I must respond to your post. It is true that the left-wing CBC is “left-wing”, and hopefully they will be forced to stand on their own or fall (hoping for a fall), because I hate any of my tax dollars going to them, but .... on the other hand, how about NPR and PBS in the U.S? They aren’t biased? They aren’t left-wing? So a plague is on both our houses, right? But our “Fox News of the North”, our fledgling Sun News Network, is making headway here — maybe you should change channels..... besides, there are other networks in Canada other than the CBC. In my experience, Canadian television is a mirror-image of U.S. television, same shows, etc., except for local advertising. So don’t paint everyone with the same brush, we are very diverse in our makeup and opinions - and have you noticed we now have a majority CONSERVATIVE government? (We got OUR hope and change, lol!)
We all know the truth of what will happen, and it isn't pretty.
It will be like Moses and the wandering Jews.
The press will not admit what it did, and change will not come until this generation of reporters dies off, including the likes of Jennings (already gone), Brokaw, Rather, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Leslie Stahl, Bill Plante, Bob Shieffer, Harry Smith, Charlie Rose, Barbara Walters, Charles Osgood, and the rest of the elders.
Then we have the next generation to worry about, including Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Chris Matthews, Andrea Mitchell, Ann Compton, David Gregory, Matt Lauer, et. al.
Never mind the newcomers.

I am also just educating American Freepers.
SPOT ON!
See my post #40
and my little granddaughters LOVED the schools...and they got taught actual academic subjects - imagine that.
the whole family still maintais the friendships they made there...
I wouldn’t mind one minute moving to Nova Scotia - the values we USED to have.
This whole thing was a setup from the beginning.
No candidate received Secret Service protection as soon as Barack did, who announced nearly two years before the election.
In fact, my memory recalls Secret Service Protection being extended only to prevailing nominees for each party once they are chosen.
And then we got served a pile of Shiite from the sands of Arizona in the name of Juan McCain.

See my post # 40 and 44
Got a bunch of sour-mouthed twits in here tonight. Makes me understand why so many of the great Freepers left FR
>I wouldn’t mind one minute moving to Nova Scotia - the values we USED to have.<
Are you sure you don’t want to move to vancouver or toronto? (snicker)
Not a bad idea — you’d be very welcome — and J D Fortune came from there too (lots of good-looking Nova Scotians.) That’s where my family settled originally, (”New Scotland”) before moving west to explore the mountains and the prairies. I have traveled extensively in the U.S. and Canada, and everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve been made to feel welcome and “at home”. There are only three states I haven’t yet been to - Hawaii, Alaska and Washington State. But Alaska is high up on my list.
Oh, most certainly.
While we in the U.S. view Canada as a “socialist” country there are many aspects of Canadian Confederation we don’t take into account. If we American’s had to pay a state, i.e. New York, to stay with us and support the Union..............I have no doubt the crap would have hit the fan decades ago. I do realize that what keeps Canada together as a nation is the distribution of tax revenues as opposed to some serious nationalistic heritage. We see their “national” health care system as a single entity while it is clearly not.
We Americans ponder the semi-routine referendums that Alberta and Saskatchewan have regarding Confederation and State-hood and say “whoa, wait..........another state?”
No, I get it entirely. Canada, as we know, is the North American country that is not part of the U.S. and so many within those borders will do anything to not be a part of the American association. The money’s too good to tether themselves to another country which might have other nationa goals or policies. Yeah. I get it..
Well, max - may I call you max? - what you're actually doing is opining.
Opinions are not necessarily facts.
Opinions are like - ah - noses. Every ones got one.
Well, they are facts unless you haven’t been reading my posts.
I have nothing against border bud because he’s just defending canada. I;m cool with it. I make it a point that you made a personal attack with such comments such as sour-mouthed twit’ when I said nothing against you but with border b. YOU should have made the post to ME instead but you took the cowards way out...
But if you choose to put the shoe on - your choice.
have a good one.
Sure, but where were the senior Republicans? All it would have taken is a joint press conference by the House and Senate Republican leadership to blast every one of the styrofoam demigod's deceptions into full public view, no matter how hard the media tried to cover for him. They instead actively tried to discredit Obama's critics, and assured the voters there was "nothing to be afraid of."
The media's most valuable asset is it's credibility, and it's very hard to regain once you have lost it.
I like many others has not read a newspaper in years nor watched the evening news on TV. It's full of distortions and omissions. I can get better information from the Internet including a variety of view points.
head to Nova Scotia..that’s where cowards who got caught lying on forums escape to LOL!
Please review this sentence you wrote.
Self-fulfilling prophecy perhaps?
I lived in Canada for twenty years, and you are correct in general. However, my friends are worried about what the crazy guy in the WH is going to do next.
