dominance.

shoop Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I am not as big a booster as Sam, but I think Harper did as best as could be expected. He didn`t lose any votes, and did enough to keep the momentum moving in his direction. btw how weak is your stomache that *spicy* lasagna could make it churn? sam please no jokes ! we're in the middle of a serious election. my stomach was already churning from last night's spicy lasagna, and now you made it worst. like i say my friend, dreams are for free !
