I looked at Hansard for this last week, I was curious about how many questions the Liberals asked about Elections Canada and "ethics". The Liberals, as the official opposition, are allowed to ask 20 questions per Question Period, so that comes to 100 a week. How many questions did they ask on Health Care this week? None, Zip, Nada, Zero.
How many questions did they ask on Elections Canada? 40! Yes, that's 40% of their questions on one matter, that frankly, nobody but us political junkies care about. Add to that the 13 questions asked on Cadman, and we now have 53% of questions asked in an attempt to smear the Conservatives. Add another 18 on Afghanistan and foreign affairs, and we are up to 71% of questions the Liberals asked this week in Parliament were smear attempts.
Here's a clip of Deepak dishing it out to Liberal MP Murphy, who is calling for "heads to roll".
Great job Deepak, hit them hard, hit them often!
How about that all important issue, the environment? The issue that Dion is going to spent the summer talking about? How many question did they ask on that? Eight, or 8% and most were trying to smear Baird, so add those to our total and we have 79% of questions asked in the attempt to smear the Conservatives. The Liberals are lost, they have no plan, no vision, no leadership, and no policies, that leaves them with smear.
Liberal record for this week, 80% mud slinging, 20% valid questions.
The NDP for the most part stayed away from mud slinging and asked questions about issues like gas prices. That is a smart move on their part, just like their position on the Cadman affair. Voters will notice. The Bloq followed the Liberals lead.
So, the two parties suffering the most in Quebec choose smear, and not substance. How's that working for you? The mud is not sticking, deal with it lefties!
The Liberals, all about smears.

I want Bernard Lord to run in Moncton for the CPC in the next federal election and send Mssr. Murphy back to the bait stand he came from. Oh to dream.
Also, just fyi, you might want to try Freez Screen capture instead of the program you're using. It's better, imo, and doesn't have the graphics for evaluation copy all over it.

Thanks Reid, I have been trying various programs (I was just about to purchase the one I'm using, so you may have saved me some money!) I will download that one and mess around with it tomorrow.
Bernard Lord would be great as an MP.
Funny how the Liberal dream team is trumpeted in the media, and nothing is said about OUR dream team.
I think that Bernard Lord would be a great candidate also.
I always wonder if giggles would call him a star candidate though?
Hunter:
If you are open to buying a program I have one even better. I just assumed you were looking for freeware. WMRecorder allows you to actually record directly from the media stream as opposed to trying to screen capture. You get a much better quality file without the lag between video and audio. Try the demo. If you need some help figuring out the program just drop me a message and I'll be more than willing to help.

Basically, once you've installed the program and it's running, you just go to CTV or ParlVu or where ever and watch the video as you normally would, and the program will record the stream. You just need to check the settings to find where it saves the file. It's kind of burried in the program files folder, but you can change it. And if you're running Vista you have to adjust the program priviliges.
But stream capture is the way to go if you're willing to pay for a program.
Thanks Reid, now I have two programs to try. Recording live from CPAC or CTV could be very interesting, not sure about copyright issues though.
It's no different than what you're doing. And it's not just live broadcasting. But any streaming. For example on ParlVu you can watch HoC proceeding from previous days. You can record those streams as well. Just play it as you normally would and the WMRecorder records it. I think you use the screen cap to record previous days proceedings no? This is the same, just better quality recordings.
Personnally, I like to use my Hard Drive recorder on the tv, make a dvd of my recording, then use the computer to convert it to a high quality .avi file. If you look at the Newsnet file on my most recent blog post, that's how I produced that. That's the best way to get high quality video.
Funny how you complain. Yours is a government of smear - smearing any and all who disagree with you, and smearing those who somehow embarrass the gov't for doing their jobs (Keen).
You got elected by smear (sponsorship, trust leak, entitlements, etc...) and continue to use it as your most frequent line of defense.
Some of you ministers (Van Loan, Baird) and many of your mouthpieces (the disgusting and laughable Mrs. Baird - er Pierre Poilievre) seem to engage in smear andnothing else.
That you don't like others doing it is hilarious.
