So they can run all that American crap cheaper and get rid of the competition. They sabotaged Dion's campaign in the dying days, and now they are trying to spin this exactly the way the PMO wants them. Too bad the Con PMO won't be able to return the favour.I understand they'll soon be leaving for Paraguay... :)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-70323492329744575992008-12-02T02:18:00.000-05:002008-12-02T02:18:00.000-05:00Hi Torontonian...a pinata?

It's much better to stick to the high ground. This sordid bugging is going to hurt the Cons because it makes them look even MORE sleazy.I think most Canadians now see them for what they really are. At last.<BR/>We've got them where we want them...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-43989158134460660812008-11-30T23:06:00.000-05:002008-11-30T23:06:00.000-05:00Thank you Simon!!!

I'm just watching this "story" now, and it's incredible how conspiracy-freaky the CTV journo-turds are all of a sudden. <BR/><BR/>BTW, all these sudden reverses are hilarious. If not for talk of a coalition--"secret" or otherwise--what are the odds that we would see these fuckers shifting gears so quickly--or at all?<BR/><BR/>BRING ON THE COALITION, BABY!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-89920605555306366422008-11-30T22:59:00.000-05:002008-11-30T22:59:00.000-05:00Poor Conservatives.

This news release is straight out of the Rovian playbook.<BR/><BR/>I wrote elsewhere:<BR/><BR/>Harper is better equipped at handling accusations of scandal than those of ineptness. He's been like teflon on every other scandal raised because he recognizes that a steady non-reaction is better politics than an over-reaction. Chretien is also gifted with the same reflexes.<BR/><BR/>An angry Jack Layton or heaven forbid Pat Martin (Mr. Ethics MP) is the worst thing that could happen when the idea of a coalition government is picking up momentum.<BR/><BR/>Right now the Winnipeg Free Press (fairly right wing) is reporting 69% in favour of a coalition government. It's been on the rise all day. (And it's now closed.)<BR/><BR/>Having the media spend the week focused on whether the taping was illegal, unethical or inept (on the part of the NDP) would be a shot in the arm for Harper. It's bait and the whole news item should be buried as fast as possible in my view.<BR/><BR/>As I said elsewhere, a defensive Harper is his own worst enemy.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.com
