I was away all day and missed all the fun in finding out not only do Harper and the Conservatives claim that certain experts in their field support their specific policies when they really don’t, but they also like to copy stuff word for word from other leaders - commonly known as plagiarism.
This was [...]

As you may remember, I mentioned we had a CBC crew at the Progressive Bloggers BBQ a couple of weeks back getting some clips for their Susan Ormiston Online show, and also saying they were doing some stuff on CBC’s The National. That evening has apparently come, according to an email from the CBC producer [...]

UPDATE @ 1:24 pm: My thoughts on the ad.
Another ad linking the economy to the environment by the Liberals, as well as bringing in the world perspective on going green and showing the links to the economy. I particularly like the showing of the US flag, and the newspaper clipping on jobs (if you read [...]

I didn’t watch the Mccain/Obama debate last night, so I don’t have an opinion on who won or who lost, but I note that all the snap polls and study groups this AM favour Obama. Some mention is made of how McCain came across as angry and not ever looking at Obama while debating.
