Thanks for the link Dave, I did watch that video and here are my thoughts.

1. Michael Coren? Had a run in with him years ago, and a friend recently had a whole Column written about him in regards to the Robo-Call scandal and Nation wide protest 2 weeks ago. Couldn't care less for the man as he has no Journalistic Integrity and baited my friend to turn around and write a column about him. And yes, he even admitted to such stupidity in his column.

2. Quoting Michael Coren in said video, "At what the Tories did?" - This implies he believes that the Conservatives are behind the Robo Calls, and as we all know this was Illegal. But moving on.

3. They did a GREAT job in misrepresenting the Leadnow.ca website and what it actually is about, talk about bad journalism. Yes the leadnow.ca site says "over 40,000 emails sent" this is correct but what isn't correct is what they are claiming those emails entail. If you go to the site you are faced with a pre-filled letter that simply states you are concerned over the recent allegations of electoral fraud within the Government and that you would like a Full Public Inquiry into the matter. You than "sign" your name with your Postal Code included and it sends that email off to The PM, your local MP and MPP. These are not infact "Robo-Call complaints" that are being sent. I should know, I signed it.

4. I also took offense to Mr. Corens implication that only people without lives are outraged over the robo call scandal and that "real canadians" have better things to do with their time. Sorry but what better things are there to do than to protect ones democracy?

And finally read an update on Elections Canadas Investigation of it all. Seems a little more indepth than just some smart ass guy trying to have a little fun with a few voters. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle2379712/

Sorry Tara, but Michael Coren has a British accent. It is therefore incontrovertable that he is an intellectual giant compared to the rest of us and we should simply accept his assertians as gospel truth.

Well Dave I expect no different a response from His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji, Doctor DaveP, Lord of the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Canada in general and Cape Breton in Particular, uncrowned King of Antartica. lol I kid. I kid!

Can I make a friendly request though? Shorten your Moniker please?!

I should clarify: I'm a Conservative and as such I will defer only to a MALE British accent as all Conservatives are male chauvinists..

My fake British accent is not much better than Madonna's.

I can do a great Eastern European accent & while sporting a beret. I've also been known to wear a trenchcoat & carry a briefcase filled with Monopoly money.

Pretty much my ancestry too. Took a while for me to forgive the English for all the poopheadness they inflicted on my ancestors in the past. Someone pointed out to me that all the english baddies died long ago which tempered my wish to kick Queen Elizabeth II in the netheryaya.
