Yes it looks like she meant something different with that

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'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's fair.

Steve Paikin has lost all credibility. He should not be allowed to “moderate” anymore election debates. He used to be seen as a pretty fair guy. Not in my books anymore.

Say folks,

She starts off by referring to politicians and then, aren't the actual words — “…..think Canadians are stupid.” And then she eagerly states -her- agreement with that assessment.

So Ms. May made the mistake of putting the words “Canadians are stupid” and “I fundamentally agree with that assertion” 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't like it. That is politics. No big deal.

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.

TVO says the clip is NOT doctored and they will not be seeking legal recourse but Ms May said "They" not "I". As to what assertion Ms. May fundamentally agrees with -that appears open for debate - Steve Paikin is going to ask her about it tonight.

She clear says “they think Canadians are stupid”, but, the issue is she says that she agrees with THEIR assessment. “and I fundamentally agree with that”.

I have a high end Dell Laptop with a high quality set of speakers and May said I, no we. I double checked it on the TVO audio file of the panel discussion. Either way, May shot herself in the foot going after a blogger over it. Pretty desperate in my book.

Bravo Stephen! The green party can kiss my gasoline loving, free speach speakin', Alberta living backside. These leftwing/communist idiots are the greatest threat to our beloved Canada since the last ice age. Elizabeth May has shown her true colors which is to take our money and move us into sod huts, and you had better not say anything or she will sue your ass…Keep up the good work.
