  1. Fixed – sorry about that, I was using a shortcut from comments. I’ve updated it with the post it was attached to (that I didn’t know about – thanks!)

  2. OT
    Here’s an affront to all Canuckistanic Moonbats that worship at the Altar of Environ”mentalism”:
    The Only Scientist at COP-11
    and BTW, I am not at all suprised that Canucks and/or Moonbats were puzzled at reading the actual words from the US Constitution in a previous post. Again, it does not contain the words ANYWHERE in the document “separation of church and state.”
    Chew on that you Castro Boot-licks.

  3. That was one helluva interview! LOL. That woman is a charm!
    She’s right. If Prime Minister High and Mighty is going to close his “Public Pronouncement” to the public, then go to your “Private” health clinic or something. Don’t go to a public community center.

  4. Someone give that woman a riding to run in. This is the most honest, unbiased, person-on-the street interview I have EVER seen.
    She gives me hope that not all canadians are mindless sheep. Such clarity, truth and honesty in her words! She cut right through the spin, right through the BS.
    Good on her for calling Martin on his (repeated) failed promises!

  5. What a treat to watch. I’m sure they were expecting a Dithers-Love-a-thon and that young lady dropped the bomb on thier orchestrated “man on the street”. Well Done!!!

  6. I particularly enjoyed the arrogance behind her & her mother not being “allowed” to enter/participate, and then the johnny-come-lately “oh, we can possibly find them a spot”… too bad they couldn’t give them a seat BEFORE the reporter asked the question.

  7. I just heard the CTV interview on our local news. This is what she said on the clip “It’s been four months and we haven’t got any information on what happened to my brother. We’ve been hearing a lot of promises and it’s good to know that now they’re banning guns.”

    Vancouver police say the Liberal campaign promise to ban handguns in Canada wouldn’t do much to cut down on gun violence in the city. >>>

  9. kdl, I saw that too – I’m betting it was after they were allowed in to the meeting, and probably treated like royalty, and possibly showcased. Of course, maybe I’m just a cynic. Good thing the clip was saved.

  10. Election in Iraq: 15 November, 2005.
    Victory in Iraq!!!!!!
    Long live freedom and democracy!!!!!
    Commentary
    Victory when it came, was both greater and less; more partial and more complete than expected. It did not take the European form of parades down the Champs Elysee, followed by a return to old and establish ways of governance. What the destruction of the Ba’athist regime did was reanimate long suppressed local and ethnic interests and channel them into competition through the ballot box — with the occasional recourse to violence. Tremendous forces have been unleashed which critics of the war will point to as signs of an incipient civil war, but which supporters of OIF will describe as a newly liberated society feeling its way forward.
    Whether OIF has wrenched events in the Middle East from their old tracks and put them on a better route remains to be seen. What is less debateable is that OIF has subtly changed America. The Armed Forces have acquired capabilities they never had before. Bill Roggio in Patrolling Haqlaniyah describes three-tour veterans who can talk politics with Iraqis. For many individual Americans Iraq is now something less than home and something more than a foreign country. For America as a whole, one thing that no politician will dispute in 2008 is that aside from being a European and Pacific power — which it has been since the end of the Second World War — the US is now a part of the strategic landscape of the Middle East and Central Asia. >> more

  11. If you guys think Roger Smith was hoping for a Paul Martin loveathon, you clearly don’t know Roger Smith. Or television for that matter. It’s a great bit of TV.

  12. 50 people get shot within 20 sq miles and the rest of law-abiding non drug-dealing canada has to give up what’s left of their rights to self defence and sell off their gun collections and avail themselves to the predators around them with nothing but rolling pins. Liberal Logic – gotta love it. They actually believe that even Torontonians are that stupid… well one fine young lady there isn’t.

  13. Kate:
    That clip and the alternative interview ctv news actually aired should be mandatory for day 1 of term 1 of any journalism school.
    Magnificent.

  14. yyc – Kate’s on vacation. But thanks. Something tells me that the journalism schools won’t buy into your plan. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

  15. Newsflash (Al-Reuters)…CBC field reporters will be equipped immediately with microphones that amplify background noise in proportion to the squeezing force applied to the microphone by the reporter’s hand. When the reporter applies the maximum squeeze to the mike, the speech of the interviewee transmits as a totally incoherent random sounding jumble. The clarity has best been described as trying to discern a meowing kitten 5 feet from a jet engine exhaust. This is required to address the CBC’s growing problem of airing difficult impromptu interviews during the current federal election campaign.
