I don't live in Quebec, therefore the Bloc is irrelevant to me and the NDP have no hope in hell of ever forming government except by the back door option of a coalition.

"You see, there is no election just yet and I ggy is holding his fire because if he issued a policy the policy bankrupt reformatories would simply steal it. Their lack of ethics being that appalling."

You mean the same ethics that JC and the gang displayed when they frequently took Reform ideas and passed them off as their own? Or the same ethics that Lester Pearson displayed when he used Tommy Douglas' idea of National Medicare? The Libs are hardly in any position to lecture about ethics anyway (Sponsorship Scandal anyone?)

If the Accidental Tourist wants to become Prime Minister, he must demonstrate that he has a vision for Canada, not just a lust for power. So far all he has demonstrated is that he can suck and blow at the same time, but not much in the way of substance.

gee brett, why do you want a platform from the Libs. Why not the NDP and the Bloc as well?

Perhaps they feel free to delete such references because the Harper government continues to demonstrate it doesn't give a rat's rosy red rectum about freedom of speech or fundamental human rights?

If the Tories are running “the most socialist economic platform since the 50's”, what platform are the Lieberals running on? Oh, that's right, they don't have one other than demand massive spending on stimulus, complain that it isn't happening fast enough and in the next breath complain that it is going too far. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Liz j hysterical…..you should be asking your own party why it exerts so much effort trying to suppress news from the PMO. The censorship practiced there would make Stalin blush. Harpo has his fingerprnts over everthing that comes out of there including all the lies we've been told. everyhing is stage managed by the PMO and does not get to us in a normal fashion.

Plus, you Tories are running the most socialist economic platform seen in this Country since the 50's.

Liz J. I could not have said it better myself. In Fact a lot of that went on during the 20 and thirties in Germany. And the uneducated masses swallowed it. We should get rid of both organizations. If someone broadcast something about someone, which is defamatory, he or she can always appeal to the courts. That is where such issues should be solved. Not in the cangeroo court of the CHRC.

Neither of these bodies belong in a democracy. They're havens for Socialistic zealots to interfere in our lives through intimidation. If the cases of Ezra and Mark Steyn don't scare the masses we're in more trouble than we know.

IMO, Socialism is best described by Sir Winston Churchill: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure,the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, it's inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery”.

The CRTC indicates it has “appended” the report. By definition, “append” means to “add on, affix, supplement, hang on, tack”. Perhaps, instead, they should have indicated the deletions in the report as “redacted”.

Both the CRTC and the CHRC are in the censorship business.

Because on closer inspection they realized Ez and Steyn were bullshitters?
