   I think it was the Anonalogue factor, whom the CBC blog strangely called “Analogue.”

   Robert,

   Wishing won’t make it so.
   I talked to a CBC flack who explained that ”It was never meant to be updated everyday.”
   Seems that the guys is busy and has other things to do.
   AS IF WE DON’T???

   The whole CBC election website is really pathetic compared to CTV. I hate to say. The only area they beat out CTV and the Liberals is on their Canada wide candidate profiles. As for JB and their mystery commentator, ho hum, very boring. CTV has the most dynamic weblog of all the MSM.

   Federal election 2006

   Let us all face it the Liberals are clearly not to be trusted. Like the Conservatives the NDP, BQ are on the right track in regard to cleaning up the Liberal corruptions. We may see the next Canadian Government begin a coalition of Conservatives and NDP instead of the NDP and Liberals. They already proved they can work together. The Liberal Federal Government already have faced the controversy even over the unethical, non official registry of their members of Parliament, Ministers as lobbyists, and their some what disturbingly too close ties between the money making lobbyists and the final Liberal government agendas… The Liberals they cannot be trusted it seems to run an honest government. All Canadians have even already been let down by the past “great achievements” promised of a government led by Prime Minister Paul Martin and most they do want a change, a deserved clean honest Government, not more Liberal lies and false promises.

   “Layton, Martin Lay Out NDP Plan to Clean Up Corruption Frank Tridico LTVNews.com Thursday, December 8 2005, 1:05PM Jack Layton and Tony Martin are laying out a specific framework to clean up corruption and make politicians accountable across Canada. “This election is an opportunity to settle the account between the citizens of Canada and the Liberal Party,” Layton said. “But after they’ve received what they deserve, what then? What can we do about the deep and systemic rot the Liberals have permitted to seep into our federal government?” Tony Martin state, “The Liberals still haven’t learned any lessons from the Gomery Report. Right across the land you still hear Liberals with their thinly veiled threats to Canadians to vote for them if people expect to get anything in their riding. Does corruption and arrogance not apply to them?” Layton laid out a detailed plan to clean up corruption and make politicians accountable too..

   Having federal elections every 18 months is also a good move so are the Minority governments for that is what makes the Liberals, and their PM Paul Martin to do good things for the citizens.. but sadly the Liberals are known still to be liars and are still very much unlikely to keep their elections promises….

   The Liberal Paul Martin as the new Prime Minister of Canada came to office promising a more mature relationship with the Americans but he worked towards rather a deterioration in the relationship with the US since Paul martin had came into power in 2003.This week an angry Bush administration official demanded and received a meeting with Canadian ambassador Frank McKenna to complain about Prime Minister Paul Martin’s attacks on U.S. environmental policy, U.S. sources say. Paul Martin accused the Americans earlier this week of being deaf to global opinion on the need to sign the Kyoto Protocol. The White House took Paul Martin’s rebuke as cheap electioneering during the campaign leading to the Jan. 23 vote, the sources said. Their meeting with McKenna took place earlier this week in Washington.
   -Paul Martin has not resolved with the US the mad cow US sales restrictions
   -and he Paul Martin has not been able to obtain a negotiated settlement for the US Lumber trade dispute..
   -and he Paul Martin has not been able to deal with the every increasing US border travel resitrictions
   -amongst many other issues with the US too..

   so much for the too often lying Liberal promises, and the reality bikes back.. And the Liberal team are clearly are caught spin doctoring again with the income trust affair.. the unacceptable alleged budget leak
   Prime Minister Paul Martin looks at a red wine while visiting a winery in Beamsville, Ont. Sunday. Mind you this is not what real Professing Christians tend to do especially on Sunday.. and this is not a rare occasion for the PM Paul Martin who has been giving out free beer too it seems.. as I have detailed here elsewhere too.. But Paul Martin the PM is still too often associated with alcoholic beer, he and his party members too… Liberal party workers, members have pizza and beer parties too. The New Liberals- more Alcoholics at the taxpayer’s expenses too. Unacceptable. and next the PM Paul Martin will likely like Premier Ralph Klein try to say he is not an alcoholic, he like Premier Ralph Klein only encourages beer drinking and drink beer too often cause this is another Canadian value.. even the related drunk driving.. the too often stingy, unimpassioned of others abusive behavior of alcoholics, plus the permanent brain damage alcohol causes. Alocholics are known to be liars, they often even lie to themselves and others often saying even they are not alcoholics too. You still can tell if they are aloholics by what they do and who their good Friends are.You can still tell who they are for they like to be around other alcoholics, and now also by the amount of alcohol they do like to have or to even have even around them. They also do like to have and to be often around plenty of beer and alcohol. Klein was known to be a regular drinker in a tavern in Calgary when he worked as a reporter before becoming the Premier.. for that is his regular church of prayer..

   “Beamsville, Ont. — One of Paul Martin’s top aides apologized to Canadian parents yesterday after saying on national television that they would buy popcorn and beer with the money the Conservatives are offering for child care. The Conservatives rolled out a child-care plan last week that would give parents of preschool children an annual $1,200 per child to spend as they see fit Scott Reid, Mr. Martin’s communications director, tried to explain on CBC News: Sunday the difference between that approach — which he broke down to $25 a week — and the Liberal plan to establish a national child-care system. “Working families need care,” he said. “They need care that is regulated, safe and secure and that’s what we’re building here. Don’t give people $25 a week to blow on beer and popcorn. Give them child-care spaces that work.”"

   Reid’s apology doesn’t change the Liberal policy on daycare, which fails to respect parents’ choices and trust them to decide what’s best for their kids His comment was not just a “slip of the tongue” but a reflection of a long pattern of Liberal attitude that devalues parents’ choices, Kate Tennier, founder of Advocates for Childcare Choice, said she was appalled by Reid’s comments and said they shows “Paul Martin appears to agree with this rather scary notion of government intrusion into Canadian family life,” she said.” How really scary!” About 13% of the nation’s children receive daycare from government-sanctioned providers, while the other 87% either receive care from a stay-at-home parent, a relative, or an unlicensed daycare provider who are left out by the Liberals.

   How appropriate this would occur while Paul Martin was on a Sunday at a wine factory.. The Liberals aid that the Parent’s can’t be trusted to handle the tax payer’s money and what only the Liberals can? Real Liberal Rubbish. We all do from real experiences too already do know how Liberal cannot be trusted with our taxpayer’s money and that they wrongfully even buy beer, wine, Martinis, alcohol with it too. All of this was, is just more Liberal hypocrisy!

   Not only is any cheating, lying, stealing, tax payer’s money abuses is unacceptable also for any civil, public servant, elected representatives, not even for one of them, and no matter what political party they may support too, it is also always inappropriate, unethical, immoral to use one cent of the taxpayer’s money on booze, alcohol as well at any time and anywhere now too.

   Since we normal persons already tend to know the negative effect of Alcoholism.. Let me be also very clear about it too, I am rightfully against any brain damaged or not alcoholics having any position, job in governments, the civil, public services, rather they should all be fired immediately rather and that includes any Prime Minister, Premier, Member of Parliament or their staff members

   This may be the season for some to be jolly with booze, drugs but keep it all, all out of politics, the governments.

   EDMONTON (CP) - Ralph Klein says he wouldn’t be Alberta’s premier today and he could be dead by now if he’d kept up his heavy drinking. The premier swore off the bottle in 2001 after a night on the town which ended with him swearing at men at a homeless shelter and throwing money at them. But in year-end media interviews this week he acknowledged he continues to have the odd drink. “I probably would have died of liver disease,” Klein said in one such interview with The Canadian Press. “It’s not only unhealthy, but it’s politically unhealthy. Mentally unhealthy.” Klein conceded he has had a few drinks in the last year, but there have been differing accounts of how often and how much. After his encounter at the homeless shelter, Klein admitted that boozing had taken a toll on his ability to carry out his duties as premier. “I do know I have a problem, and I do know I’m going to deal with it,” he said at the time as tears rolled down his cheeks. “I am going to go as long as I possibly can and hopefully end this journey without having another drink . . . one day at a time.” Klein also said then that he had considered resigning. “When you get up and you are feeling rotten and you wonder, ‘Gee, I feel this badly, do I really want to get on and do the work of the day,’ you bring yourself around to do it, but it is a lot better to do it with an absolutely clear head.” Klein admitted he drank the equivalent of a bottle of wine every day.” this is all true? you really believe him??? His decades of alcohol did not cause any brain damage now too? How come also very few other people can give up drinking alcoholic that easy now too? His still often odd behavior, emotional outburst is not associated with his alcohol problem?

   Can you really believe as the truth what most of these too many still too alcoholic politicians say to us these days too??

   News Reporting

   When the CBC was on strike their news reporting on the interent was superb.. now it is a dud in comparison.

   Here is a good example of poor professional reporting, blatant lies, false partiality by CTV though.. “Paul Martin shrugs off White House rebuke CTV.ca - 3 hours ago The White House made an unusual foray into Canadian electoral politics Tuesday, scolding Prime Minister Paul Martin for his tough talk on US policies. But rather than quiet the Liberal leader, the rebuke fuelled his fire. Despite the war of words north of the border, the Wall Street Journal’s John Harwood said the exchange has not received much coverage in the United States…. ”
   Keep us out of it, US tells Martin London Free Press
   Canada, stifle yourself! Toronto Star
   New York Times - Vancouver Sun (subscription) - People’s Daily Online - CJAD - all 125 related »
   That was a good example of the very poor professional News reporting, blatant lies, false political partiality by CTV. For as you can see Google alone list 125 references of Paul Martin’s rebuke, and many of them world wide and in the US. So why is the CTV treats us all as fools now too? Not much coverage? Paul Martin was rebuked world wide by the US and it is being read in China, India, Europe, Australia, South Africa, and the US..

   Next here is another great example of unprofessional reporting for who are we to believe? how in the world are the citizens to know the truth? One news media says Martin’s gun policy is mixed, another one says it is bad, and another one says it is good.. The readers do get confused by all of this, they do really lose respect for the written news, they do stop buying newspapers, they do stop watching, listening to the News as a result and you do all lose revenues.. . What happened to honest, impartial news reporting instead of the spin doctor’s slanderous gossip rags?

   Martin’s gun policy gets mixed reviews CBC News - 7 hours ago Liberal Leader Paul Martin’s call to ban all handguns is getting a mixed review, with many questioning its usefulness in combating crime. Conservative Leader Stephen Harper said his party was prepared to consider …

   Handgun ban may misfire London Free Press

   Martin’s gun ban a bold, good step Toronto Star

   Next here is another great example of unprofessional reporting

   In Canada the citizens, consumers are quite intelligent, not stupid at all, and man of them are computer literate too. Just for a start I like it firstly browse the latest news on http://news.google.ca/ and also http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=index&cid=1845 on amongst many.. I was shocked as to what I have often discovered.. it was like there are two totally different worlds.. The Yahoo news Canada - Canadian Press has made now even lose interest in reading it.. it is distorted, bias, and it wrongfully has biased towards the Liberal..

   For example “Economists leery of Conservative plan to cut GST by two percentage points Thu Dec 1, 2:57 PM ET OTTAWA (CP) - Economists say a cut in the GST might be politically popular among consumers who are hit on every coffee and each doughnut But they don’t like the idea as an economic tool. They’re wary of Stephen Harper’s promise to cut the GST by two percentage points over the next five years. ” is unreal.. why even the PM Paul martin says the prevalent prosperous economy can afford it… and if you tried honestly you would find just as many people who say it is practical as unpractical.. the consumers rather really supported it.. and they are not all economic fools..

   Now that is not the only one.. there are often loads of clear , contradictions between these two news sites… and why???? CP is biased towards the Liberals and wrongfully, unprofessionally

   Now when the news media loses more credibility the people undeniably stop watching the news, stop buying magazines and newspapers..
