To let a country with a secular tradition like Turkey fall into the hands of religious fanatics would be a horrible blow not only for the whole region, but dare I say the whole world. Why Canadians can't take to the streets to express their disgust is something that bothers me greatly. I'm starting to accept that it is who we are, but I'm proud that I have worn out at least two pairs of sneakers marching to suport one progressive cause or the other. I'm just hoping I won't have to wear out another pair, before we can give the Cons the boot... ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-50449253718072314292013-06-04T23:06:11.988-04:002013-06-04T23:06:11.988-04:00hi anonymous...I hope you're wrong, but I can&...hi anonymous...I hope you're wrong, but I can't blame you for being sceptical. The Cons have corrupted so many institutions, one can't even trust the police. As for the audit, it's just a delaying tactic, in the hope they can find some Liberal senators who have been fiddling with their expenses, and spread the manure around. However, it seems to me that the police have a very good case, so while they may have to tread gently for obvious reasons, they will have to lay charges eventually, or see their own credibility also go down the drain...

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. And ...hi Cathy... Thanks, I'm glad you like it. And you're right, the Cons disgraceful behavious is just another sign of decay. Sometimes I still can't believe what I'm seeing. The Harperites have turned our parliament into an Orwellian nightmare, mocking our traditions, and acting like animals. So the thought that they could get away with trying to steal an election really bothers me. However, I am hoping that something comes out of the investigation, and that the police finally get involved. All it would take is a small break and the whole house of cards could come tumbling down. By now it should be clear that they are capable of anything. Now all we have to do is catch them... :)<br /> Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-46279124108356528162013-06-04T11:56:34.059-04:002013-06-04T11:56:34.059-04:00We need a lady in Red.

That audit and $2 will get me a cup of coffee at Timmy's for all that audit will be worth. "no evidence of wrongdoing, m'lord" is the way this whole thing is going to work out.

Evading questions and repeatedly pointing out that Mulcair is an honest man who witnessed what could have been criminal activity 20 odd years ago is truly absurd behavior on Baird's part. More signs of the cons decay.<br /><br />Regarding the robocall scandal, Evan Soloman on P&P addressed the complaints about the lack of coverage by saying there is much to come on CBC about this important issue. We will have to see what will be left of the CBC's editorial freedom after the passage of Bill C60. Other journalists have to step up and do their jobs as well, IMHO. More and more, this is the case.<br /><br />Thank you, Simon, for another spot on blog. I always look forward to reading your work.<br /><br />Cathy Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
