Because it was a sympathetic report.<BR/>I'm thinking of her questions like "Did you think your actions were apropriate given that we are at war?"<BR/>I haven't seen enough of her to judge.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811694143714068436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-75388452345960902622009-02-10T21:49:00.000-08:002009-02-10T21:49:00.000-08:00Having seen the CBC report last night, Alison's po...Having seen the CBC report last night, Alison's post is spot on.<BR/><BR/>Couldn't find it at the CBC website, though, Anonymous . . . .West End Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899808253017644309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-29463093589566200492009-02-10T18:20:00.000-08:002009-02-10T18:20:00.000-08:00Your post is now up at the CBC, giving us the rare...Your post is now up at the CBC, giving us the rare privilege of seeing the word 'fuck' on CBC. <BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17909993.post-59642468444474203192009-02-10T16:35:00.000-08:002009-02-10T16:35:00.000-08:00Well said.

I also watched the CBC television report about Erik Millett and reacted much the same way as you.<BR/><BR/>A question apparently way outside the scope of the CBC's mandate: Why should the "pledge of allegiance" mother be granted such an aura of privilege in this debate about symbols of national pride? She says its because she has a nephew who was killed in Afghanistan, "fighting for our freedom".<BR/><BR/>The CBC didn't even think of challenging that one! They probably were pleased as punch that they managed to get someone other than Don Cherry or the latest minister of Veterans Affairs to mouth such nonsense on their behalf.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
