There is also a collective 'we'. We as a nation, we as Canadians. We have made a great fuss about Ignatieff's Canadianness, we made a great fuss about rescuing 'Lebanese', we don't make any effort to help people unless they're 'real' Canadians....we flew empty planes rather than pick-up other people trying to evacuate Libya....in fact 'real' Canadians have become a popular topic lately. Who is, and who isn't a 'Canadian'. We did it with everyone from Khadr to Dion and even to the GG. We don't worry about our international obligations on anything but war anymore....not on climate or pollution or finance....etc We pretended being dumped from the UN didn't matter. Here's an item for you as well. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifameric...

Yes, the big outside world. We have turned in on ourselves, and fear the big outside world.

Yes, we very much have. Other countries have noticed it, even if you haven't. Yes, agoraphobic....afraid of the big outside world.

Yes, we've recently become very parochial, xenophobic, agoraphobic....it's a long way from the global citizens we used to be.

"In the place of an honourable man who was falsely accused of “only visiting” we now have an MP that was elected without ever setting foot in the riding. " You really had to work to change the meaning of that...and you failed.

Ahhh more of that 'rank partisanship' I see.

The straw man is the one you 'brung to the dance'....don't blame me for setting a match to it.

Seeing ANY woman is 'sexually suggestive' to fundies....their age and appearance have nothing to do with it. Same as with rape.

Nobody's sending any 'messages'. That would require Canadians to be one cohesive group, and we're not. It's millions of Canadians making individual votes, not some joint effort.

Actually, that's pretty much all you've posted since your arrival. If all you ever want to hear are good things about Harper, I suggest you join the Blogging Tories

The adjective here is 'rank'.

All religions are anti-women.....the fundie orthodox ones are extreme in this regard.

Many sage observers? No, sorry...that isn't even remotely true. And in any case, one lone blog....however you perceive it.... didn't swing this election. Get real.

Why would a Liberal MP suddenly become 'non-partisan'? And why is it only unclassy when Libs and Dippers are partisan but not when Cons are?

Or you could stop blaming one blog for everything that's wrong in your world.

This man missed his calling. He should follow Elizabeth May's lead and become a member of the clergy.
