Comment on Lies, Lies and Damnable Lies by Alison

The Star was the paper that initiated this smear 21 years ago; despite it having been thoroughly debunked in the meantime, they are dusting it off again for the election.

I live in a housing co-op and we need people with a somewhat higher income (usually teachers, healthcare workers etc) in order to make the co-op viable. We have a limited number of subsidised units (I don’t have one, though I could qualify) and people have to submit their tax returns every year to ensure they have a continued right to them. I think both Jack and Olivia had very temporary positions – elected or appointed. When people’s income exceeds the ceiling for subsidy, someone else in the co-op can gain access to it.

Yes, it is ignorance and I’m rather surprised at the Star (as opposed to the Sun) picking it up. Co-ops play an important part in revitalising neighbourhoods while ensuring that people with limited incomes can continue to live there instead of getting forced out by speculation.

I agree with the poster above! At the end of the day it just shows that there is no difference between Liberals and Conservative backers – just the same old, same old – vote for the real progressive alternative!

If this is what passes for journalism …. no memory, political bias and unchecked facts – no wonder the MSM is losing credibility.

The reputable and hard working journalists (and there are some on all three Toronto papers) should have a ‘talk’ with this dude for bringing their profession into disrespect.

hiii.
I’m sure harper is crummy, but I think what he is saying specifically, is that QEII’s first child was a son. and his first child is a son. so for at least the next two generations, this debate will be purely academic.

that said, if , william has a daughter first. I would like for her to be the succeeding queen of canada regardless.

Read your great post early this morning before I dashed off to work, wrote “Yes!” here, and got a little note from your bossy combox editor : “Your message is a little short – please try again.” Lols. So here it is again with a few more words added to please the bossy combox editor :

Yes!

Thank you so much for writing this, you have no idea how succinctly it sums up my own thoughts/frustrations on the subject.

Comment on Stephen Harper – He’s Not In It For You! by Damon

Yeah, David, guess the Liberals are trying to take the high road. There’s also evidence that a lot of voters are tuning out attack ads. I’m hoping they’ll have a field day with the “scary Quebec separatists” as Harper wants to portray them, just as this article did http://pepperpot.ca/society-an.....tion-from/. Too funny.
