Smarter than I gave him credit for?
If the leaked testimony is true—and there's still plenty more to come—then I might have to consider taking Stephen Harper off my bad list. I had assumed his capitulation on the federal budget's Kyoto measure was because he was too fraidy-cat to risk triggering an election over a silly thing like conservative principles.
It now seems plausible that the Liberals were eager to get Harper to trigger an election over a central Canadian-friendly issue, like Kyoto, because they know that once the Gomery stuff went public, voters might actually reach their nausea threshold and throw the bums out. If that's true, their timing's a little off: If it turns out that the buzz about the Bloc's no-confidence motion is for real, then it'll be an election about something a lot less marketable than Kyoto. That'll be way more fun.

"Criticism of the current government is a proper thing for the Official Opposition to engage in, but the kind of mud slinging shit from South of the Border, has no place in this country."

If you can't handle free speech, you don't deserve it.

Texan,
Just ignore him, he's a raving moonbat losing the battle and will babble about anything, unrelated to the subject to justify his position.
Hell, he says I'm a traitor and I should be on trial for treason, I'm a separatist, I'm a necon, I'm a psycho because I refuse to submit to his batty views. Guess that's what working in a university and having an edumacation does to ya. Makes you want to just live the free ride for ever. It's kinda the moonbat way.
The regime is falling and they be gettin desperate..

someone has to tell JG that he's no longer in the military, and that it is okay to think for himself. It's a hard habit to break, but I'm sure even he can do it.

You you cannot engage in political dialog with "civility", you have no place in Canada.

Mean Joe Green:

Canada, from my perspective, could use a helluva lot less civility and quite a bit more in the way of civil rights. The whole idea of a publication ban on testimony germane to the public interest is just plain crazy. (How's that for "civility"?)
