CBC News: "Harper dodges U.K.'s 'hanging' political debate"

Evidently the CBC expects Prime Minister Harper to publicly state his opinion on Britain's parliamentary negotiations, which makes absolutely no sense at all. Even if the CBC thinks that we should be telling them how to run their country, there is nothing the PM can do to affect the outcome. What do they really expect Stephen Harper to say about it? What if he endorses Cameron and Brown forms a coalition? Then our PM would be on bad terms with the government of a close ally. We can't affect who forms their government, and have to work closely with whoever does! The only play is to wait and see what happens, and then work with the winner. Trying to affect the outcome is not in anyone's best interest.  It makes no sense for our Prime Minister to get involved now, and in fact it is really stupid for the CBC to make this a partisan issue.

  1. The bias is obviously so much a part of their world view, they simply don't seem to see what they are doing.

  2. CBC..BBC..CBC..BBC... Are they in PANIC mode?

    Where the he!! else in the western world is there a solely government funded media? The reality I suspect is that this would most certainly be a cut in the UK...should it be a Conservative led argh....coalition....

    CBC, need to be on the Canadian radar re privatization and the PM is SMART, he know the bait and switch routine frome these clowns.
    That is what they are doing, as usual. All about THEM, ALL of the time.

  3. Watching CTV tonight was a pathetic smear job, and it wasn't even a special one. It was just smear as usual. With the socialist states folding one after another in Europe, you'd think they'd wake up to the fact that "Cuts are a coming" and in no uncertain terms.

  4. Just anther cut and paste for the CP, perhaps...

    bottom of article;
    'With files from the Canadian Press'

    Our Libluvin media are all pretty wide-eyed watching how this British coalition thing is unfolding.
    Imagine that! The lefties first choice ( as king makers) is the WINNER of the most seats.

    British parliamentary experts say Clegg (the orange party) joining Labour would be an illegitimate 'coalition of losers'...lol
    Where have we heard that before?

  6. Just more of the same old retardation from the same old Toronto retards.

    You really have to wonder how these idiots could write and produce this kind of idiocy and not see how idiotic it shows them as. You’d really think that they could see that, but they don’t.

    Not that I’m complaining, I fully support them in damaging their reputation even more than they have. It’ll make axing their funding so much easier when the time is ripe.

  7. It seems to me like there are a lot of twits who don't understand that while Canada and Britain share a similar Westminster-style Parliamentary system, those two systems are also founded on differing Constitutional frameworks and different Constitutional traditions.

    British uncertainty in the case of a hung Parliament has likely been magnified by the fact that, compared to Canada, they've had so few. Britain's experiencing its first hung Parliament since 1974. Meanwhile, Canada is currently dealing with its fourth such situation during that time.

    We're more experienced in dealing with such issues than the British.

    Moreover, the reality of a hung Parliament was clear during the campaign, and so a lot of talk went on about coalitions during the actual campaign. Not like in Canada, when Stephane Dion explicitly rejected the notion of a coalition during the election, just to try to foist it on Canadians after.

    There are a lot of conditions that make the kind of discussions taking place between the Tories and Lib Dems democratically tolerable. They are in place in Britain. They were not in place in Canada, except to the ideologically-motivated.
