The latest poll in popularity as of today at the Liberal Convention Harper is way ahead of Iggy. When people were asked who had the better vision of Canada, Harper or Iggy. Harper again won by a substantial margin. Keep on dreaming. The latest poll in popularity as of today at the Liberal Convention Harper is way ahead of Iggy.

The Bloc leaped on it and with the help of a more than willing MSM, they whipped the Quebec voters into a frenzy. So it goes.

You must be extremely jealous that Liberals can appeal to Quebecers in numbers that make the Haperites drool. Stupidity always comes back and hits you like a swinging door.

Iggy is not impatient to get into power as he knows the Harperites are well on their way to self destruction and a majority LIBERAL government beckons. The country will be cleaned up fiscally after that although you will obviously be changing your “depends” even more often.

There is such thing as “criminal negligence” which occurs when someone does something that shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other people. Whipping people into a frenzy you know or ought to know will result in them committing violence against an identifiable group could qualify. And of course, there are always the “inciting hatred” provisions.

On the other hand, in order to qualify this joke as a criminal offence, you would have to prove that the writer actually intended to counsel an offence – which in this case would be impossible to do. In this case, in order to establish criminal liability you must prove both the act and the intention to commit the act.

In any event, the only real place you would see a conviction in either scenario is on an episode of Law and Order.
