Thankyou fo...me dere,<BR/><BR/>That is absolutely disgusting! Thankyou for giving me the low-down.<BR/><BR/>The fact that Fife has now been assigned to Dion does not bode well as he is so terribly Con biased that we (the voters) will not get any truthful coverage on CTV. Makes me want to cry. So damn unfair!penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-62909140681045721282008-09-16T07:26:00.000-04:002008-09-16T07:26:00.000-04:00penlan:Talk about coverage.. last nights CTV news ...penlan:<BR/><BR/>Talk about coverage.. last nights CTV news with Loyd Robertson went like this:<BR/><BR/>"Stephan Harper announced today... (full coverage)."<BR/><BR/>"Another leader was making promises today.. *pause* .. Jack Layton was in Halifax annoucing.."<BR/><BR/>"Elsewhere on the campaign trail Gilles Doucette.."<BR/><BR/>*commercial break*<BR/><BR/>"Stephan Dion can't sell his green plan.. (no talk about any campaign promises"<BR/><BR/><BR/>Then this morning on Craig Oliver implying that because the Liberals are in Atlantic Canada he reasons that they believe they can't win and are trying to save all the ridings they can in friendly areas. What?!? It's only day 8! They've been here once. There spending as much time here as all the other parties have. Maybe even less.<BR/><BR/>Frustrating. <BR/><BR/>I think he also implied that Dion wasn't charismatic enough to be <B>opposition leader</B>! I was on my way out the door.. have to watch the clip when its posted on the ctv video site.<BR/><BR/>Sad when the media decides who wins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-48943105581832936692008-09-16T06:13:00.000-04:002008-09-16T06:13:00.000-04:00I live near London & didn't hear about har...I live near London & didn't hear about harper coming to the area either. Also, in my local, tiny newspaper there was a scathing editorial about Harper calling an election. This surprised me as it's heavily, solid-core Con country here.<BR/><BR/>Time for a change maybe? I sure hope so!penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-88337036382794960812008-09-16T06:10:00.000-04:002008-09-16T06:10:00.000-04:00One thing that has been bothering me is that, at l...One thing that has been bothering me is that, at least on CBC Newsworld (rarely watch CTV NewsNet,<BR/>is that the coverage of Harper's media events are covered from beginning to end including all questions from the press.<BR/><BR/>With Dion they always seem to cut away after he has answered a few questions. They don't fully cover the event. Same with Layton.<BR/><BR/>I want to hear the complete events. Is it because Harp is the PM, or ex-PM really, & it's expected they should cover him to the fullest?penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-19181311862478330752008-09-15T21:51:00.000-04:002008-09-15T21:51:00.000-04:00Harper was in my city today, London, Ontario.

I was in drive thru at Starbucks (I know...) and a police car was ahead of me. When I pulled up to the window the cashier said that cop was escorting the PM around London today. Uh huh. No news about it. Saw some coverage on tv later this evening. He rented the freaking huge Convention Centre downtown...or else our corrupt city hall just gave it to him free, which is more likely. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, reading Garth's blog about his signage problems, seems it's happening here too. London Fanshawe Liberal signs smashed, kicked, torn. Only happened when Conservative sign went up. NDP sign untouched. That Conservative is a woman and I'm appalled by this behaviour. She put her office right next to the Liberal MP for this riding, in the same plaza. Signs plastered all over her windows and out front. Takes some nerve to put herself right next door.<BR/><BR/>I cannot wait to see Liberals continue to climb in polls. I really hope people start listening to Dion and the press starts doing it's job!!<BR/><BR/>Also, have you seen this....<BR/>http://powerupcanada.ca/Home/Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086806136348506471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-46961281364774768072008-09-15T20:36:00.000-04:002008-09-15T20:36:00.000-04:00Robert, William...I love that you are telling me w...Robert, William...I love that you are telling me what is going on on the ground.<BR/><BR/>robert...Maher was shut down?

If they keep the pressure on and start forcing Harper to defend what he says the reaction (or explosion) will be interesting.<BR/><BR/>BTW our local Harper mouthpiece has really started out well up here. Called a press conference to spout a few Harper lines and then let the media know he will answer only questions as he determines are important. They tried 10 percenters on the first day of the election and the local media tore them apart as amature. Even the red neck media is pissed off so I am having fun watching it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-36241876049279858752008-09-15T20:02:00.000-04:002008-09-15T20:02:00.000-04:00Harper is also screening the media.
