Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Please don’t link to the NP unless you warn me, I want nothing to do with that pro-Justin rag.
All this time spent on the net and you didn’t learn mouse-over?
Anyhow, I hope that Mr. Black meant what he said and that the day of reconciling for those who took him down is at hand.
CAJ is nothing but a cabal of Marxists and their running dog dupes.
Pinto better get some industrial strength lube . . . He’s gonna get bent over a legal bench and get some justice delivered directly.
And, supporting Conrad’s Black claim that the Canadian Association of Journalists is a joke, we have……………..the Canadian Association of Journalists’ response:

Notice how they completely avoided addressing Mr. Black’s original complaint: Pinto’s misrepresentation of facts.
When Conrad was riding high, I always saw him as a pompous ass, but jail time,deserved or not, seems to have done him good. He seems almost human and certainly more humble. I wish he had the resources to buy another newspaper empire because I feel it would actually bring some integrity back into a media dominated by hacks and quacks. He’s smart enough to see what sloppy reporting and brainless journalism has done to destroy the credibility of the media. You get a whole different view when you’re at the bottom looking up. If he starts up even one newspaper, the rest better look out because they’re in for a “whoopin”.
Conrad Black … is a well educated, articulate and intelligent essayist.
His foes possess almost nothing of these qualities and in most cases are the exact opposite in character and nature.
Nothing has changed in the last 9 years.
In reading the article, particularly the latter part, it appears to me that Lord Black is about to launch the monster of all lawsuits against his accusers and adjudicators in these matters, and all persons associated therewith, in multiple jurisdictions, including one or more Canadian provinces. He could, I suppose, sue for damages around:
– wrongful dismissal,
– wrongful conviction,
– defamation of character (which he’s done already — and won, essentially),
– infringement of his first, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth and (possibly) ninth amendment rights under The Constitution of the United States,
– infringement of his rights under sections 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 24 and (possibly) 26 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom, and
– state subornment of prejury.
I hope he wins big time, and gets lots and lots of money. Because, even after he has taken his cut, which I’m sure will be at the $10.25 per hour level here in Ontario, the rest of us will be much richer, in many ways, for the experience.
Mr. Black says the party’s over: make it so.
