The CBC and Graves Does It Again

The CBC’s political and current affairs program Power and Politics is increasingly losing credibility by the day. The latest Graves gaffe concerns an e-mail that was an impetus for the exclusive poll on gender and politics  for the CBC. It turns out the e-mail was authored by a former Liberal candidate. This is another example of Liberal bias on the part of the CBC and Graves .  Clearly the CBC’s   policy about objectivity and non-biased reporting needs to be reviewed. The CBC’s  Power and Politics has become the Wolf in sheep’s clothing of political commentary masquerading as news.

Jason Kenney on Michael Coren

Jason Kenney was on Michael Coren’s show on Tuesday and showed why he is one of the most capable and intelligent ministers in Stephen Harper’s cabinet. He defended the government’s position on the George Galloway situation and much more. I would’ve liked to seen some more of his opinions on the opposition and his own party but nevertheless it was a good interview.

Dwight Duncan The Duke of deficits opens a new chapter in Ontario’s have not status

 

The Duke of deficits Dwight Duncan steered Ontario’s floundering economic flagship on further into uncharted waters with the Liberals 2010 budget. By job creation for the economy not being the main focus of the Ontario Liberals the province has a chance to sink deeper into the mire of a have not province. Leader of the Ontario PCs Tim Hudak forcefully spoke out against the Liberals latest budget. This budget is a real step back for young people who are just entering the workforce there will be more competition for entry-level jobs because of Dalton Dawdling on the economy.

“Dalton McGuinty had the opportunity to demonstrate that Ontario has a plan to once again become the best place in the world to invest, start a business and create jobs. But he failed to provide a plan that would put jobs first.”




Once the engine of Canada’s economy, Ontario will see its equalization payments triple and its cherished public services threatened by reckless spending,


“While other provinces pull themselves into recovery, Ontario’s plunge into have-not status has accelerated.“

Michael Ignatieff to aloof for the CBC?

 I am not usually a fan of Rick Mercer and his brand of comedy. I find it’s become run-of-the-mill and very dry. You know things are bad when a comedian from the CBC are national broadcaster. Usually a liberal leaning network is making light how aloof and aristocratic you are. Then you should look in the mirror and know you have an image problem with the Canadian public. Ignatieff’s Achilles like failure with communicating issues to the average Canadian will still be a weakness going into the next election.

Tim Hudak only leader willing to stand up against banning of UFC

 

Tim Hudak yesterday was very vocal about the banning of the UFC The leader of the progressive conservative party saying that UFC could bring jobs to Ontario .”      McGuinty seems more interested in banning things — like candy in schools and pit bulls — than he is concerned with bringing tourism dollars to Toronto and Ontario.   ”  By taking a stance on the UFC . hopefully the Conservatives can attract more young and non-traditional support to the Tory fold.
