Two months off and now it's time to comment
The PM who lies!
Stephen Harper, with great fanfare, passed a few laws last session, one of them a fixed election law. Now the very act of ignoring this law, and I disregard all conservative justification as prevarification and obfuscation, makes the statement the fourth great lie in the trilogy (the last one being, "the cheque's in the mail").

My reason for the two months off:
I was tired, of making comment and of the local conditions, so I joined the "who gives a damn club". Well it appears I do give a damn and accept the challenges of white space on the pages and punditry. 10 days in Europe performing sightseeing and family duties was fun and the greatest thing I did was to take pic of my great-uncle's name on a war memorial - very moving. But back to work there is an election to comment on.
I will now tell you my bias
A sign has gone up on my lawn - an NDP sign. As it has been common knowledge for years I usually do not have to tell anyone what my political opinion is as it has been assumed for years that I am a raving loony socialist. Not quite true but close enough. So I will not be advocating that Jack should be Prime Minister as loudly as people assume I would, but he is my preference to the others.
A waste of time and a slap in the face
The decision of the Cobourg PSB to host a search for the next Chief of Police is a waste of money and slap in the face for the Acting Chief - Paul Sweet. This man has restored both fiscal responsibility and respect for the service. As well as saving money by cutting sick time by boosting morale; this alone surely rates being given the job - ten years too late!

Here is a question: What is the NDP's policy regarding Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act? Does it support Section 13 as it now stands? Does it support an amendment or abolishment of Section 13?
"13. (1) It is a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of persons acting in concert to communicate telephonically or to cause to be so communicated, repeatedly, in whole or in part by means of the facilities of a telecommunication undertaking within the legislative authority of Parliament, any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination."
Why is it up to Ben to explain the NDP's position on this or anything else? He's just a member, not the party leader. You need to call up the party headquarters in Toronto with that kind of question my friend.
