Dammit Janet has uncovered the failed Ottawa Centre Liberals attempt to be cleverly underhanded. Scott Bradley's campaign is misquoting Ottawa Center MP and NDP candidate Paul Dewar in an attempt to portray the NDP as being anti-civil servant. It is pretty amazing that they would attempt to attack Paul on an issue in which he has been out front and centre for the past five years. From supporting PSAC initiatives, to fighting for the (now deceased) National Portrait Gallery, to demanding accountability from the National Capital Commission, Paul has been the federal civil servants best friend. Go check out Dammit Janet's excellent blog post.
Every morning I grab the Globe and Mail to get my blood boiling. If the NDP is lucky enough to be mentioned, it is usually some sort of cheap shot. Headlines like "Layton gets testy when questioned about small rally participation" seems at odd with the report fact that there were over 400 people attending that particular rally. Maybe Harper's staged events where questions are limited to a total of five (and missing the important issues of voters) is more their speed.
When I am satisfied that I have been thoroughly abused by Canada's national newspaper, I go and visit the Jurist. Consistently excellent, regularly updated, and calling BS as it appears - Accidental Deliberations provides a great tell it like it is view point.
