Canadian politics
In June Liberal MP Judy Sgro was found to be in violation of some ethics codes by the house. Why isn’t the rest of the Canadian media not covering this story and trying to get to the bottom of this . Normally the media would be all over this story like a slobbering dog, a disgraced politician making secret deals behind closed doors it looked like it had front-page written all over it.
However most of the chattering classes in Ottawa are too busy with trying to figure out who’s on which enemies list and other souped-up news items for the silly season between summer and the start of Parliament.

Sgro declined to explain how she had fixed her problem or address claims made by two independent sources that she was forced to pay back $100,000.

Now the title might be a bit misleading but Michael Coren devoted his latest blog post to the hiring of Heather Mallick by the Toronto Star Coren devoted 500 words to Mallick’s journalistic “qualifications” and going through some of her multiple hits and misses. the news that the star hired another far left commentator is in a matter of speaking yesterday’s newspaper.

It’s not who you are that matters it’s what you do that count. The idea that African Americans are being questioned for their authenticity as Conservatives for participating in a tea party group should smack of irony. But it seems liberals are tone death to such things.
A new documentary attempts to answer that question. I want your money is a new take on an old problem what vision is right for America and what legacy do we want to leave our children. It asks the fundamental question does America want to lead the world as an economic powerhouse or be led by it. I’d watch it for the animation alone Ronald Regan in the ring that’s a sight to see. The only thing you need to make it a perfect movie is to have Milton Freidman tell Obama why his economic strategy is damaging America’s prospects at the dawn of the new century.
