Deep breaths, Stephen.

Gah!

OMG, where to start, gotta get over the SHOCK before commenting..

I was in the civil service for 30 years. Being non-partisan when I was there meant you were supposed to be Liberal.

I would load up the civil service with loyal Conservatives as quickly and as unabashedly as possible- pausing only to make sure each appointee is competent and loyal. Harper should have started 3 years ago, because if he made appointments every single day while in office, for as long as he's in office, he'll never get rid of all of the Liberal hacks Chretien & co. stuffed in there over their years. If you want the government to behave in conservative ways, make conservative decisions and interpret laws in conservative fashion, (which is what the election was supposedly all about) then you need hoards of conservatives in the trenches to do your bidding. Mike Harris faced what was called “MAD” while in office in Ontario from his partisan (NOT PC) bureaucrats – Maximum Administrative Delay. He was elected overwhelmingly (two times – Mike Harris was never defeated) to carry out a clearly-articulated agenda – one the civil service and their unions vehemently opposed. They successfully stalled much of what should have happened during those years until it could be rolled back by big labour's largest ally – Dalton McGuinty. Harper should clean house at the CBC very simply – by privatizing them and selling off their assets. Make them beg for money just like PBS in the U.S. They will still be hard-core conservative-hating left wingers, but I won't be paying for their blatant bias. The CBC's core supporters, the ones who would willingly write them a cheque at the pledge break, are miniscule in number – far less than all of the tax payers of Canada who now unwittingly fund their Harper-hating day-after-day campaign of leftist propoganda.

'The Western Arctic riding is held by New Democrat Dennis Bevington,
who has been the territory's MP since 2006.'
2008
NDP Dennis Bevington 5,669
CON Brendan Bell 5,146
LIB Gabrielle Mackenzie-Scott 1,858

Well, maybe that will split the vote and the cons will have 2 out of the 3 Northern ridings….???

Western Arctic riding

NDP Dennis Bevington 5,669 (elected 2006 and 2008)
CON Brendan Bell 5,146
LIB Gabrielle Mackenzie-Scott 1,858

Silver lining…this may split the leftie vote and Cons will then hold 2 out of the 3 Northern ridings,
oh, and time to appoint Conservative supporters to the CBC, to hell with being nonpartisan.

hmmm, thought the first one got lost….

stephen, please tell us how you reconcile Harpos accountability act with your blog?

Remember of course that the Libs never passed any such act because it would be a phoney deal as we've seen from your leadership.

terry1, How do you look at your entitled self, in the mirror?
Your question is laughably arrogant but then so is every statement I have ever seen you post.

Un-bloody- believable the lack comprehension you exhibit.

bec, if its arrogant please explain the dicohtemy of stephen's writings with Harpo's accountability act that says all appointments will be non partisan.

I think your comprehension of harper is blinded by the fact you don't want to see his lies for what they are

I've heard that the CBC may move its headquarters to the West Block if Iggy wins the next election.

Let the partisan appointments flow, this latest recruit from the CBC has just taken away any chance for the Liberals to start ranting on about them. In fact it's long past time for the PM to get the appointments rolling.

Iggy himself is not catching on with the people. He has to do more than just present himself as not Dion and lecture. He is in fact employing the same tactics as Dion, threatening an election, then backing down. Laying low for the summer makes no sense for someone who has serious intentions of attempting to bring down the government this Fall. He needs to have real issues which he has not. He needs to present alternative policies that would be better, he has not. He cannot claim to do better on the economy, that's being well managed by the Conservatives. The AECL file was not taken care of by the Liberals, repairs were not done when they were needed by the Liberals, no gains to be made on that file. EI is another no gain for them. The only issue for them is selfish, a grab for power for power's sake. No issue to run on worth $300 million for the fourth election in five years.

It's about time the Liberals grow up and realize they do not have a Divine right to rule and respect the peoples' choice to govern. Get on with being an active opposition instead of playing politics at a juvenile level , shooting cheap shots from the boys in the bunker. We have examples of that from trolls on our blogs and some have spilled over into the wider media. It's proof of the situation, they have nothing of substance to put forward.

The Ipsos-Reid poll is the one which makes the most sense given the present situation. Much to the chagrin of the Liberal operatives, most of us didn't just fall off a turnip wagon. We require more than a name and a face, Ignatieff can't just present himself as Liberal leader without policy alternatives and explanations as to why they'd be better for the country.

Politics is about more than writing a get to know me book, pledging true patriot love of country. Those are two givens, one would expect anyone running for the top job would do everything possible to make himself known to the people by getting out and about among them, it takes time. He needs more time to make it or break it. Love of country should not even have to be mentioned but in the case of Ignatieff, there may be a reason for some doubt since he hasn't spent much of his life here. The title of his book tells us he realizes that.

Liz, you just poroved you are a joke.

1.Iggy has caught on with the liberal grass roots as he has raised more money in six months than any other party including the one in power which should be heads and shoulders baove the rest in fund raising. You will see the real Iggy at election time. That's when it counts and please tell us again how popular Harpo is after three years in office.

2. the libs don't have a divine right to govern but they have a right in a minority government to call the bluff of the party in power who are doing nothing but creating deficits and playing populist games. We are a country not a religious nut bar society.

3. Iggy's love of country is proven by his willingness to step into the political limelight and fight for his beliefs. the reformatory garbage is a bunch of lies and stupid innuendos.

4. The recent Ipsos Reid poll has even been discreited by your own party which shows you have reached the desperate stage yourself.

“Iggy's love of country is proven by his willingness to step into the political limelight and fight for his beliefs”

Whew – I must have laughed for 10 minutes non-stop at that one. If you really believe that, you are the most gullible creature to ever have roamed this planet. Unless you are just joking. Either way, it is hilarious. Thank you for my daily laugh. That is just too funny.

Just do yourself a favour and SHUT UP . That comment is as pathetic as it gets. When you have a run down of Iggy's beliefs, please post them, along with his vision for the country. Your idol in the bunker hasn't provided much beyond the usual screed either. People who run for high office usually have to present more than a face.

east of eden……….idiot comment

” … all appointments will be non partisan.”

I guess my beef would be with the PM for having made such a statement.

There's no such thing as a neutral appointment in government, unless you've got a neutred hermaphrodite in mind.

C'mon. You can be fair and not appoint just individuals in your own party (the LPC knows nothing about this kind of fairness — or “equity” or “tolerance,” language they like to shove down our throats) but there's no such thing as being politically neutral, totally non-biased, when making political appointments.

I'm with the posters who are advising Prime Minister Stephen Harper to be “smart” when it comes to appointing civil servants; he could at least try to balance the overwhelmingly Liberal ballast in the civil service — which my father always said was neither civil nor service during Trudeau's reign. Now's the time for the CPC to really play hard ball, for the sake of all of the taxpayers of Canada who haven't exactly been well-served by the tax-and-spend Liberal$.

To change the metaphor, put on the gloves, Mr. Prime Minister, and fight for ordinary Canadians who have had next to no voice under the Liberal hegemony. We've been taken to the cleaners for far too long by the LPC, who are still playing down and dirty politics with Iggy, their parachutist carpetbagger, and usurper-in-the-wings Bob Rae.

Fairness in political appointments means more c/Conservatives in the ranks.

Well said! Well said!

Bat B, that post is a civilized approach.

One exception is the fact mulroney appointed as many cronies as he could get into jobs duirng his 8 years in office. The libs then did the same thing. The americans do the same thing.

its the nature of the game. However, your leader did say he wanted to take all partisan appointments out of the PMO and have them scrutinized. He ha snot only FAILED TO DELIVER THAT PROMISE he has resorted to partisan stuff all over the place.

Remember ths is the guy whose whole mission is to destroy the Liberal party and make pure socialists the official opposition. How smart is that?

“Remember ths is the guy whose whole mission is to destroy the Liberal party and make pure socialists the official opposition. How smart is that?”

WOW! Really, really smart. I could handle that. It would be good for Canada … OTOH, Prime Minister Stephen Harper barely has to lift a finger “to destroy the Liberal party,” as they're doing a really good job of doing it to themselves.

Give them enough rope …

stephen, maybe your blog should focus on the things that are hurting Canadians like the following:

http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/090825…

“Since the labour market began to deteriorate last autumn, the number of people receiving EI benefits has risen sharply. Compared with October 2008, the number of people on EI has increased 63.2%, or 316,300.”

………………………………………………….
More than a 63 per cent increase since the Harper Cons were re-elected: that, among other things, is why no one needs to run “attack ads” on these lunkheads. All you need to do is remind voters about their crummy economic record.

That's not attacking. That's telling the truth.

kudos to WK.

But Parnelope, I'm just trying to speak at your own level. Sheesh, I try to be nice to you and you make a rude comment back.

So, why don't you try this civilized approach thing? Wait, sockpuppets don't understand that sort of thing.

And maybe you should have your own blog and we can troll it. Stephen is doing just fine without your so-called advice. Who the f**k are you to tell Stephen what to do, Troll.

Who's to say any appointment could be “non partisan” in politics? The best person for the job should be foremost and that requirement could also include their political views, we're talking about politics, not science or medicine. The problem for the PM now is obvious, the Liberals have stacked the deck with Liberals from the PS to the SCC, to the Senate. It's at a point where it's a miracle of sorts this Conservative government has been able to get anything passed and govern.

We simply need more Conservatives to even the playing field. Harper had lofty ideas in that regard, but appears to have realized what he was dealing with and had no choice. Just as he would prefer to have an elected Senate, he cannot get that through without constitutional change so he has to work around it. Allowing the Provinces who to elect the Senators then the PM can appoint them is the way around it. The Senate doesn't need any more Liberals to block legislation made by those elected to do so.

Political parties are partisan in a democracy but when one entity gets power for too long we are closer to a dictatorship which we were with Chretien, he could do whatever he pleased, even treat a Judge with disrespect. His performance, and it was a performance, at the Adscam inquiry was not one we'd expect from a former PM. It appears our millions tossed to the wind are still a joke, as in “what's a few million”?

We all know that the rise in people collecting EI has everything to do with the current WORLDWIDE recession and very little to do with the CPC and Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

We also know that the Liberal$ were not the best stewards of the economy when they were at the helm of the ship of state — and were notorious for being in bed with BIG BUSINESS, which for some funny reason (say, the partisan bias of the media?) has always been a slur levelled at the CPC.

The thing that strikes me about the LPC is how adept they are at abusing language: They talk, for instance, about “openness,” “tolerance,” “equality,” etc., but stack their party and their patronage appointments with closed, intolerant, partisan lib-lefties who make darned sure that any individuals with views to the right of theirs can't advance towards GO or pick up their $200. Those perks go only to their apparatchiks, who'd better toe the line or they'll be cut off.

With the Libs and their cronies in the media we're way past Orwell's 1984; the Liberal$ have taken Newspeak to new heights — or should that be new depths?

Great article on our PM – from MacLean's Magazine:
http://www2.macleans.ca/2009/08/24/harper%e2%80…

The recession is world-wide and many experts are lauding Canada for weathering it much better than other countries – than most countries. Of course unemployment went up – we had an auto sector teeter on the edge and we have many foreign-owned companies suffering and pulling out. Duh – the recession is world-wide and was not caused by our PM. Our PM has shepherded us through this storm as best he could and our country has not suffered anywhere nearly as bad as the rest of the world.

So, get this straight, Parnelope – the recession was WORLD-WIDE.

Here's a link that will make you think;

Blowing the whistle?

A judge ordered a pre-sentencing report for early September. The Crown wants Corbeil to do jail time but Corbeil's lawyer says he should stay out of jail because he never made a penny from the fraudulent transactions.

However, Corbeil says he will reveal who profited from the scam, suggesting more names will come out in connection with the scandal that helped to bring down Paul Martin's minority Liberal government in 2006.

Ah, but Joe Handley donated $500 to the conservative candidate in the last election, so ‘non-partisan’ may be the wrong term. Party allegiance is fairly fickle in the north. The establishment is typically subservient to whomever is in power. And anyone who thinks Mr. Handley is going to split the left-wing vote doesn’t know Joe or northern voters very well.

Great article on Iggy,including a great picture, and his trip to the Yukon.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/li…

Fact check alert: Handley was also Premier of the NWT and….gasp….a civil servant for the GNWT.

Yes, he followed our PM. Monkey see, monkey do. Too bad our PM was first off the mark. I guess Ignatieff is awakening from thinking thoughts.

pesty…..yada yada yada…typical servant or whatever. No original thought ever hits your brain.

Yet here you are trolling on a conservative blog (note the small c) explaining why the “Conservatives” are bad.

You are the worst troll ever.

That's got to be a compliment coming from a switch hitter.

Incidentally if we extrapolate the trend we can see that NO CANADIANS HAVE JOBS IN 2015! Unfortunately by then we won't have anyone to do the statistics.

are you coming onto me?

Tories have BO so no dice!!!!

You'll never be a credible blog troll until you understand the term.

See how everyone disagrees with you, and many people ignore you wholesale?

See how it's pretty much me and EoE who respond to you, mostly derisively?

Get the net.

Don't be too tough on Terry1/parnel, if this is his life it's going nowhere. He's simply reinforcing why we are NOT Liberals.

A touch ironic since your previous post on this thread was just a link to the Globe and Mail?

Liz, I'm not here to convert you. We libs have higher standards to live by.

Democracy is one of them.

E of E, hasn't two brain cells to rub together and has no one else to berate because that is all he knows. I have yet to decide on you.

As for the others they try to ignore me but when I have something really truthful and hurtful about Harpo they come out of their caves screaming and pointing their spears.

The funny sounds they make are typical reformatort whining noises

Who was talking to you?

I don't think you've ever had anything to say on this blog… to tell you the truth. Looking at your posting history it's mostly ad hominem and link dumps of polls from G&M.

It's almost as if you want to blog yourself but lack the confidence required to go to blogspot and start one for yourself.

As for me… I prefer coming and going as I please, hunting trolls for bounty, or in your case… fun.

See… what you write is Tripe.

Democracy is what Libs want?

Why are they against an elected senate? Why does the LPC prefer to keep it “by appointment only”?

Why did they steal taxmoney to buy votes in Quebec?

Oh right…. democracy.

switch,So with that comment it appears you have set yourself up as the troll pimp,protecting the other trolls. That's a good tory!!!

Ah Liz, you appear to dislike anyone who spoils your lies. Sorry about that.

Eric 84, good post but the reformatorts will choke on that one.

Inote that Jacko of NDP fame could not be bribed by Harpo. What a shame!!!!

The accountability act doesn’t say that. At all. You are an idiot.

Come now. Why not debate instead of calling each other names? Let's have some good wit.

The more I think about it the more I am coming to realize the Ipsos Reid poll was a Tory plant to suck people into believing they are way ahead of the other parties. Little did they know another more balanced poll was coming out with in 12 hours of theirs to dull their conspiracy efforts.

The dirty trick tories and their war room would do such a thing.

Iggy is just showing a little love to his communications team over at the CBC.

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

This is all just how it works in Trudeau's Canada.

Ah yes more reformatort BS…………..what about Pamela Wallin and fat boy who are now in the senate. no favoritism there and no hints to the MSM about whom thye should favor.

Your logic defies common sense as usual.

Those two appointments really bit the butts of Liberals across the land, they were thunderstruck, couldn't speak for days. Did they assume they had them in their camp with so many of the obvious Liberal toadies in the media?

I'd like someone to provide us with evidence either Duffy or Pamela Wallin were indeed connected to any party in their private or public lives?

Yesterday's Harpo/Jacko so called meeting has been appropriately dubbed the axle of weasels summit:
http://www.warrenkinsella.com/index.php

WK always gets it dead on

Oh yes, now you want specific proof that when they were reporters they wore tory badges. More of your stupid BS and illogical garbage.

Someone obviously knew enough about them to have them appointed as tory senators……..must have been that secret reformatort handshake.

nameless jerk….. please tell me more and show me some proof about appointments.

Most of you Troy wankers never put up the proof……….. except hot air

“I never could stand either one of them and now I know why.”

And there we have ample proof – not that we've lacked it before – of your mindset, Terry1: your consuming hatred of anything remotely connected to conservatives/Conservatives.
Your dislike of the two journalists in question was confirmed and justified in your bigoted little mind once they declared their allegiance. And your dislike was based not on anything rational, but on sheer hatred, a base emotion.

I remember Mike Duffy always as a consummate and knowledgeable journalist, never one to let his own personal opinions become apparent. Only recently, after his heart operation, did he become emotional at times, but he was always a consummate polite professional.

Pamela Wallin I remember as quite aggressive in her interviews of Brian Mulroney, so she never gave me the impression of being pro-Conservative. I welcomed her participation on the Manley panel, and think she's a valuable addition to the Senate

BTW, since you also use the moniker Parnel to post comments, you should know that if you're naming yourself after the Irish political leader and MP, you should spell the name correctly: it's Parnell.

Bathb. You are so right. No matter how many appointments the PM makes, he will never get rid of the overload of Liberal Civil Servants. It started with Trudeau's Bilingualism. Only French Canadians need apply. More than 85% of the Civil Service is Frankophone. This injustice screems to high heaven. Of Course Chretien continued in the same way. Short of cancelling official bilingualism in the Civil Service, there will never be a change. It is my belief, that in years to come it will be the root cause for the break up of Canada. I may not see it, but my children and grandchildren will.

East of Eden. You Did not listen to the Troll , when under Trudeau we had massive unemployment it was because of a world wide recession. Of Course now we have a world wide recession but according to the Troll it's Harper fault. Can any one take this guy serious.

From his comments, Terry1/parnel with a small “p” don't forget, that makes it even more unique, we get an idea of the depth of frustration and desperation inflicting the Liberal apologists.

The blog owner here pleads for more civil debate but still allows the aforementioned to tag all who don't abide his side of the political spectrum with lesser mental capacity and of course the always handy “liar” label when the truth hurts.

Bottom line, the fact the Harper Conservatives are in power and doing well, has them all out of their minds with jealousy and hate they are not able to concentrate on getting their own act in order.

Liz, as despicable as the name-calling gets, in a sense it serves a purpose: it allows the true so-called progressive personae to shine through.

They talk about conservatives' anger, conservatives' bigotry, even conservatives' intellectual deficiencies, not to mention conservatives' un-Canadian values – yet with their diatribes they prove they are actually describing themselves.

BTW, Liz, do you experience problems posting at Steve Janke's?
Are you able to view all comments?

Ah, I get it, now. Terry1 is a WK wannabe. I recognize the same sort of style. You know, WK disappoints me. He's educated and intelligent and surely he could blog convincingly without the juvenile name-calling. Kind of negates anything he has to say, really.

Having looked at WK's blog, a moment ago, I now realize that Parnelope does not have an original thought in his little pea-brained skull. Just about everything he posts comes from WK's blog. The name-calling – well, Parnography is just mimicking WK's style. Talk about a sock puppet's sock puppet.

Yes, I do experience problems when trying to navigate Steve Janke's blog.
Sometimes it's impossible to get past the first page, comments don't load.
It's difficult to follow even when it's working.

I keep hoping Steve will put his engineering cap, on and give us a simpler format. OR, maybe it's his engineering cap he's been wearing!

I'd hate to think we'd be missing any of “Gayle's” wisdom by not being able to read all comments.

Yeah, it's clear sock puppetry is rampant within the Liberal dugout.
They're having a difficult time getting a team together to put on the field, even if they do, they still have a manager in name only, no sign he has a clue or has anything to beat team Conservative. It follows he'll be relying on a good umpire to call the shots and try to force order out of chaos.

If they're relying on the fellows in the bunker, the Big fellow included, to attract a cheering section and support, they're doing the exact opposite.

With name calling, gotcha goonies, and smart assery, they're getting down
to the last refuge of a desperate lot.

I like Janke's blog but hate his site. It is the most wonky and cumbersome site. I have no idea why he stays with it but I suppose he has his reasons.

Democracy? LOL, and you Lieberals rolled over and let the Bloq Torontois Champaigne Socialist LIberal Elites appoint and anoint Iggy with scarcely a wimper.

What a joke, Liberals and democracy, there's an oxymoron for you.

They are the first to diss and call names. And they refer to us as bigoted and intolerant. Ever try to post a dissenting view at you-know-who's blog during the last election? Talk about vitriolic and violent people on that blog.

I think you nailed it Liz – they really do seem desperate these days.

I think Rosedale gang believed they could just appoint Ignatieff as Prime Minister, he would throw out a few lines from the Liberal playbook telling each audience what they wanted to hear and we'd be right back to 2002 on the fast track to Trudeau's Canada.

Now that it's clear that this is not going to happen they are losing it a bit. Couldn't have happened to a nicer, classier, more genuine group of people.

The CPC numbers up in Quebec is a great story, along with the 11 point lead in the IPSOS poll.

But the better story is that Canada's natural governing party's grip on power is slipping and we witnessing the second consecutive leader go down in flames.

And we get to witness it along with them!

Something else to add to their anxiety, a crop poll is showing them in free fall in Quebec, the place they were about to take for granted to facilitate an easy ride to power.

Polls are polls but I think most savvy politicians pay some heed to them.

I agree with both of you on the question of Janke's blog. I believe Joanne's has the best format of the few blogs I visit.

And as far as resident trolls are concerned, the one who's put down roots here appears to use the moniker TerryQ when commenting on G&M articles.

If he used some originality, his multiple identities might remain hidden but his typos and other typical “elements of his style” – I use the terms VERY loosely – give him away.

You people are a bunch of children and hypocrites with your gossip and stalking of yours truly. I am very flattered and will have an autograph session at Iggy's swearing in ceremony around the beginning of December.

Your love of Janke and the disgusting comments by tory idiots there are absolute hypocrisy. You jump up and down about my demeanour which is very mild compared to some of the lower animal species found over there.

I say you all have your thinking done below your belt line.

East of eden is an absolute jerk and can't even add or substract or have one independent opinion. The master stalker he is which that rhymes with something else.

hey puss face……..you haven't written anything except about stalking me. I'm not in need of help and not looking for an idiot to chaperone.

WK happens to be as very bright and is very much in line with my thinking. He dislikes Harpo more than I do and that works for me.

TerryQ, that's a new one, copy catting SuzyQ?

He hasn't been jumping on our comments for at least a couple of hours. Could he be hunkered down in the bunker with his idol, the big guy, chief of sock puppets, in shock over the latest polling numbers in Quebec?

They may want to talk to their buddies in the media who are gung-ho for an election about nothing this Fall.

Gabby, here is some more proud reformatory stuff for you:

From: Dave U Random
To: Warren Kinsella
Subject: APOLOGY BY STEVE JANKE TO WARREN AND SUZANNE KINSELLA
Sent: Aug 24, 2009 10:03 AM

Once again you demonstrate to the world what a snivelling, whining cry-baby you are. Everyone knows what an abject creep and asshole you and your wife are, so who do you think you are kidding? You and your hero Richard Warman are both cut from the same cloth-you are both the scum of the earth. Eat shit and die, asshole! (And that applies to your wife and mongrel brats as well.)

When I see Harper sucking up to Layton I know the Liberals are ok in their approach.

Summer polls are noticeable for their basic inaccuracy for various reasons and quebeckers are no different.

As for the copy cat issue there is Liz J here and Liz……….copycats maybe.

The stupidity continues from you

To all Conservative on this blog, you have been accuses by Terry1/parnel/TerryQ of the offense of stalking him.

He has also informed us of a hitherto unknown fact that Kinsella hates “Harpo” more than he does. Now that's really got to be baaaad.

Another bit of wisdom from Terry1/parnel//TerryQ: “summer polls are noted for their basic inaccuracy for various reasons”….. draw your own conclusions from that one.

'Scuse the typos, pressed for time……

Hsave a ny of your brain dead Tories seen the stats put out that show a 63% increase in EI claims since last October. Imagine last November our esteemed gang of lunkheads told us there was no recession coming and no stimulus was needed.

That's the main reason to turf these losers!!!

Terry1, that style of writing resembles yours and your oracle's far more than mine.

Maybe Dave is just another one of your own multiple internet personalities, hmmm?

Gabby, sorry I would admit it if it was my alias but I already know who it is and they will soon be outed by the “oracle” who, by the way, is harpo's soon to be worst nightmare.

“I would admit it if it was my alias”

Terry, I wouldn't believe you if you told me the time of day, given your past and current behaviour.

Maybe if you spent some time in “rehab for the untruthful” …

Anyway, I won't belabour the point … whoever the Dave in that email is, it's none of my business. It's between the writer of the email and the recipient, so I fail to see why it should be relevant to any reader here, and especially to me.

“Maybe if you spent some time in “rehab for the untruthful” …

Gabby how was that course? do you recommend it for all reformatorts?

Would harpo have a chance of ever getting out of there?

“Gabby how was that course?”
It was a very fruitful experience for participants who were sincere in their efforts to improve.

I really enjoyed teaching it.

If youwere the teacher then sincereity was not on the agenda…….you are a tory after all!!
