...Agree Anon, Chantel seemed to lose it last night.<br />Red face and all!<br />It's ok for Charest to attack the Government of Canada on the world stage at Copenhagen,<br /> and then do it again in Canada, with PMSH standing right beside him.<br />And anyone is Quebec that attacks anything Albertan is given a round of applause.<br /><br />But boy, don't anyone EVER criticize anything Quebec...it's an attack on all Quebecers!!!!<br />You're causing a unity problem!!<br />You're giving the separatists ammo!<br /><br />Chantel got it back in the eye though, when she was ranting about this govt attacking Ontario tax policy,<br /> 'invest anywhere but Ontario',<br />Coyne pointed out that the McGuinty govt in the end said the feds were right.<br /><br />And the Harper govt is right here too.<br />It is folly for one province to go it alone on an international file.<br />Quebec just made themselves less competitive in their own country.wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589410224972050999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-36763559650304554972010-02-05T07:53:01.463-08:002010-02-05T07:53:01.463-08:00She's using the tactic of bashing any and ever...She's using the tactic of bashing any and everything the Conservatives do or say.<br /><br />This is the new normal we can expect from the Toronto media. <br /><br />The total abandonment of journalistic principles and the descent into the becoming a Confederacy of Liars is something they learned from the same people they get all their ideas from, the US Media and Democratic party.Blame Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736137844334640019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-81236819089148140702010-02-05T07:13:42.561-08:002010-02-05T07:13:42.561-08:00Hey you "must be right!" Haha a thought...Hey you "must be right!" Haha a thought so nice Mansbridge said so twice when talking about bloggers and then about FOX News. The funny part is that they were talking about Danny Billions snub to the sacred health care cow. We are right! Too Funny. <br />I think Andrew did the right thing to set Chantal straight. The Oil Sands get a long finger wag from the Environment Minister and it would have been completely ignored by the lame stream if it had not been for the Charest snipe. Our guys are smarter than the best of them can fathom and I like it that way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162628029353058623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-83988462600228185272010-02-05T07:03:05.203-08:002010-02-05T07:03:05.203-08:00This is exactly why the government has to step up ...This is exactly why the government has to step up to the plate and ask for a debate on global warming and it's got to be done before provincial premiers can do any further harm.NeilDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540312603430027212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-89197709653471783262010-02-05T06:58:35.140-08:002010-02-05T06:58:35.140-08:00I normally don't mind the woman's point of...I normally don't mind the woman's point of view, but this is just stupid...Hinchey's Storehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118851443934204772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-59023633701812969662010-02-05T03:52:07.871-08:002010-02-05T03:52:07.871-08:00Ice:

Iggy has this misconception firmly intrenched in his mind by the way.<br />From their POV, anything Quebec does the ROC should follow orders and mirror their legislative agenda, be it the environment, daycare, or language.<br />It comes from decades of having a rep by pop system that made sure Quebec had just enough seats to sway the election results. Any threat to that formula, is seen as bashing by the intellegensia of Quebec.<br />So again, it wasn't what Chantal said that was significant, it was her avoidance (and apparently Coynes discretion) that stopped the discussion short of pointing to the silverback in the corner.gimbolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-53595532211583935512010-02-05T03:24:04.773-08:002010-02-05T03:24:04.773-08:00Hebert also said CBC was necessary for the unity o...Hebert also said CBC was necessary for the unity of Canada (mainly Quebec). Usually, I think she's fairly objective but she's very defensive about Quebec, particularly left-wing Quebec.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-59544214563951813202010-02-05T03:06:42.630-08:002010-02-05T03:06:42.630-08:00Besides the misuse of the word decimated (it means...Besides the misuse of the word decimated (it means (one out of ten taken out as the Romans took one out of ten soldiers) by Chantal, she forgets that there are a lot of small car owners and clunker owners in Quebec as compared to other provinces, so Charest doesn't deserve any big points for encouraging Quebeckers not to buy big cars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6573500847704693761.post-76852092637760600962010-02-05T01:41:33.479-08:002010-02-05T01:41:33.479-08:00Yep, I think Hebert has finally lost it.

She is normally pretty astute but she is watching a two year old sticking pencils up his nose and tries to make sense of it by blaming the adults in the room.
