Controversial?
Please send me a FReepmail to get on or off this Canada ping list.
Lara Logan of CBS News should be shown the door for praising the Taliban's "successes" in recent months.
Wish we had that regulation on this side of the border. /sarc

It's only controversial if the "opinion" is coming from the "right".
The left leaning news media have been writing opinion as news since forever.
She will not win any media journalism awards expressing opinons like she did. Unless of course she takes the opposite tack, curses the military. threatens to murder government officials, and praises cowards, cheats and ne'er do=wells-of the head in the sand party praising the mullahs and camel breath jihadiis. Now we have a winner!
Sounds like Ms. St Pierre had some eye opening experiences and decided she was on the wrong side. She may not have work, but she'll sure sleep better at night.
I gather that proper procedure as described in the CBC reporter's manual (like the BBC one) calls for weaving your opinions into the "facts" of a story, omitting critical details and making up othersso as to mimic objectivity while telling bald-faced lies for the cause of socialism and cynicism.
Do you think she'd like a job in the U.S.?
"...Radio-Canada reporter Christine St. Pierre stood to ask a question on behalf of the Canadian press corps and instead said "Happy Birthday, Mr. President.""
And now supporting Canadian soldiers!!!!!!!
Rules violation here on this reporter?
Can we export some more to them?
She must have missed the fine print in her contract when she was hired. You know, the line that reads: "Be it known that if the subject employee ever undertakes to make any statement, whether orally or in writing, that can in any manner whatsoever be construed by management to be in support of conservative opinion or values, or in any manner whatsoever supports any political, national, or internatonal situation that would be construed as conservative by the management of this organization, then said employee will be severely reprimanded, including suspension or loss of employment."
Killing terrorists must be considered bad by a critical mass of Canadians.
If you want to see the effectiveness of Canadian troops, link to my favorite Canadian blog and scroll down to "Smokin' Taleban".
There is a simply outstanding YouTube video in which you seer various jihadi despatched in chunks to their various virgins. In at least one case, there appears to be a piece for each and every of the 72!

I'm increasingly troubled by the number of Canadians who hate their country.
I have a new hero, and her name is Mme. Christine St-Pierre.
How dare she support the troops! Doesn't she know that the loyalties of her trade lie in Mecca?
How in the heck is supporting one's country "controversial?!??!?!"
