		<description>TVO did the same about a week ago. There was 5 guests on the show to talk about the U.S. election, but primarily Sarah Palin. 3 of the guests  were in studio, the other 2 were in Washington, via satellite. The 3 in studio were all women - former Liberal MPP Marie Boutrianni, Globe&#039;s Margaret Wente, and a Toronto Star columnist, whose name now I cannot remember. Of the 5 of them, 4 attacked Palin and clearly identified themselves on the left, with only one of the guests defending her. 4 on 1. That&#039;s fair.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Steve Paikin has lost all credibility. He should not be allowed to &quot;moderate&quot; anymore election debates. He used to be seen as a pretty fair guy. Not in my books anymore.</description>

		<description>another coward: &quot;I will be interested to see if this is picked up in the MSM.&quot;

Are you kidding?!! Not a chance. The MSM is coddling their preferred parties, wrapping them in cotton batten. They&#039;ll be looking for a whole new batch of fresh disaster in the CPC campaign and that will take precedence over any gaffes the Liberals, Greens, NDP, or the Bloc make. Hey, that&#039;s the Canadian MSM&#039;s main mission now: pile on the CPC, never highlight the positive things PMSH is doing, just report stupid mistakes and replay them over and over. 

Remember, though. PMSH has to govern the country AND run an election campaign. He&#039;s pretty good at multi-tasking, unlike the other leaders who only have to make life difficult for him and run their own campaigns. I think the Canadian public is getting wise to the MSM shenanigans--or are paying little attention. 

&quot;Steve Paikin is going to ask her about it tonight.&quot; So, Missy May is going to be on TVO&#039;s The Agenda tonight? I hope this means that The Agenda is going to give equal time to the other leaders or their spokespeople during the campaign. TVO/The Agenda&#039;s another media outlet that tends to pile on conservatives, usually 3 or 4 left-of-centre commentators to 1 right-of-centre one. I wonder who Steve&#039;s going to have on for balance tonight?

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Another coward&lt;/b&gt; wrote...

&lt;i&gt;&quot;What happened to the principles of democracy and free speech that the Greens were talking about earlier in the week. I will be interested to see if this is picked up in the MSM.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

The MSM hasn&#039;t picked this up, and won&#039;t if they haven&#039;t already. Used the search terms &lt;i&gt;Canadians stupid&lt;/i&gt; in both CBC and CTV news&#039; search box. To nobody&#039;s surprise, no results yielded.

BTW, love the new look of the site, Stephen. However, I don&#039;t like the new format too much, as it relates to &quot;replies&quot;. It&#039;s too confusing; too cumbersome to navigate. The main page reads (32 Comments) but when you click on it, you don&#039;t know where the newer comments are. They could be at the top, somewhere in the middle, etc. Wish you would change that, eliminating the &quot;reply&quot; as an option, forcing people to use quotes to post replies. It&#039;s just more symetrical, and easier to follow. Otherwise. Love the new look.</description>

		<description>Why is Bennett sending these emails? Anybody with an gram of sense knows that if you&#039;re going to send a letter threatening to sue, you go through a solicitor. Not only is it more impressive, but it prevents mistakes that can hurt you later.

Is Bennett a &quot;rogue&quot; green, or have the Green&#039;s gone loony? Or were they always loony?

		<description>I am not amused!

Seriously, though ... surely you saw this? 
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cyberpresse.ca%2Farticle%2F20080912%2FCPELECFED02%2F809120850%2F7068%2FCPELECFED

In addition to May&#039;s anti-Harper moves, there&#039;s Premier Williams&#039; ABC campaign. Nothing like anti-democratic moves to subvert our system by these two vaunted &quot;defenders of democracy.&quot;</description>

		<description>So  Ms. May made the mistake of putting the words &quot;Canadians are stupid&quot; and &quot;I fundamentally agree with that assertion&quot; in the same sentence.  A partisan blogger takes that statement and makes a YouTube video with pretty pictures highlighting what she has already said on public record.  The Greens don&#039;t like it. That is politics. No big deal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But the real story is the reaction of the Green Party now - falsely claiming the audio was doctored and threatening legal action against bloggers who post the video?????  What the hell???  What happened to the principles of democracy and free speech that the Greens were talking about earlier in the week.  I  will be interested to see if this is picked up in the MSM.</description>
