(Whether this was always his stance will come out, to his detriment or to his credit, as the events in his office with Wright present will have to be answered).<br />Wallin is making a gigantic mistake, daring us to throw this case to the courts. Okay, (to Duffy and Brazeau too, Harper should say) you spoiled over-privileged brats: we tried to warn you, we tried to work it from the inside, etc. No hearings. No more inside assistance like that. We are letting the RCMP take control and over to the public courts it goes.

Of course many will not agree on the Church's teachings, however, the ordination of women and married priests are not doctrinal in nature. They are practices which could indeed be changed. Will they? Interestingly, there are married priests in the Church already, and I have met several. If an Episcopalian or Anglican Minister is already married, and becomes a Catholic priest, that is fully recognized by the Catholic Church and they are welcomed fully into the priesthood. So certain changes are indeed possible - and in our lifetime.

Canada's first female PM got handed the kitty litter. She lost because of Mulroney and probably anybody would have (in this respect I agree with your hypothesis.) Ernie Eves got thrashed because he was Harris' Finance Minister who tried to rip the people off of their publicly owned Hydro producer. Somebody else might have won but he lost on his own, not because he followed anybody. Martin and Chretien both deserve blame for their party's demise; it would have been the same problem if it'd been the other way around (the coup de grace was when the Liberals elected Dion, then, disappointed, anointed by appointment Ignatieff; it was his illegitimacy that finished them off.) Martin, once he'd secured the office he'd worked years to get, finally did himself in by convening the adscam/gum-ball inquiry; ethically correct but politically fatal.Scotty on Denmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483591719872030628.post-83290663689628909192013-01-20T16:25:19.490-05:002013-01-20T16:25:19.490-05:00Frankly, I thought 'Lincoln' was extremely...Frankly, I thought 'Lincoln' was extremely boring.

For one thing, Trudeau was out of office when he fathered the child, so it had little currency value, so to speak. Secondly, Petraeus was in a major position of power and influence and had made himself - and the CIA vulnerable. Third, it promises to be an ongoing soap opera and the 'distraction' factor would have been huge. Of course, life comes full circle - with Ms. Coyne - and Justin both in the Liberal leadership race against each other. You couldn't make this stuff up!

Americans are much more puritanical than Canadians, so I doubt it. <br /><br />Naturally, Petraeus had to go. Remember when Trudeau fathered a daughter in his dotage with Ms. Coyne? It was a hear-hear-ho-hum moment for Canadians. Very different from the American reaction.

Every business needs to have a crisis plan, no matter how small your operation is. You need to be able to "set up shop" at a remote site, with everything you need. That means carrying a flash drive containing vital info with you at all times, and a print-out (!) of major contacts.

My son Alex Vanier went to school with Brendan. Many, oh so many years ago I followed your media training and it has stayed with me ever since ... even when dealing with family matters, maybe especially so! It was nice to be captured by your blog, and to read about your comments. Ottawa seems very far from here; more important is the Canucks victory over the Predators! Yet finally, when people find out we moved from Ottawa, no longer can it be said "we are ruled by central Canada" and whatever follows after that .... I am very pleased with the results of the federal election, to have a strong and balanced government. It will be an exciting couple of years!<br /><br />Keep well, and best of luck with your sister's health issues.Margaret Rudolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483591719872030628.post-78009110227178006502011-04-09T16:01:14.246-04:002011-04-09T16:01:14.246-04:00Always information, engaging and current.
