This Week In Politics - April 29 2007

Episode Length: 62 min

This is the third episode of This Week In Politics and it's guaranteed to be the best yet - or your money back. This episode features a change in format as it's not only just a broadcast, but also features a panel as well. This week I'm joined only by fellow Blogging Tory Jordan Alcock , but future panels will feature 3 or 4 people in the discussions.

Featured commentary in this episode includes:

* Dalton McGuinty's FLICK OFF campaign and immigration slush fund scandal
* Motions on Afghanistan and Kyoto
* Conservative communications trouble


On the panel, we discuss:

* What does it mean to support our troops?
* Tory Green Plan
* Inefficient light bulb ban
* Torture allegations & war crime allegations


Later towards the middle and end, we had some problems with audio distortion that weren't audible when we were recording but popped up afterwards. My apologies for this - this was my first time recording an online discussion and I will be better prepared for it in the future.

Charles Adler Debates Elizabeth May On Her Deal With Stephane Dion

Episode Length: 10 min

Shortly after the deal between Stephane Dion and Elizabeth May had been announced, she is interviewed on air by Charles Adler. Adler goes on the offensive for May's affront to democracy in the deal.

It sounds to me as if May didn't bother to prepare for this interview, and Adler rightly calls her on some very questionable statements. This is the weakest I've ever heard the Green Party leader.

Kevin Potvin discusses September 11th Conserpiracy Theories on Wednesday, April 11th, 2007 on CKNW.

Two days after this interview, Kevin Potvin claims an article he wrote 4 years ago in which he describes the destruction of the World Trade Center as "beautiful" was purely "symbolic". When one listens to this interview, it's clear his beliefs are much more than simply symbolic.
