- If I were Cotler I would be talking to my lawyer right now about launching a libel suit against Harper, Vic Toews, the Con Party or whomever it is that is responsible

Once again Frances Russell has written a very good political commentary, informative, objective and to the point.
The attack on Colvin's credibility is, of course, outrageous. So, is the 10%-er slandering Irwin Cotler, Ignatieff and the Liberal Party. The biggest shocker is that these things are being done by the same people who are running our country. This not some two-bit group of misfits operating on the fringe of our society, not now since they got into power anyway.
If I were Cotler I would be talking to my lawyer right now about launching a libel suit against Harper, Vic Toews, the Con Party or whomever it is that is responsible, presumably these 10%-ers are not covered by Parliamentary privilege.
Harper and the Con's have developed the biggest propaganda machine seen in Western democracies in
recent history that they have no hesitation in using no matter how reprehensible and morally and
secularly dishonest, approaching Canadians on an emotional level, with a total disregard for the truth.
Harper and the Con's are only concerned with grabbing onto power and maintaining it, at any cost, and Canada be damned.
The Harper, and the Con’s generally, style politics is of distortion, cover-up, duplicity, deception, obscuration and obfuscation, suppression of truth and, slandering, mud slinging and character assassination in lieu of serious and sober response to important issues. Their attitude to Science and Scientific research are in the dank ages and Crime reminiscent of the irrationality surrounding witch-hunts and the Inquisition.
Also, one can only wonder to what extent, given the huge amounts of tax payers money, as well as Con Party money, Harper spends on media - central to the smooth running of their propaganda machine, the Harper and Con largess is tied to media that publish pro-Con materials.
With a Press that is willing to write articles in an open, informative, objective manner such as this one, all Canadians will see Harper and his Con's for what they really are.
