Enter Mr. Broadbent

To be quite honest, being perfectly "Objective" is to have no opinion. Read THIS, and if the link doesnt't work, for whatver reason, go to globeandmail.ca, and read it on the site.

To paraphrase, the following contains this hilarity: "The Liberals have shown no intention of dismantling the social programs Canadians enjoy." Whatever. Enjoy! Happy reading!

(Oh yeah, and Broadbent's only 2 years older than Martin, after 14 years out of politics, who "Wants to govern until 75.) Heh.

More Liberal bias in the media:

Editorial:

The Globe and Mail, Saturday, December 20, 2003 - Page A28
Enter Mr. Broadbent

After much coaxing, and after insisting in October that it was "an extremely remote possibility" that he would re-enter politics, Ed Broadbent has re-entered politics. If he wins the NDP nomination in Ottawa Centre (probable) and wins the seat in the next election (possible), he will join new NDP Leader Jack Layton (assuming Mr. Layton can win a seat of his own) in the House of Commons......

Enter Mr. Broadbent

    Personally, my \"jury\" is still out on Jack Layton, but I would take an Ed Broadbent over a Paul Martin or Stephen Harper ANY day !!

    Ed Broadbent still has a few miles on him yet, don\'t count him out. He was pretty powerful in the interview I watched on CPAC.

    Again we see the right-wing thinking in the media. How are we to ever get the word out if these guys and girls keep spouting off articles like this ??

    I know the Star is middle-road wishy-washy, but I think they have a few of the best reporters at this time. Carol Goar is a thorn in Martin\'s side, and keep up the good work !!

    Don\'t take your eyes off him, or we\'ll get another corporate tax cut.

    1. I just wish carol Goar would go even further, and be harsher. And the Star also has the annoying Richard Gwyn.

    2. We\'ll get another corporate tax cut anyway.

    Question ofr Susan:

    I posted this article, and I was wondering if I could have enabled the hyperlink to the Globe website, as I see you\'ve done, or do you do that? I ask this because on previous forums I\'ve used, there\'s been a feature that allows the poster to do this....just wondering.

    If you post the article in HTML format (ie include <a href=\"URL\">name</a>, and other tags like <p> and <br>) then it will show up as a hyperlink when I post it. Otherwise I can choose to do all the formatting so it shows up as a hyperlink, which I often do (as in this case) but which is a lot of extra work for me.

    More questions email me at beezoo@telusplanet.net (vive email is still on the blink, until we switch to the new server in a couple of days or weeks).

    To be clear, I can\'t HTML format or alter comments in any way, just articles. All I can do to comments is delete them.

    One thing--including long URLS like these screws up the page size. It\'s better to use the name of the article or something short like that for the part that\'s displayed (eg use <a href=\"verylongURLfullofnumbersandstuff\">short name of article</a> NOT <a href=\"verylongURLfullofnumbersandstuff\">verylongURLfullofnumbersandstuff</a> )

    Or he/she could\'ve hit the space bar and started another line....?

    I (sometimes) simply copy the article to my own webpage, then post my address which is a lot easier to type in than copying and pasting a 3-line webpage address.

    Works for me.
