Disappointing curling game yesterday. I was pulling for Jan Betker to win, but she got off to such a bad start, it was going to be next to impossible to come back. She almost did, but it was too little, too late.
When will Navdeep Bains actually address the issues in the Kim Bolan story instead of crying foul that his feelings are hurt? He's a nice man, but come on. It's public life.
Craig Oliver and Jane Taber's hosting on CTV Question Period yesterday can be filed under the "low-lights" section of Canadian current affairs TV history. If you want to see it, go to www.ctv.ca yourself, I don't want to link to it. No insightful or tough questions to either Bains or Stéphane Dion. Jane looked like she wanted to lean into the camera and give Bains a big hug. As for Craig, why is it that he and every other journalist cannot challenge a liberal when they start railing about Harper's attempts to load the judiciary with " right-wing ideologues" who have an "agenda" and that are "biased"? Am I right that in their world anyone who wants tough sentences for rapists and believes in the Constitution as written is an "ideologue" but Rosalie Abella, Morris Fish and Louise Arbour are "neutral" and "mainstream?" It's beyond comprehension.
Also, why is it that when I feel like I did well on an exam, I do poorly, and when I feel like I bombed, I do OK? Does this happen to anyone else?
UPDATE, (Tuesday am): MUST READ Jonathan Kay.
