A Sampling of Today's National Newswatch Headlines

These are currently on National Newswatch:

• Trudeau wears bulletproof vest after security threat delays campaign rally
• Truth Tracker: Conservative ads falsely say Liberals will legalize all drugs

Scheer defended the ads on Saturday

•  Corporation fined $18K for funnelling money into ‘kamikaze’ UCP leadership campaign
• CBC sues the Conservative party over copyright, ‘moral rights’ of journalists
• Conservative plan would cut $35.4B to balance books
• The ‘excessively violent’ election ad, paid for by the Manning Centre

But he acknowledged the ads do not reflect the personal style of founder Preston Manning, the former Reform Party leader.
“Preston Manning’s more deliberative approach to politics, I think that died 20, 30 years ago in this country,” Lanigan said. “The nature of where we’re headed now is far removed from the more deliberative discussions we were having in the 1990s. How we move policy in this country and other western countries has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. I’m not saying I like it.”

In other words, winning is more important than any kind of ethics.  Preston Manning is someone who I once respected for his apparent integrity although I disagreed with him on policy.  His silence on the recent stories is very telling.

And so it goes.  The people in aggregate have a certain wisdom when elections come around.  I ma concerned that the collective wisdom is being oveerun this time by a party willing people with no integrity and are willing to tell any lie to serve their masters.Recommend this Post
