The new naziism

...that last post says it all...

good journalism never quotes un named sources. Why anyone who is a prominent PC would give an interview to a journalist and say anything derogatory about the premiers wife is beyond me. I wonder if the 'prominent PC' is going to show up at the PC convention the end of March and take credit for their remarks !!!!!

Would this 'prominent PCer' mentioned happen to have been in the government at one time and tangled with Ralph's wife? Maybe some lingering resentment? Will we ever know?

Stay tuned for "As the Cookie Crumbles".

Who knows ? If that in fact did happen it certainly is a pretty gutless way to settle differences by giving an interview and trashing someone's heritage !!

I bet it was Rod Love!

I highly doubt it !! In fact, I don't think anyone said it, it was just a gimic to make headlines !

I havnt read said article but I have read much said about the natives of our country and very little was kind so why should Mrs Klien be set on a pedistal and off limits think of all the things said about other leaders and thier familys . If she cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

Horse the article wasn't about Colleen or natives either. It was supposedly quoting a PC party member who is alleged to have said the following which is not verbatim:

'Colleen is the one responsible for Ralph staying in power, because after he leaves she will be just another Indian'
These comments are what people find offensive. There was no need to make reference to first nations people or Colleen'e metis heritage in the article.

I am sure that she is partially responsible for Ralph staying on as leader, and the main reason is that she is doing some significant charity work ( eg; crystal meth initiative) and it is a given that she can get more done as the wife of the premier than just an ordinary citizen.

Things sometimes have a way of backfiring - even the most calculated risks. The lifeblood of just about any magazine is advertisers, followed closely by subscribers. Push the envelope a little too much and too often and they may just find alternatives.
