Mulcair too loud on Alberta, too quiet on Quebec riots

[Machjo]

Mulcair being another freeloader from Quebec what do you expect?

So non-Quebec freeloaders are OK?

 

[CDNBear]

No, it's just nonsense.

Your post absolutely was.

Good of you to admit that.

It's attack season and the Cons are dipping in the polls.

So the question was to hard? Or the answer to uncomfortable?

I believe that I can be of assistance here and provide clarity on the issue... What Flossy really meant to say was "It's attack season and the Dippers are conning the pollsters"

It would be nice if the Libs could profit at the Cons expense as well, but beggars can't be choosers.

Just what's missing from your life Adrian, that you place that much power in that lil button?

Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the fact that you're infatuated with me and all.

Rex Murphy - patisian shill for the right, posing as a populist, supported by Canada's most right wing rag the 'National' Post.

He's exceedingly clever in directing, controlling, subverting call in comments and the ensuing commentary, or lack of, on his Radio Canada program. Yet he's strongly supported by "The voice of Canadians" (lol) CBC Radio. One wonders why. Or should we? Teh CBC is an arm of the gov't. I remember their coverage of the G20 protests well, they emphasized the unruliness, the unlawfullness of the protest. The Voice of Canadians? Maybe not, perhaps it is more the voice of the gov't.

Sorry Rex, Mulcair can't be everything to everyone all the time. So what if he's been quiet on Quebec, you right wind shills in corporate media have already done a good job spinning and lieing about the Quebec student protest. Why are you silent on the truth of this matter? Why the spin and lies Rex? It is not about tuition costs, it is about social inequity. I found an article in the Huffington Post quite interesting, for example in Quebec there is only one tax rate for those earning about $85K. The article also highlighted the widespread cronyism and culture of corruption between political and economic elites in Quebec.

But you won't hear a right wing shill like Rex Murphy talking about that.

"If you don't read the papers you are uninformed, if you read the papers you are misinformed."

Dude you gotta be a longgg way out past left field if you think Rex is a shill for the right.

So non-Quebec freeloaders are OK?

NOPE. But Quebec has a disproportionately high percentage of them,

Ya really. I'm not surprised at your skepticism, be it that we are innundated with the idea that the CBC is populist and the "voice of Canadians." But we forget that CBC employees are gov't employees. Given today's coercive high tax little service environment it is perhaps difficult to say that gov't govern on behalf of Canadians, but perhaps work for elite interests.

Anyways did you know that Rex is also an employee of The National Post?
Here's a lsiting of his articles: Rex Murphy | National Post

Those are some solid right wing credentials.

As for my political views I'm hardly left wing, but we'll see if Mulcair makes the NDP populist or keeps the NDP beholden to Unionistas.

Murphy is exceedingly clever at obscuring his right wing views. Just listen to his program on CBC Radio “Cross-Country Checkup.” It's surprising how often he features guest from The Fraser Institue or The Conference Board of Canada. Check out the National Post's website, Murphy is a prominent contributer there. But realyl it's how he cleverly directs or mis-directs the flow of conversation on “Cross-Country Checkup” away from supporting left wing viewpoints, gently ushered toward those supporting right wing viewpoints. Once you start listening to his call in program from this perspective, you'll see the pattern and understand what I mean.

I Googled "Rex Murphy is right wing" and here's what I came up with:

What's always been perplexing about the CBC is how unpublic it basically is: the way it mimics the private, for-profit nets in much of what it does. Its stable of right-wing ideologues, for instance -- Rex Murphy, Kevin O'Leary, Don Cherry -- with zero counterbalancing figures.

Here's a good article that summates some criticism of Rex "Curmudgeon" Murphy:
Rex Murphy | Sherwin Arnott

An exerpt:
My challenges with Rex Murphy: #9 he has been, by and large, a Barack Obama detractor and an admirer of Sarah Palin.

But there she is, in all her roughness and candour, and her spiky wit and ability to irritate her self-nominated betters. She also happens to be the most naturally charismatic politician at the moment in the United States. She is the one major figure who can claim authenticity without morally choking on the word. That makes her the populist rallying point of a nascent rejection of the fervid partisanship and Washington insiderism that is eroding the consent on which American politics is founded

See “When crisis strikes the world, Obama falls silent” and “Mid-terms touch on American despair.”

lol @ supporting Palin!

Anyways, I haven't proved anything but I hope you look at Murphy in a more critical light.
