30 Replies to “Watching Christie Clark’s Performance On CTV”

  1. Well the revelation tonight is that CTV and CBC have confirmed that they are no more than the Media arm of the Liberal Party. If I was a Liberal I know my only island in Canada is Toronto.
    Its imperative that the water in Toronto be examined.

  2. I used to listen to CKNW and still do on Saturday morning and on the week-end where they have Michael Campbell and Roy Green tucked away as best they can so they don’t get too many right wing listeners attracted to The big nine eight O.
    Christy is a Liberal hack and after three hours of Bill (do) Good every morning I felt like I was eavesdropping in a welfare office or a meeting of some anti poverty group … Christy who follows the Bill show is more than I could bear.
    CKNW experimented with the middle of the road (politically) Charles Adler show, but I guess he was too outspoken and frank of subjects like the imaginary Global Warming issue and a couple of others.
    Too bad so many megawatts are wasted on so much left wing pap all day long.
    Regarding Boob Rae and his no debt thingy. With the Demarais Power Corp boys behind you, money is no object …. ever.
    I wish there was a virus that would infect the Left wing mind and eat away at their born to rule mental disorder or better yet … lobotomize them … although that might go unnoticed.

  3. I’ve always dreaded being a conservative in toronto and well I’m an outspoken one at that. But lately, I see some fear in the eyes of my opponents.

  4. CKNW has seen a steep decline in quality of its broadcasters.
    Must be the thing with big corporate ownership. Always the short term profits are the target. They want to be non-controversial so tend towards middle of the road, non threatening hosts/journalists. Then to add to it there is the constant drift leftwards as compromise and “balance” eats into any conservative values and morals.
    There are no conservative voices left on CKNW.
    Everytime I see Clark I can’t help but remember that her husband is the no. 1 federal Liberal in BC.

  5. Re: Dion’s Debt
    IF the Rae or iggy group want to get SD out of the picture they would be wise to get a check ready to wipeout his debt (850000!?) otherwise he’s not going to go quietly.

  6. And, if SD has to go back to “teaching”, he will really be doing some damage 🙂

  7. Interesting looking at Quadra – the Liberal candidate is a highly successful entrepreneur, the Conservative a professor.
    It is typical – for all of the talk, somehow successful business people and entrepreneurs seem to be attracted to the LIberal Party and not the Conservative Party.
    Finally, curious as to why nobody seems to have noticed that Harper was all but absent from all of the cmpaigns, as if they were keeping him hidden for fear he might frighten the kids… not to mention to keep his highness a safe distance from any loss. Really courageous.

  8. Hey tory watcher; the Liberals started with 4 seats and are going to end up with three. I think Mr. Harper is doing just fine.

  9. tory_watcher: PMs do not get involved with by-elections. It would be bad form to do so. Plus, he’s a little busy. That being said, he did pick up another seat tonight. Libs, down one.
    It’s not that people don’t like Harper. It’s that Toronto is a world socialist center, with no hope of electing a non-socialist.

  10. I think Dion should parachute more female candidates into ridings! He had his ass handed to him….AGAIN!
    I guess Beatty should have stuck with the NDP, now she will have to get in the UI lineup…looks good on her!

  11. I have taken to the internet to get around listening to the pablum that is served on CKNW during the Bill and Christie shows.
    Rutherford in the morning and Adler after that is a lot more entertaining and informative than the soft mushy stuff on the giant 98.

  13. tory_watcher:
    Joyce married a successful entrepreneur – how much she contributed is really only known to the employees at Brinkman Reforestation. As the Environment Minister (which should have been a pretty good fit) she was generally regarded as being out of her depth – she didn’t leave much of a hole when she left. I agree that there have historically been some business people attracted to the Liberal party, although many of them are more “policy entrepreneurs” more than actual businesspeople, but we will see how that develops over time.
    Harper didn’t do much campaigning, but I don’t think any of the leaders did (Jack! maybe – but really, who cares?). I didn’t see any national-level personalities stumping in Quadra; I can’t speak for the other ridings, but a sitting minority Parliament and continued threats to bring down the government have a way of concentrating the front-benchers’ minds on Ottawa.

  14. As a person who lives in Canada’s 5th largest city (Edmonton) in the same province as Canada’s 4th largest city (Calgary) which both are represented overwhelmingly by Conservatives without a Liberal to be seen it confuses and infuriates me that the media talking heads keep saying that Conservatives just can’t seem to “break through” in cities!!!!
    Seems also that Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Quebec, Ottawa, and about 50 other urban ridings in this country represented by Harper Conservatives are also cities.
    In fact, it is LIBERALS who were shut out of most of the cities in this country.
    Myopic????
    Or does the narrow minded think that downtown Toronto and downtown Vancouver are the only cities in this country??? What a huge slap in the face to the rest of us, don’t you think.

  15. Rutherford used to have bigger balls until Corus took over, still always listen but I think the burdizzo has been tightened a little. As for Diddler on line, if you can stand the phoney accent and the wet finger in the air politics well he’s your cup of squat. He is kind of the Seinfeld show of the afternoon, a show about nothing most of the time.

  16. If the Harper government was as unpopular in urban Canada as pundits would have us believe: One would think that the turnout in 2 Toronto seats and one Vancouver seat would have been much much better than it is tonight.

  17. My prediction:
    Stevo makes a backroom deal on a hotbutton issue with Layton, touts the “reasonable postion” of the NDP party, makes Jackie a hero, and turns up the heat on Dion… just when Dion finally gets the balls to vote against the Tories in a confidence motion.
    Look on Harpers face: Like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush.
    Look on Laytons face: Like a gay man who’s just discovered his true calling.
    Look on Dions face: Priceless… “do you think it’s easy carrying the debt of the Leadership on my Mastercard?”
    Watch for it, Steve’s not done with his bag of tricks yet, and Dion’s got no magic.

  18. CBC and CTV News reports TSE takes dive with introduction of deductable RESP’s. TSE gains strength after Conservatives cans proposed Liberal change. TSE crashes after 2 Liberals elected in Toronto.

  19. It seems to me it is not so much the cities that are hard for the tories to penetrate. It is the various communities in the middle of the cities that are composed of immigrants and ethnic comunities.
    The larger these communities are, and the more of them, the more liberal the city. So Toronto, for which more than 50% of the inner city is immigrant, votes liberal en-masse. Take a subway ride through downtown Toronto and you will see that inner Toronto is the united nations.

  20. I turned to another station as soon as Clark started with her “the more intelligent you are, the more likely you are to vote Liberal” crap; the sad part is, some of these people actually BELIEVE this nonsense.

  21. The Liberals LOST a seat and almost LOST another.
    The Conservatives GAINED a seat and almost GAINED another.
    Who really is ahead here?
    Dion now has all the contenders for his Leadership close at hand except his king maker Kennedy who has vanished.

  22. Politicians and political pundits must have concluded as they watched the Liberal vote evaporate in the Vancouver and Sask. ridings that Dion was a big loser tonite.
    The Hall Findlay and Bob Rae wins were not really wins in the true sense of the word since Dion’s dog Kyoto couldn’t lose those seats for the Liberals.
    Jack Layton was not a factor in any of the ridings nor did he show anything that would give the NDP hope.
    The Green Party has nothing to write home about and continue to be a fringe element.
    It appears that Stephen Harper is the only Party Leader that will have a smile on his face to-nite.
    The voter turn out should be a wake up call for all parties – people are being turned off by the shenanigans and the boorish actions of the MP’s in parliament . The MP”s find it impossible to ask a question in a civil tone and people are not impressed.

  23. CTV pulled out all the stops last night, here in Toronto.
    Some CTV reporter was dressed in a liberal red dress and was reporting from Boob (Wrecked my Province) Rae’s party HQ’s, before the polls were reporting.
    It wasn’t even Scott Brison either.
    They did run the sub-title “NDP candidate Bob Rae” under Power Corp’s main man, which made it kind of fun.
    Did anyone catch Bob (9.7 billion Ontario deficit) Rae trying to cry over some 80 year old guy, he mentioned in his victory speech.
    Maurice Strong , right?

  24. Well, I BC the media is controlled by the Pattersen Group. If you don’t tow the line, tone down the questioning against the BC Liberals you loose your job. Just ask Ralph Meyer or Ben Meisner.

  25. I was watching the CBC’s election coverage this morning, and the only thing I could think was,
    ‘WHAT THE HELL IS THE DEAL WITH JULIE VAN MADUSA’S HAIR????!!!
    Maybe she fills the ‘Screeching Harridan’ slot in their diversity hiring program.

  26. In the Liberal Party and the MSM there are no Canadian cities outside of Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal. All other people are “rural” Canadians.

  27. MJH: Isn’t it curious that when the Liberals did their “immigration policy” that these were their targeted cities???? Control the urban vote and your pretty much set.

  28. lmf at 12:25 a.m.
    Its the same logic used by Peter Mansbridge in the last election when he equated the Conservatives being shut out in Prince Edward Island to the Liberals being shut out in Alberta.

  29. “I was watching the CBC’s election coverage this morning, and the only thing I could think was,
    ‘WHAT THE HELL IS THE DEAL WITH JULIE VAN MADUSA’S HAIR????!!!”
    She had an unfortunate run-in with Heather Mills McCartney.

  30. Mary M:
    I’ve pretty much given up listening to Bill Good since he turned to mush and Chrisie C is nothing but a joke so I’ve begun using the internet for talk-show listening.
    Don’t blame anyone except Rafe Mair for the demise of Rafe Mair. He did it to himself with his idiotic rants about fish farms and coffee sweetner. He was over the hill in any case.
