The Globe And Mail - McGuinty
1 of 9
The Globe's endorsement frames McGuinty as the moderate and experienced choice in tough economic times. While it praises Hudak's "basically sound political and economic principles," it faults him for spending the campaign criticizing McGuinty rather than outlining his vision for Ontario's future. The editorial completely discounts the NDP, arguing their "dangerously flawed" ideas could seriously damage Ontario's economy if the party is given a chance to influence policy either in government or within a minority.

Ontario Election Debate Hub: Is McGuinty Starting to Sweat?

Jason Lietaer (PC): You know it's unpredictable when leaders start making things up. This week, Mr. McGuinty launched a new jobs plan that's not in his platform, announced a negotiating position for the OMA talks and cancelled a powerplant that looks more like a powerplant than a field.

Ontario Election Debate Hub: Hey Ontario, Where's the Rage?

John Duffy (Liberal): It just doesn't feel like the anger is there this time. This is not to suggest that there aren't a lot of disappointed Ontarians, but there isn't enough fury directed at the Liberals to produce the kind of epic sacking that seemed in store for them.

Ontario Election Debate Hub: Hudak's 'Homophobic' Flyer: Intolerant or Informative?

Jason Lietaer (PC): There will always be some kind of allegation of hate or intolerance thrown by the grits. This time, it's homophobia. And it's nonsense. McGuinty's making sure that parents don't have any say in what kids are taught at school about these topics. We stand on the side of parents.

Has anyone contrasted comments on Canadian politics and American politics? Canadian comments on Canadian stories are more indepth. There are fewer of them and the comments for the most part come from intelligent people. That's why I like reading them and responding. I can see why some networkers get their badges. They make a lot of cheap remarks and have a following of people like themselves. Now that isn't all of the networkers but keep track of them by recording friends and followers. The higher the numbers the dumber their remarks.

Very true. I have recently returned from the US and still keep up with the political scene there. One has to have a strong stomach to read quite a number of the comments.
But, that said, we have a couple of doozies on the Canadian side too.

One of the most disturbing things I have seen in this election and in other elections is Newspapers giving there corporate endorsement to any candidate. We the public like to imagine that our newspapers and reporters are there for one purpose. To report the news in as much of a unbiased manner as is possible.

That being said I am not foolish enough to think that there is no opinion. Any human being has an opinion. But it is the job of those who claim to be journalist's that they report the news (facts) in as much of a neutral manner as possible.

When this journalist neutrality is breached it lowers the public's ability to view the media as trustworthy to report the news and instead the media becomes nothing more than another arm of the big blue machine, or the liberal backroom boys or whatever the NDP gang is referred to.
