CTV editor Christine Tam ♥♥♥ Justin Trudeau
Posted by Kate at November 24, 2012 7:25 PMTo borrow a phrase, "you can't legislate stupid!"
Posted by: Mike in White Rock at November 24, 2012 7:39 PMI listened to the TV clip in French and it was ambiguous who the "nous" were, Liberals or Quebecois?
I'd say the latter, given that he ownly named Quebec PMs as being great, and they weren't all Liberals, at least in by name: Mulroney!
And he didn't mention that other famous Liberal PM who dominated Canada for decades - you know, whatsisname - believed he could communicate with his mother via a dog, or something.
McGuinty, frére, and Trudeau, fils, reveal the deep arrogance of the Liberal ruling class.
Posted by: Robert of Ottawa at November 24, 2012 7:58 PMThe real question is, could he make anti Asian comments to her anytime?
Posted by: stephen at November 24, 2012 7:59 PMOh crap, the media are wetting their panties already. Remind me to restrict my news to on-line or print so as to not be afflicted by leg tingles.
btw, why are panties considered a "pair" while a bra is singular?

Posted by: Soccermom at November 24, 2012 8:18 PMThe shame is that we have political lobbyists pretending to be journalists/reporters. Let's call them what they are.
Posted by: Alain at November 24, 2012 8:27 PMJustin is not only dreamy,he is deep.
This video from his campaign stop in winnipeg shows how deep.
When asked about his policies ,the shiny pony replies;
" I plan on bringing people together from coast to coast to coast...blah,blah,blah,...no band aids or sound bytes...blah,blah,blah,...When a politician says that and means it,it is a very,very,strong policy statement."
Basically,he said nothing,but that may be part of his appeal to Christine. Who doesn't want an attractive brain dead toy to play with ? You may not want to live with one or have one run your errands,let alone the country,but for a weekend or two,Justin does have appeal.

BTW,a little off-topic,but Justin said that all the great PM's came from Quebec. He included Paul Martin in that list.
Paul Martin,from Windsor,Ontario,though he was elected in Quebec, was not a great PM. He did have a hand in ruining the Liberals,but even with that,he wasn't a great PM.
Posted by: wallyj at November 24, 2012 8:37 PMAnd to follow up on Wallyj, Martin wasn't the great financial whiz as finance minister. He reduced to federal deficit by two methods:
1) Using the billions generated by Mulroney's GST
2) Cutting transfer payments to the provinces.
No rocket science there.
Posted by: Robert of Ottawa at November 24, 2012 8:47 PMIt has occurred to me that the fact, the latest 'Anointed One's' wife is employed by what has become,a separated at birth twin of our CBC may be an explanation for this gag me with a spoon high school-ish behaviour.
It would further explain those seasoned guys who have always thought themselves to be journalists at the CTV doing their seniors version of 'gag me with a spoon'.
They are all getting leg quivers for intellectual absence at the CTV?... Perhaps I'm on to something.
I've said it before and I will say it again. The only purpose of Twitter is for idiots to out themselves. Look's like Chrissy had a "throw her panties" moment.

Posted by: NME666 at November 24, 2012 9:12 PMFirst off, we can at least thank the French (from France though, not Canada...) for having women first wear their underwear below the waist during the French Revolution. The "pair" idea most certainly is associated with the leggings, and I concur with "Texas Canuck" that it makes no sense for the bra, with two cups (double-barreled) to be referred to in the singular. The French were again implicated in this, as Philippe de Brassière hijacked the designs of the original bra's creator, Otto Titzling from Germany. Anyways, enough of history and the waywardness of the French. It is still encouraging to cite some positive contributions from their ethnicity, so as to offset the negative and detrimental influences they've bestowed upon Canada. It's a well known fact that the loser from the Plains of Abraham has been an overly-compensated winner on this soil in the generations since. I have welcomed the change to our competent, all-inclusive, national representation, with a stable Conservative majority, and a Prime Minister who leads our nation with wisdom and class, both domestically and internationally. We truly are the envy of the world, if we can just convince most of the ungrateful idiots who live here.
Posted by: Tripper523 at November 24, 2012 9:19 PMOne of the lefties favorite talking points is that more people didn't vote conservative than those who did, and somehow that refutes the government's majority.
However when one looks deeper a different conclusion is obvious. Only 61% of the eligible voters actually voted. More people chose not to vote than the number who did vote for any of the parties. Using lefty logic, more eligible voters didn't vote for any of the leftist parties than those who did.

Posted by: Niall Mor at November 24, 2012 9:48 PMIn September I attended a conference in wpg where on of the speakers was Peter mansbridge. He related a story about the (first) time he interviewed Barack Obama. Accompanying him and in the room at the time to take notes of obamas answers was the nationals international correspondent nahla ayed (http://www.cbc.ca/thenational/about/correspondents/nahlahayed/).
After the interview Mansbridge looked towards ayed and asked he what she thought. "He's gorgeous!!" She gushed. She had not taken down a single note during the ten minute interview.
Mansbridge related this story to the audience thinking it was humorous. I, as you might imagine thought very differently about it and him.

Posted by: syncrodox at November 24, 2012 9:56 PMThe truth about Otto Titzling — if you can handle it — is that he never existed in the first place. Nor did Hans Delving, nor Philippe de Brassiere. They are all fictitious characters invented by Canadian author Wallace Reyburn for his wholly satirical "history" of the brassiere published in 1972, Bust-Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling and the Development of the Bra. Reyburn based the names on crude, if memorable, puns — Otto Titzling ("tit-sling"), Hans Delving ("hands delving"), Philippe de Brassiere ("fill up the brassiere").

nonethe less I completely agree with the rest of it, especially
We truly are the envy of the world, if we can just convince most of the ungrateful idiots who live here.
Hey, at least he's not black. Come on someone had to draw the parallel. Little turdo, with the LSM at his back, can go a long way to making in roads with the hearts and minds of the Canadian un-dead.

Sadly, after seeing the outcome of the recent US election I would bet justin will be the next Canadian PM..
Posted by: Sleepingcoyote at November 24, 2012 10:47 PMLouis the Fourteenth banned lawyers from New France. People had to plead or defend their case before a trio of magistrates who decided the outcome and the punishment.
New France had an excellent land system for more than 200 years until the Brits took over, abolished the traditional land system and told families they could buy the family farm at a 'fair market value' or move. Instrumental in the conquest and disenfranchisement was the Brit's judicial system imposed on the people with the one judge and solicitors. Many moved from Quebec to the then western Territories of the US and New England. Brit Loyalists from the US moved in. The Brits did a similar conquest of Ireland, and we see how well that worked out over time.

That's what "Je me souviens" / "I remember" is all about. That history underlies the conflict that exists today.
Separation is probably the only way it will ever be resolved, so why wait any longer? Quebec should leave confederation now, do their own thing, and keep their Trudeau dynasty. They can keep their Hydro Power, but pay world price for the West's oil.

Posted by: dmorris at November 24, 2012 10:53 PMThe Ottawa media must want the Conservatives to lose that Calgary riding real bad .As soon as the link to the debate livestream came up on twitter tonight , Coyne started sniping at Joan Crockatt , the conservative candidate , then he must have phoned O'Malley because she started potshots about 2 minutes after . Be a real blow to Harper if they lose it , they figure. Looks like it might be close .

cantuc, that is the case, the media here has been real horny on turdo shiney pony and this phoney Locke fellow. Seems Locke enjoys the vegetarians of Banff rather than the big balls risk taking oilmen of Calgary, along with portebello mushrooms on a bed of snivelling soy beans or whatever, anyway the constant woodies for everything Justin within the antique media here, is very telling here in Alberta, if anyone thinks these media twits are not sheep in the same slimy excrement filled cross Canadamedia manger, they only need to look to the Alberta media, denigrating the most successful province in the country, hoping for a Locke victory, all while trumpeting the virtues of liberalsim, Justinism, Iggnatieffism Cretienism etc which Conservatives know, include theft graft cronyism pork barreling and every other thing, honest people in the west, stay far away from.

Posted by: north_of_60 at November 25, 2012 2:28 AMCoyote,
No worries there. When you look at it Obama ran a harper style campaign. Defonenopponent early with less than flattering ads. Don't talk specifics and avoid trouble in the debate....oh and get out the vote.
Romney did as well as he did because he did not run an Iggy campaign. He would have been better to run the harper 2006 campaign, as a challenger. Message a day to keep the media on their toes.
Obama did almost lose. The sandy star turn helped him or broke mitts momentum. But the get out the vote, whether tainted by fraud or not, was better on o AMA's part.
Mitt got defined and couldn't crack it. The libs and media tried to define harper in 2006 but the message a day substance helped break through. By the end even the media knew harper was something real.
Mitt avoided specifics. A legit strategy that worked for o lamao in 2008. But there he could avoid specifics as challenger....wave election. Mitt counted on this being g the same...was almost right.
As for silky pony. Trust me, there is a "book" on Justin now that will be unleashed if he wins. Mulcair was a different story and a different opponent. Skilled polutuician that is harder to pre define.
Libs are in a tough spot. They need the freshness of Justin but they also need someone more skilled and smart. They are really in quite a box and the mistake goes back to electing dion, that sets the chain of events up.
Harper, though, has his focus on mulcair. A resurgent nut insufficiently strong liberal party will help. The cons may want Trudeau if he siphons votes away from the NDP in Quebec. Those voters aren't cons a d never will be.
One way or another Justin will not be prime minister.

Posted by: Soccermom at November 25, 2012 11:58 AMIt's bad enough that, generally speaking, the press are in the tank for the left, and that they'll willingly run interference for them. Most of them at least try to maintain the facade that they are impartial arbiters of the facts. I'm sure many of them really believe that myth, rationalizing how a minor Tory gaffe is front page material of earth-shattering consequence while repeated assertions by Liberals that uppity Albertans need to shut up and go home barely rates a mention.
But this fawning coverage of Justin Trudeau takes the cake. The media isn't even trying to hide that they are collectively wetting their panties, gushing over the dreamboat emperor-to-be. They want a rockstar politician, an Obama of the north, to call their own.
On the plus side, it's more blatant evidence that the media have become shills, and deserve the decreased readership/viewership they have been experiencing. Everything they report concerning politics should be taken with several grains of salt.
They're still going to have a powerful affect on the next election, though. The press had their thumb on the scale for the American presidential race, giving the White House a pass on the Benghazi scandal, playing up Obama riding to the rescue of Sandy victims, etc. That can't NOT tip the scales in close races.
I think the Tories need to be reasonably worried about Justin. He will be built into a messiah, with a powerful cult of personality insulating him. Harper is not likeable. A steady hand on the tiller, yes, a competent manager of the country, yes, capable of taking a stand on principles, yes, not prone to dithering about important decisions, yes. But he just didn't give off the warm and fuzzies, which so many people think they need to feel about their Prime Minister, that the media tells them they need to feel.
My advice to the Tories would be two-fold for how to undercut a Liberal comeback under Justin. First, be able to go to the public and say "What 'Hidden Agenda'? We've had a majority for X years where we could have rammed through anything we wanted to." Be able to bury that meme, and keep the backbench muzzled so you don't give them any grounds to revive it. Second, choose an issue that really resonates with younger voters and back it to the hilt, and start it well BEFORE the election to show that you mean it. Say, decriminalization of pot. Myself, I'd recommend something tech-heavy, like Net Neutrality, or repudiating draconian laws and treaties being lobbied for by media corporations (they aren't on your side anyway). It's esoteric enough that older voters won't be swayed either way, but the younger ones will take notice. Many of them don't really trust leftist parties to follow through on their promises anyway (eg. Obama dropping any interest in same-sex marriage or pot legalization once the votes are in). Show them that you mean it, and you can siphon off their votes before they devote their energies to the Justin campaign.

Posted by: Black Mamba at November 25, 2012 4:02 PMAs a Conservative, it is the media you must defeat. The Liberal party has no voice without them. Target the right group. Political parties are nothing without someone to carry theit message. The USA election taught us that. Take back the schools, own the airwaves. Make sure your message is seen and heard in every household every hour of evry day. If you spend money spend it on turning the media conservative.
