How did you make it from TVO's set at the U of T to CBC's studio in time? Or am I a fool for thinking that it was all live?
THANK YOU! For pointing out what should be obvious to the rest of the media...there was no slur against Bains or his father in law. The "slur", had it ever escaped his mouth, was against the Liberal party.
And why exactly is Harper's line of questioning shaky? If a Conservative had a family member who stood to benefit from the passage of a bill that the Conservatives supported the Liberals would scream bloody murder (as would the media, if there is indeed a difference between them anymore). No one has a rational explanation for why Dion is pursuing his course of action; why is it unreasonable to ask if this is it?
"The Vancouver Sun has learned that Bains's father-in-law, Darshan Singh Saini..."
"Saini, former Ontario spokesman for the terrorist Babbar Khalsa Panthak..."
"Saini was a controversial figure in the 1980s. He helped a young man named Harkirat Singh Bagga by giving him a place to stay for several weeks in 1988. Bagga left Saini's Ontario home that summer, travelled to B.C. and critically wounded newspaper publisher Tara Singh Hayer in the first attempt on Hayer's life. Hayer, who had offered to be a witness in the Air India case, was assassinated a decade later."
Presuming the article is accurate, I can see why the Liberals don't want it read in the house. Shame that Mr. Bains married into a family with such shady connections.

I was very impressed with the number of Western panel members on tonight's program.
It cuts off in the middle of Hébert talking about JT. What's AC's opinion on this crucial question?
And, in reply to Anonymous, it's nice to see an Atlantic Canadian on from time to time.
East and West, unite against the Upper Canadians!
Isn't Andrew a Westerner from Manitoba posing as a Toronto sophisticate? ;-)
Yet another test...
Global Warming??
Recent research by Henrik Svensmark and his group at the Danish National
Space Center points to the real cause of the recent warming trend. In a
series of experiments on the formation of clouds, these scientists have
shown that fluctuations in the Sun's output cause the observed changes in the
Earth's temperature.
In the past, scientists believed the fluctuations in the Sun's output were
too small to cause the observed amount of temperature change, hence the need
to look for other causes like carbon dioxide. However, these new
experiments show that fluctuations in the Sun's output are in fact large
enough, so there is no longer a need to resort to carbon dioxide as the
cause of the recent warming trend.
The discovery of the real cause of the recent increase in the Earth's
temperature is indeed a convenient truth. It means humans are not to blame
for the increase. It also means there is absolutely nothing we can, much
less do, to correct the situation.
