Where's William?

First, let us commend Munir Sheikh on his integrity for standing by his principles. These days, even finding someone with principles, let alone living them, is rare.

Soon after 1066, the Domesday Book was compiled by William I, in his newly conquered England. It was considered to be a great administrative step forward in the future progress of the U.K. Now, almost a thousand years later, Stephen Harper wants to muffle the practice. His wishes are unclear...

Today, the call is "Can we find a compromise?" What rubbish! There are so many real problems in our country. Denmark has far more information on its citizens and I find Denmark to be one of the most democratic countries in the world.

Amazon.ca, The Musical Heritage Society of Canada, Revenue Canada - and pharmacy Jean Coutu, when I take in film for processing - know far too much about me already! What more can the federal government need to know?

Mr. Harper is, again in the mire and, after slapping his boys, Clement et al,  for insubordination, is trying to extricate himself. How I wish the leader of the Liberal Party would interrupt his, "I'm just one of you guys" BBQ tour and do something useful to help create a real opposition.

All Clear!

"Let me be clear...;" "It's clear to everyone...;" "There's a clear explanation...;" When anyone in the political world uses the word "clear" what follows they hope, is probably unclear to everyone. "Clear" is a favourite word of Stephen Harper among others. The Liberal Party leader prefers, "It's as simple as that!" Each implies that if we don't find what they say to be "clear" or "simple", we are not too bright. Just like the courtiers in The Emperor's New Clothes?

As they used to say in WWII, is that "All Clear"?

A Comedy of Errors!

Iggy should be laughing a lot as the P.M. gets deeper in the mire with the Jaffer scandal, and Richard Colvin revealing the truth with respect to the Afghan fiction. However, the polls continue to show the Tories rising!

"It's as simple as that," Iggy replies to all or any questions, while never looking at the camera. When will those Liberal back-room boys get the message? OK, they turfed out Stephane Dion and fell over themselves to induct their famous candidate.

This has to be the greatest-ever comedy or spoof in Canadian politics. Unfortunately, the joke's on us!
