From Sept 23rd, 2008......

Jim Abbott (C, Cranberries) states repeatedly that the Government of Stephen Harper has RAISED funding for the arts, on 'As It Happens'..........This is allowed to stand. Specifically, there is no demand that Mr. Abbott to explain how the Cons have, as they so often do, just changed the definition of what 'art' is.

Donald Copeman, the owner of private health clinics who has just opened his latest one in Calgary, compares himself favorably to Tommy Douglas on 'The Current'...........Incredibly, especially given that Mr. Copeman is charging people $4,000 a year to 'join' his private, for profit, operation, this rhetorical ju-jitsu is allowed to stand unchallenged.

On the flip-side, yesterday's interview on 'As It Happens' with former Nuclear Safety watchdog Linda Keen is very much worth listening to. Even better is a fantastic slice of life piece that takes place in the taxi of a Halifax cabbie who asks each of his fares who they are going to vote, is pure Gzowski (should be up here, by tomorrow).
