OOPS, it's NOT PM Harper, it's Iggy!
Ross Rebagliati's 300-metre skateboard up the highway from Osoyoos yesterday was the closing of a circle for him; the restoration of his good feelings about the Olympics, just as they're about to hit his home turf.
"That was very, very exciting, emotional," Mr. Rebagliati, 38, said after completing his torch run on wheels, as his wife, bundled-up baby and parents tried to keep up on the side of the highway.
But once again the drug controversy he's been unable to shake since shortly after his history-making Olympic medal in Nagano, Japan, re-emerged after his glorious Olympic moment.
Despite the imposition of a code of silence on Mr. Rebagliati by the federal Liberal Party, for whom he plans to run in the next election, the former Olympian spoke openly about his desire to see marijuana legalized.
"Prohibition didn't work; this isn't working," he said after running with the torch, which some have even said resembles a giant joint.
"You look at the numbers; it's not helping by throwing people in jail. I think the thing we can focus on is helping people with addictions, taking a proactive view.
How can we help people rather than throw them in jail?" Mr. Rebagliati was jubilant in his post-skateboard moment, and either forgot about his party's edict that he not speak to the news media, or chose to ignore it.
Yikes! Did all that second hand pot go to his head and stay there? Seriously, this is the guy the Liberals are going to run against Stockwell Day? Are the Liberals that desperate?
Funny how it's a "code of silence" when it's Iggy clamping down on his candidates, if it had been PM Harper, we would still being hearing about the "dictator", blah, blah, blah!
Iggy imposes order, PM Harper shuts his candidates up. Do you see the difference? I see the difference. Guess the media doesn't even see their bias anymore.
By the way, has anyone else noticed that CBC and CTV look identical these days? Is there collusion going on between CBC, CTV, and Global? Look at these screen shots of their sites:
Are they all using the same web designer? Does CTV have to use all that RED??? They all use the same articles, you might as well just pick one, because they offer nothing different. One talking head is the same as the other, one journalist has the exact same views as the other. That is why they are dying, oh, except for CBC which is too precious to Canadians (1 BILLION a year precious) and can't be allowed to die. We might as well just watch CBC as we are paying for it anyways, and let Global and CTV die from lack of viewership. Oh well, what do I care, I only watch Fox News these days, much more informative.
