I must be spending way too much time out in the sun this summer (when it hasn’t been raining). I just finished reading Michael Den Tandt’s piece, "It’s Time for Dion to Stand up and Fight ", and am deeply troubled.

O.K. The title seems reasonable. A so-called leader can only back down a finite number of times before losing all credibility.

However, this paragraph is what’s bothering me:

As Dion gauges his timing, he’ll be given pause by the Liberals’ continuing financial woes. But he’ll be buoyed by the generally positive press his Green Shift has gotten this summer. He knows that economic slowdowns are ripe with possibility for opposition parties. And, he’ll be sick and tired of being taunted.

I would really appreciate it if my Liberal friends can provide some links to relevant polls and news articles. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I must try to be more attentive.

Update: So far, all I’ve been able to come up with to substantiate his claim is this - Harper hist a snag. Strangely enough, it’s by the same columnist.

Funny that…

Please check out the comments following this bit of Star propaganda - Bring on fall election, Liberals say. And note the use of the word "hurled" in the Star’s ‘news’ story. (H/T to Alberta Girl).

Reid seems a bit perturbed with Den Tandt too. Glad I’m not the only one.

Sunday Update: Phantom Observer has a great post up that was listed at Jack’s Daily Blogger site - Diebel Decodes an Undeliberate Dion.

Open thread. Comments by trolls will be deleted. I will provide links of interest.

Tuesday Update: Mindelle Jacobs on cleaner places to dump your baby than a toilet. FYI.

Lifesite - Sacrilege isn’t enough for the CBC; they have to lie about it. (H/T SDA)

Wednesday Update - Another brave Jefferys teacher steps forward (Star).

Why don’t we just ban school boards that don’t enforce rules?

Also, Licia Corbella asks, “What if Dad Left Baby in Toilet?”

Well, we already know the answer to that one.

Ontario Bungling Access Requests, Report Says - Globe.

Conservative Leader John Tory said his party has submitted countless requests for government information and documents but has mostly been stonewalled.

The party says a request for information about the continuing aboriginal occupation in Caledonia still hasn’t been fulfilled after about 325 days, while other requests have taken as long as 299 days to be addressed.

Lorrie Goldstein - Youth Crime Law is a Farce.

And still a lively debate going on way back here - Critical Thinking No Longer Required…

Thursday Update: From the Gazette - A woman files a Human Rights complaint against a gay bar for tossing her out because she is female. How ironic.

So, is discrimination the entitlement of gay folks only?
