Greetings to all our new readers coming to us via Small Dead Animals!
You all know that the CBC Manitoba sneak attack on Winnipeg South Centre Conservative candidate Trevor Kennerd went so far as to find a defender of his right to oppose the Winnipeg School Division "diversity" program in 1999, but then falsely claiming that the man "Gerald Fast, a former Winnipeg broadcaster (who) was fired for making anti-gay comments on the air around the same time".
I worked at CFRW in 1999 hosting the drive-home show and Fast was never fired over any comments.
The timing of this CBC "discovery" couldn't be more suspicious.
Top-rated Corus talk show Richard Cloutier Reports on CJOB had already scheduled a debate between Kennerd and his opponent, Liberal MP Anita Neville, for this very morning.
Then tonight on the CBC News at 6, Coffee with the Candidates featured a softball session by Donna Carreiro with none other than -- Madame Neville.
Carreiro was last seen lobbing softballs at her former CBC colleague Lesley Hughes, including the set-up question that Hughes utilized to insult the Canadian Jewish Congress and the entire Canadian Jewish community as "they're having trouble telling their friends from their enemies", when the outcry about her promotion of anti-Semitic 9-11 theories forced her from the Liberal campaign.
L'affair Hughes has cost Neville dearly in the heavily-Jewish riding, as she was seen shoulder to shoulder with Hughes at the Asper Community Campus speech by Stephane Dion, just hours before Hughes pro-9-11 truther was disclosed on the blogosphere.
Little wonder that Hughes, in an open letter this morning to prospective voters, vowed to "do everything I can to protect a more responsible internet as a free and democratic means of global communication".
Nowhere but the blogosphere will you read of her promise to:
- "advocate for the many Canadians working to establish a national public newspaper, owned by Canadians and free of both government and corporate influence", and
- "strive for an alliance between Canada’s three "left of centre" parties, so that the single "right of centre" party can no longer dominate our political landscape" ...
- "as an independent member of parliament whose values are sympathetic to your issues and to the Liberal and New Democratic parties", and of her
- "personal commitment (is) to a healthy environment via pollution prevention and energy conservation measures endorsed by both Stefane Dion and Elizabeth May."
In other words, she's so independent, why vote for a party on the left, when you can vote for all 3 of them in one candidate!! who only wants to use your taxes to subsidize a left wing newspaper and muzzle the bloggers that exposed her.

Thanks to Winnipeg Police Association president Mike Sutherland for joining us in the studio today, as well as community safety consultant Bob Axford explaining why city councillors should rebuke the proposal to spend $440,000 on 10 crime cameras on bizarre (mostly downtown) locations, when a community-based program could protect up to 1500 households in gang-riddled neighbourhoods for the same money.
Tomorrow Kelly Dehn of CTV brings his weekly CrimeWatch feature; and we'll also be speaking with Conservative leader Hugh McFadyen as the legislative session ends.
