The Audacity Of Vacations
Jane Taber sets the agenda at the Globe and Mail, and since returning from her vacation she has been a busy little bee. Today's agenda is complaining that the Prime Minister has taken the last week to spend time with his family. It is okay for Jane to take a vacation because all she does is set the agenda, where the Prime Minister has the responsibility of governing the country. Yesterday's agenda was complaining that the Tories were shadowing the Liberal Express, and today it is complaining that the top Tory is not shadowing enough. The audacity, errr hypocrisy, of vacations! I'm sure Liberals never take vacations (how much time has Ignatieff spent at his villa in Europe over the last 4 years?) At least the PM stays in the Ottawa area getting daily briefings such that he can continue governing the country. It should also be noted that the PM very rarely takes vacations, certainly when compared to his Liberal counterpart.

You need to lower your standards when you read/tune into the media products from Toronto.
ReplyDeleteOther than CTV National News most of the Canadian content fares poorly.
This is another reason for SunTV as they believe their product mix may be more appealing.
It appears a few angry people are not comfortable with competition or that Canadians don't trust their opinion on these matters.
The internet and inability to adapt has broken the old Canadian model.
International television stations continue to take the eyes away from the substandard product produced in Toronto.
If what Jane Taber matters at all to Canadian politics I'd be concerned.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't and I'm not.
Kory Teneycke today on CFRA, talking about Sun TV.
ReplyDeleteJane should go on permanent vacation.
ReplyDeleteIvison pointed out today on the Rosemary Barton Show that the Prime Minister very rarely takes vacations, and one week might be the longest since he has been PM.
