Charlie Sheen Told to Butt Out

From Globe and Mail

“It’s very important for his own health,” Ms. Best told reporters at the provincial legislature on Thursday. “He can give me a call. I will certainly direct him [on] how to get the help that he needs.”

She acknowledged that she has never met Mr. Sheen. But she has been following the headlines about the troubled actor’s substance abuse and hard-partying lifestyle. As the province’s Health Promotion Minister, she said, it is her job to urge all smokers to quit and she believes that Mr. Sheen clearly is someone who has “issues.”

Ms. Best said she assumes that he is addicted to smoking cigarettes, but quickly added that having never personally met the man, “I can’t make a diagnosis on the spot.”

Seriously the Ontario government is trying to remind Charlie Sheen not to break the provinces antismoking laws you’ve got to be kidding me. The only thing I can predict with some certainty is Charlie Sheen will still be ” winning” 175 days from now I can’t say the same for the Ontario Liberals.

Harper Passes With Flying Colors

As one tries to cut through the MSM’s post debate postmortem that always seems to be a bit of an overkill. This short article gives the most concise and clear indications on how the leaders fared in last night’s debate

From Global News

Harper and his team should be thrilled with his performance. He spoke directly to Canadians and his mantra was a twist on the famous Bill Clinton adviser James Carville’s line “it’s the economy stupid.”

He referred to an “unnecessary election” caused by bickering (while his opponents bickered), repeated the theme referring to four elections in seven years, and stayed on the message that his government had policies to move the economy forward and create jobs.

He deftly sidestepped one landmine after another. Contempt of parliament, undemocratic leadership style, the leaked auditor general’s report – nothing stuck.

He was calm and used plain and common sense language – he was relatable to the audience.

Most importantly, he was the only leader to effectively communicate his party’s record, platform and principles.

From a communications perspective, he was the clear winner. Whether that translates into more votes and a majority government remains to be seen.
