Global and CTV not enough?

Well as the Houses of Commons opens for yet another session, I see that members of the governing Liberal party have taken it upon themselves to push for a resolution to the ongoing labour destruction at the state broadcaster, the CBC.

On Mike Duffy Live, that we now have the Liberal House Leader, Toney Valeri, also suggesting that it would be great to have the CBC back on the air. The Hon. Valeri is very much supportive of the efforts of Joe Fontana to ensure that the state broadcaster is back on the air. This is in addition to Sam Bulte’s support of the CBC (see side bar on http://cbcontheline.ca/). Of course all this pales in comparison to Jack Layton’s shameless courting of locked out CBC workers. Jack has been a CBC lockout tour of sorts – he has managed to walk lines from coast to coast with a stop over at the centre of the universe and Winnipeg (I'm sure I am missing some of the tour spots).

Of course, this all begs the question, why are the Liberals and the NDP so concerned about the CBC? It seems Canadians are more worried about the price of gas….

This is justice?

Reading this article about the use of plea bargaining reminds on how they should not be accepted for several crimes (i.e., gun related offences). However, reading the case of Mr. Hill takes the cake as one of the worst examples of allowing judges to accept a plea bargin. All I can say is that this pedophile should be locked up for a lot longer than a mere 3 ½ years. Read the article at the Edmonton Sun for more on this case of so called "justice".
