My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
This is news? Nice of Stun Media to remind us though. Nice to point out how the cops considered taking advantage of a non-crime to embarrass an anti-poverty activist.
"To have arrested himand charged him would have served our egos a lot more. Layton was a thorn in the side of the police, siding with the anti-poverty movement in '96 or '97 ... Jack was anti-police," the ex-cop said.
"We looked at it and thought do we take advantage of this, or do we look at this like (he's) any other person, put it away and we hope this thing dies a slow death."
Too bad Stun Media didn't pursue that story of police so corrupt they consider anti-poverty movements anti-law and held informal (it appears) discussions on how to twist a non-crime into something that could harm an anti-poverty politician.
You know, come up with the names of those corrupt cops, see who, if anyone, they may have harmed throughout their careers simply because they considered those people a thorn in their sides.
That would have been hard hitting news.
Here are a few real criminal and/or corruption in politics stories that some real journalists are covering. I'm sure Stun Media will get around to them, right? Some even have busty hookers.
and a musical tribute to the four leaders in light of the latest Harris Decima. With some unsolicited advice. Because I’m not paid for this.
Stevie Harper
Quit. Lose the hairpiece. CPC: dump fatso if he won’t quit, ban him from the party. Make Diane Ablonczy leader; get rid of everyone else except Michael Chong; have all candidates take a PCL-R test - remember, high scores are bad! And make sure they read more than the Bible.
Michael Ignatieff
Quit for “personal reasons” and hand the mantle over to Bob Rae. He clearly has the support of the party. Liberals: leave the small, scandal stuff alone and focus on the big problems: accountability, access to information, torture, and environmental issues; ship Scott Brison off to Columbia to do time as a union rep and if he survives a couple of years, he may be ok; get rid of deadwood like Volpe; quit sucking up to poll results and take a strong stance on the big issues.
Jack Layton
Quit. NDP: take Broadbent on as advisor; pick a leader who has been consistent in her or his views and who won’t suck up to the ruling party for a few extra seats. Drop the kitchen table talk and remember that even rich, Canadian assholes need to be addressed, but not catered to.
Gilles Duceppe
Continue come tu le fait. If the other three were anywhere near the leader and politician you are, they be a shoe-in for a majority.
