This is sad. Canadian taxes pay for THIS? I was checking for where I could watch and hear the Conservative Party of Canada debate on Sunday (March 7, 04) and this is what I noted:
When I was trying to locate an alternate to CPAC, I went to various media/news sites -- CTV, CanWest Global, and then CBC. What was on the CBC site was instructive.
In their list of interviews/discussions with political candidates, it appears that Stephen Harper was never interviewed and that the interview with Belinda Stronach received larger font size than that with Tony Clement. Why? Just listen to the CBC and you'll get the picture. They're playing Paul Martin's card on the scary West as epitomized by Mr. Harper.
At I searched the National Post Site using these words, "conservative party of canada, debate, March 07, 04" and there was nothing/zero/zip!
News Junkie believes that no subject should be outside the realm of debate in a democratic society. ... To Stimulate Debate in Canada: News, ... in enforcing party unity, and ... Conservative leadership contest yesterday, sowing doubts about opponent Stephen Harper's ability to unify the party...
This is a misreading of my actual words -- as though I were negative about Stephen Harper. I am not! Be careful of what a mindless machine picks up from your site -- or what those who support a particular candidate can (pay to?) make appear in a database. What this search picked up is part of a sentence from my post, Concerning Belinda Stronach: What is Missing -- in Emphasis, in Policy? , Mar. 3, 04 and there is much missing. Scroll down or link and find out. I do not like this kind of thing; it distorts the intent of what I have written -- but I suppose it is politics as usual in Canada. NJC
