UPDATED: We're from the Conservative campaign, and we're here to interrupt your holiday weekend with a very important message

I don’t know about last minute stuff, but in Calgary there are a variety of party signs up. I think the Conservatives tend to put up a few big signs but not to paper the area. (Maybe they have all been sent to campaign elsewhere.)

Near Cochrane, which was part of Myron Thompson’s constituency, there are many Green signs, quite a few NDP and Liberal, and a few large Conservative ones.

Kady

The point of my posts, challenging Kady to post a single positive article or mention of Mr. Harper is to highlight, although she claims otherwise, she is a biased liberal reporter.

Kady should begin ALL her posts with the disclaimer that she is a liberal supporter, otherwise some people may think she is an “unbiased” reporter. Kinda like Susan Murry of CBC fame, when she continually wrote “negative articles” about Mr. Harper during the 2006 campaign and then as soon as it was over, quit being a “reporter” and went to work for Liberal MP Scot Brison. She was a Liberal, pretending to be “unbiased” reporter.

Kady, I dare, double dare you, to post one link to a positive article or blog post that YOU made about Mr. Harper or the Conservatives during this election cycle.

Come on Kady, if you are unbiased, it shouldn’t be that hard, you probably written tens of thousands of words, surely there must be one positive comment about Mr. Harper??

P.S. stalling for time is not a good tactic, we all see through it….kinda like a politician repeating the question as he stalls to think of a good answer :)

tick…….tock….tick….tock….tick…..tock

I am just askin for one positive post/blog about the Cons or Harper.

Is that really to much to ask an “unbiased” reporter for??

Go start your own blog Lamb Chop/Charley horse.

bob (locked) ward -

I’m feverishly working on an application that will allow the sending of letter bombs by blog posting. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Bob – This is probably the only answer you’re going to get from me, since I don’t think you really want one at all, but here’s the thing: I don’t think the Conservatives have run a very good campaign at all – and the Little Shop has been an unmitigated – and ludicrously overhyped in the leadup to the election – disaster. Since I’ve been covering the election from Ottawa, and haven’t gone out on the road, that has shaped my analysis, admittedly – it’s possible that the touring company was far more competent – but honestly, I’m thinking back, and there isn’t one thing that has come from the Lancaster Road bunker that merits praise, grudging or otherwise, as far as strategy. Well, with one exception: as I noted at the time, and will repeat here, I thought DionBook – well, most of it – was witty, intelligent and – most amazing of all – demonstrated a sense of humour that was as self-deprecating as it was pointedly partisan — and I was actually a little sorry to see it go. They should have put whoever put that together in charge of writing the rest of their material.

Again…any…one…positive post about the Cons policy or Harper?

EI for child care – is that good?
2K to encourage people to go into trades that have a shortage of skilled workers – is that good?

No tax for single income families for child care allowance – is that good?

I could go on, but its time for thanksgivin with family.

So sad to see a “journalist” could not post one positive comment about Con Party or Harper (was not askin for your impression of the war room).

I’ll be gone after the election, the purpose of my post was to point out your bias thats all

For the record, I like your style, humour and wit, just wish it was balanced against all parties, but that is your right.

Kady, if you’re going to insist that seven people chanting on a sidewalk in Vaghan is one of the four most important/interesting stories of the day before the federal election, we are certainly going to continue to disagree.

On SW’s point, obviously I’m not asking Kady to post only content I approve of, and I appreciate that we have fairly free reign in the comments. It would be interesting to see Macleans add a version of “Comment is Free” by the Guardian UK – where other bloggers and some of the more competent commenters are given space alongside the paper’s own writers. I’ve seen a few contributors on all sides that I’d like to see hoisted from comments from time to time.

I am askin KADY no one else (she can look after herself just fine).

Provide a link to ONE positive story/blog you made about the CONS policy or the leader Harper.

I live in Ottawa, I watch CPAC and have seen all the pressers by all of the leaders I did’nt have to go out on the road to make a positive comment…Kady has seen all the pressers too

Again, Kady point to one positive story/blog you have reported on the Cons/Harper – not just an analysis/comments about their “war room”. Every parties war room are partisan in nature and should not be what is judged the “leader” is what should be judged and the parties policies.

That is what a “reporter” should cover…..unless you want to be grouped in with Jane Taber and comment on the colour of shoes a leader wears???

To prove it is possible to agree with ONE thing I like about the Liberal Policy is this:

The liberals proposed a five year renewable visitors visa so families do not have to go through the same bureaucratic and expense of applying to have their mother-in-law come for a visit each time.

that is a good immigration policy.

over to you Kady….just one thing??

I don’t have details but I’m told there’s some toxic Lib/Con stuff going on in the great Republic of Madawaska including threats of defamation suits and exchanges of personal insults,etc. CBC NB calls it “colourful”.
In NB that means anything short of gunfire.

Olaf – no man is an island. Bob’s death would diminish you (not as much as that comment, but still).

You got the civility scolding, Olaf. I hope the sting of that finger-wagging was cuisante
