What can I say the election is here and it's taking up so much air space. This could just turn into a daily commentary of the stupidity of the Conservative camp. It seems never ending, which really makes me wonder about the reality that these conservative yahoos might actually be steering our country into waters unknown.
So what exactly was the latest debacle...........
"Sarrow was suspended yesterday for suggesting that Davis, whose son Cpl. Paul Davis died in Afghanistan in 2006, criticized Harper's commitment to withdraw Canadian troops in 2011 because he is a Liberal supporter.
"Somebody in our war room sent out an inappropriate email questioning the motivation of a father of a deceased Canadian soldier who questioned our policy in Afghanistan," Harper said at a campaign event in St-Eustache, Que. "That individual has been suspended from the campaign." ........from the Star.
That's not to say the Liberals or now even the NDP are pristine. Let's get real. However .........
"despite Harper's pledge on Sunday not to get "personal and nasty," the Conservative campaign has now twice been forced to apologize for mistakes."
Plus it would really, really be nice if the Television ads did not spend there time discrediting the other parties but actually spent time promoting the various platforms.
I am loathed by the fact that our Government is continually trying to bring in American political campaigning style tactics here. I will even go as far to say that the government did indeed change legislation so that advertising rules did not apply to them. So it's a free for all as far as the government is concerned. So propaganda and media censorship seems to not be far behind.
Now that being said I surely hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and enjoy the many festivals going on out there and avoids the constant barrage of political B.S.
