Charles W. Moore, a Nova Scotia based freelance writer and editor, writes in today's Telegraph-Journal, a bird cage liner that is prominent in New Brunswick, that the remedy for all that ails in the halls of power in Ottawa and, by extension Canada, is to give Stephen Harper his majority.
This should give pause to all good Liberals [and those from the Orange and Green parties too].
Charles W. Moore has spoken.
In the Telegraph-Journal.
In his thoughtful article Mr. Moore points out that the Liberals received support in only 77 ridings last year and that 2008's result was their worst in over a century.
Actually, Mr. Moore, if you may recall, back in '84 the John Turner Liberals got smoked badly, 40 seats. 2008 - 1984 = not a century.
Why let facts get in the way of a good argument, eh?
But there is more in this poorly researched piece of Conservative drivel and propaganda. Mr. Moore just makes up stuff as he goes along but comes to the same conclusion at each turn: to save Canada from the quagmire it is in one must vote Conservative.
It's over.
Charles W. Moore has spoken.
Drop the future Pulitzer Prize winner a line and thank him for the advice:

590...Ooooops From The Telegraph-Journal
Re Stephen Harper and the Host.
On Wednesday, July 8, 2009, the Telegraph-Journal published a story about the funeral mass celebrating the life of former Governor-General Romeo LeBlanc that was inaccurate and should not have been published. We pride ourselves in maintaining high standards of journalism and ethical reporting, and regret this was not followed in this case.
The story stated that a senior Roman Catholic priest in New Brunswick had demanded that the Prime Minister's Office explain what happened to the communion wafer which was handed to Prime Minister Harper during the celebration of communion at the funeral mass. The story also said that during the communion celebration, the Prime Minister "slipped the thin wafer that Catholics call 'the host' into his jacket pocket".
There was no credible support for these statements of fact at the time this article was published, nor is the Telegraph-Journal aware of any credible support for these statements now. Our reporters Rob Linke and Adam Huras, who wrote the story reporting on the funeral, did not include these statements in the version of the story that they wrote. In the editing process, these statements were added without the knowledge of the reporters and without any credible support for them.
The Telegraph-Journal sincerely apologizes to the Prime Minister for the harm that this inaccurate story has caused. We also apologize to reporters Rob Linke and Adam Huras and to our readers for our failure to meet our own standards of responsible journalism and accuracy in reporting.

193...Does Jack Layton Pull The Plug, V.2
On Parliament?
On Jack Layton's career as leader of the Dippers?
Chantal Hebert writes in this morning's New Brunswick Telegraph-Journal that there were more waiters than delegates at the NDP's general meeting in Montreal last month.
Jack has been talking breakthrough since he took over the leadership of the perennial also rans in 2003; winning Outremont does not, to moi, strike me as such.
Fish.
Cut bait.
Jack, it is time to, fish or cut bait.
