Canada Still Has Too Many Reporters

Breathlessly awaiting criticism from reporters of Obama flying around the country in a Jumbo jet while campaigning for the last 4 years.

Smith is one of those reporters who like to chase parked cars.

The brain damage is usually permanent.

Let's start going through the old LIBERAL books for wasteful expenditures related to PM security.

How much did Aline Chretien's Inuit Carving, that she fended off an intruder, at 24 Sussex, with, cost?

Free of electronic listening devices.

And let's not forget that the greatest in flight terrorist attack pre 911 were air India flights departing from Canada.

India is a dangerous place for a PM from Canada.

And Smith and Fifee and the works are relevant for what? Oh yes, liberal piss boys. Their parents must be so proud.

In between tweets of what that dreamy Justin Trudeau had for lunch.

What a clueless twit. There's all kinds of important news on this trip. Like why Foreign Affairs has been ragging the puck for the last three years on a nuclear cooperation agreement with India, or prospects for energy system development, or the state of affairs on intellectual property rights. Things that Harper has gone over to finalize.

But no, little Roger can seem to find anything more interesting than limos. No, Bartinsky, it's not just that he's a Liberal water-carrier. He like much of the television press corps is terminally stupid. They've all transformed into gossip columnists because they're incapable of covering foreign affairs in any meaningful way.

Canada shipped cars to India for the PM's visit and this guy is upset?

Hey, why didn't Harper fly commercial coach too while he was at it? Maybe that would have got respect from the Liberal media.

Ok, I admit that was silly...

...Roger Smith would still complain about the price of the tickets.

cgh, you said it. Why can't the master editors and the brain trust at CTV tell their little sock puppet, Smith, to try and report some real news instead of this gotcha gossip BS? What kind of intellectual and moral vaccum do these people operate in? I mean really.

"Canada Still Has Too Many Reporters"

--- well at best we have too many reporters who say the same scripted lines, cover only the same narrow stories and pimp the same narrow klepto- statism.

I'd just be happy to see old fashoned investigtive reporting again - from that perspective my hat goes off the Sun News Net's Kris Sims - she should get an award for all the times she;s caught bureaucrats with their scrte dangling in the wind - but she probably won't , because all the media awards are controllled by culture war zombies too.

The RCMP is in charge of security for the Prime Minister,in their opinion it was advisable for security reasons to provide our own transportation.End of story,even a sorry excuse for a reporter like Roger Smith should be able to figure that out.CTV must be desperate for talent if this kind of reporting is the best they can do.

Roger is a perfect example of an asshole journalist, they put out crap with a stench of bias so strong you can cut it with a knife.

"Reporters" like Smith are trolls.

Reporters like Smith work for the Bell Canada, Power Corp Liberal Cabal.
They want Harper out and their guys the Turdeau clan, the McGuinty clan and/or the Rae/Strong clan, in.
Canada has been robbed/run by this criminal syndicate for far too long.
Bell Canada is especially pissed, they tried to corner the (media message) market with their purchase of Astral, Rogers and Quebecor pointed out the obvious and Harper said no.
It's as simple as that!

The Liberal Left is also showing their cluelessness with other cultures again.

India is “THE” caste system culture; it defines their nation, families, and individual character.
If you want to do business in India it’s your status that opens doors, and they expect you to wear it on your sleeve.

The fact that the racist Liberal Left does not understand this should exempt them from any other cultural inputs for Canada period.

I believe this is the same Roger Smith who was summarily moved aside by Stephane Dion's body guards as he asked Dion an inane question. He stood there, in the wake of the entourage, wide-eyed and unbelieving that he had just been chastised by a fellow Liberal. He seemed to not realize that sycophants command little respect.

Grant
"He seemed to not realize that sycophants command little respect."
You nailed it.

Speaking of the safety of the PM,didn't India have some trouble with "violent community activists" a few years back? (July 13,2011)

This is just another of the 38,467 anti-Harper articles since 2006. Of course,to show MSM "balance", there WERE 46 pro-Harper articles!

Michael Harris,in an article at ipolitics, called the PMO, "Darth Vader Central". What devastating wit!

Here's how Liberals get around India while they're not watching children being beaten for stealing their purses.

Hopefully after tomorrow Liberal media will be declaired dead and we can piss on her grave.

@Rose Unfortunately in Canada the Liberal media will continue to live, via the socialized health care provided to it from the CBC.

India has plenty of Muslims, and there have been a couple of major bombings there.

The media are always trying to "get" politicians - even Liberal ones - for their vehicles. And yet the answer that it is determined by the RCMP and external security agencies is plausible.
Oh yes, Brian Mulroney liked to travel in a cavalcade but Mulroney was a particularly obnoxious SOB.

It is unlikely that the conversations between the RCMP and the Indian Police Service, about PMSH's trip or anything else for that matter, will ever surface.

Oh yes, Brian Mulroney liked to travel in a cavalcade

No PM in Canada ever needed an armoured limo until PET. Of course, that hadn't been any political assassinations in Canada since Confederation until PET - and none since. No coincidence there!

This is an RCMP decision, not the CPC government's.

Given the extremists' presence in Pakistan, I can see why the RCMP would rather trust Canadian vehicles than Indian ones.

OTOH, I'm sure the NDP and the Librano$ wouldn't be overly sorrowful if "something" happened to PM Harper. I hate to say that, but it's true. :-(

Poor Evan Solomon is just distraught over this..has spent majority of show harping about it..also Q.of the day pertains to this..go vote!

Tried to vote at cbc Q of the day,that YES PM did need security..told me I could only vote once...I hadn't voted!

The media is the enemy both down south and here in Canada.They are pissed that PMSH doesn't pander to them unlike Chretien and Martin picking up their restaurant tabs.If it weren't for the internal power hungry feud between the Martin and Chretien loyalists including in the media we would still be governed by yhe natural party.Now that that's over the media can refocus it's effort on bringing down the Conservatives and getting their gang and by extention themselves back to the trough.

This really is a WTF moment.

akin was tweeting about this before any of the rest . it's not just cbc or ctv

KevinB, yes there was. Thomas D'Arcy McGee was assassinated in 1868, and it was thoroughly political.

batb, you are exactly right. It's the RCMP makes all the decisions about the PM's security.

These people still think they are relevant or anyone listens to them? lol Liars all.

A few weeks ago the US GAO (Government Accounting Office) reported that the annual cost to service the First Family was $1.4 billion.

Now in fairness that figure is probably close to previous occupants of the White House, although given Moochelle's penchant for multiple vacations and O's taste for $1.5 million state dinners (costs previously unheard of) I suspect the price tag is higher than previously for the current occupants.

And our stupid MSM reporters are complaining about shipping an armoured vehicle for the protection of the leader of what our country has now become..an important world player within the community of nations?

There are no depths that these morons will not descend to in order to aim a cheap shot ot PMSH.

Roger Smiths' wife works for the Liberals ...how's that for a conflict of interest?

Well then,he is f&^ked!Get some troopies for his security! Poor sucker doesn't even realize he is "protected" by the the left.

Any way you look at it shipping a couple of armor plated SUV s to India, along with the attendant security detail, is one hell of a lot cheaper than a State Funeral and all the subsequent enquiries that would take place.Don t forget that the lefty media would be first in line and outraged over why better security precautions were not taken.
