Andy Scott plays the role of the pot calling the kettle black
Frankly I think the 10 percenters are almost always not so cleverly disguised political party advertising and should be called what they are. If it’s not riding specific issues and what the MP is doing about it, than it’s political advertising and let the political party pay for it…not taxpayers.
What I got a kick out of was Fredericton Liberal MP Andy Scott feigning outrage over the issue. That guy is the master of sending out political spin jobs via taxpayer funded mail yet nary a mention of that in the media stories.
By the way, with a number of blogs calling it quits, it’s always nice to mention some new ones. The Blue Collar Manifesto looks like it will be an interesting read and CBC’s Jacques Poitras is back blogging the Tory leadership race. Since his foray into blogging during the 2006 New Brunswick election, CBC seems to have come up with some type of consistent policy involving commenting which yours truly pushed for. Given the free for all the CBC comments section has become (and CanadaEast too) I may have been in error. Some moderation might not be a bad thing. Regardless, Poitras remains the only journalist in New Brunswick I know who’s blogging, so best of luck.
Finally some big news coming on the New Brunswick blogging scene soon so stay tuned.
