"BTW,, did you have my earlier post of this same article removed without a trace?"

No.

I had not noticed and if I did, I don't have the power.

When was your's posted?

[GMMAC]

Main forum under current events, etc. & was up for maybe 15 minutes & then yanked without a trace apparently shortly after yours appeared.
It was virtually identical to yours - and I did do a title search prior to posting it - other than a bracketed "Canadian Conservatives act when Liberals would not!" after the original NP title and an "Also see:" linked to the story about the deportation of the Tamil gang leader as my initial comment.
IMHO, pulling it without explanation was rude & arrogantly arbitrary & the lack of any accountability on the part of those with such power on a site supposedly championing same is getting extremely tiresome - to say the least.
