These people like Izzy ands Awish need far more scrutiny than the average Mo, good on Harpers people to vet these 3 little piggies. Wail on Craig Oliver, the hemororoids you have are courtesy of Iggula no doubt.
What was that word Layton’s been using in one of the NDP ad’s? Deceitful? Odd turn of events isn’t it.
Volunteered and knew Brad Field. Closer to the full story. But when asked to send something out to a list of MP’s not many people add in a volunteer teen.
So the $1 million dollar question is simply did she start the ball rolling on that poll pushing? Was Brad Field’s office alerted to the only poll by the teen? Is that how she made it into an email addressed mostly to MPs and staff?
Aslam claims she’s no longer an NDP member, yet Layton is on record saying she “is” an NDP supporter. They really need better coordination on their official storyline…
Always suspicious of a columnist named after the daughter of a famous TV witch.

Guess she forgot about the RCMP poking a pregnant woman at a Liberal rally. Cue crickets chirping.
Sad part is for me is she may be related to one of my favourite poets.
Rejected at the door, were ya Jess?
I heard that scientists were going to do an analysis of left-wing brains, but they’re having too much difficulty locating one.
I suppose Jeese you’re also so concerned about democracy in Canada that you’ve been demanding Jack Layton and Michael Ignatieff explain why they blocked Bill C-12 which would have provided BC, Alberta and Ontario with their fair share of seats? Oh right, you’re only interested in a watered down version of democracy.
It seems odd that she would be included in an email with NDP MPs at only 16 or 17. Is there any confirmation, other than MSM reporters, that she is just 19 years old?
The media keeps going on about the story, saying that she was going to the meeting with a friend who’s father was a Conservative. The implication is that she also had Conservative leanings and therefore, the officials at the meeting made a serious error and “proof” that the CPC is too tightly controlled.
Not so.
No one with Conservative ties would have gone to the media with the story, especially during an election. One might have been miffed with the local officials, but they would never hurt the party nationally for 15 minutes of fame.
This alone should have tipped off the so-called “journalists” to a scam.
It was a setup from the beginning and it was obvious.
Jess: Just how brain-dead are you?
Oh, Never mind. Just re-read your 7:20 post! Sorry…As you were… Oh look. a shiny thing!…
Does anyone find the fact the people turned away were both visible minorities? The unstated conclusion was the PM is a racist and they should stick to the Liberals? CBC isn’t letting the truth be told in the discussion threads and I don’t think the NDP has a hope with immigrants. They are closer to what most left behind.
But if they want to play that game the ratings on Iggy at Kennedy SOG also said he disliked Ukranians, Mexicans and a few other ethnic groups.
The Iggy big white tent with the eyeholes isn’t far from reality. Right Senor Iggy?
I remember a time when heckling was an acceptable part of elections. The trouble we have now is how a heckling event is reported. Optics over substance wins everytime. I have been to a political event where heckling was present and the hecklers were deftly handled by the politician. But surprise, surprise, by the next day the media had focused on the heckler and completely left out the politician’s witty response. I don’t blame politicians who try to prevent it from starting.
Jess,
the suggestion that people ‘wet themselves’ after 911 is repugnant. Troll if you wish, but please do not be so disgusting.
Ugh.
Rick: Aslam is on record now admitting it.
but you right wingers have a thing for right wing 3rd world police states don’t you.
That’s right, and just as soon as Harper gains a majority we’re going to repeal child labour laws and put you to work.
