Unlike some commentators, Warren knows that Prime Minister Harper is quite capable of expressing human warmth. Very classy of you Warren.

I commend all those who can feel for the pain or misfortune of another. It’s part of being human, even on the Hill.

They are all players in the same game, and realize that there are things in life that transcend the petty politics of Ottawa. Of course, we are at a stage in Canada’s democratic experiment that opposite poles can, at times, come together. Moreover, the two parties share the same neoliberal, outward looking vision.

Politics is a dirty game at times, so it is very refreshing to see most of the comments in favour of the PM’s remarks about former Prime Minister Jean Chrétien.

Your blog is always a refreshing mix of commentary WK. Some intelligent, some not but at least your not hen-pecking the hell out of the silly comments and instead allowing your contributors to challenge the twits themselves. A far FAR cry to blogs that nag and don’t welcome criticism when it’s due. That’s why I keep visiting here when I can.
Wonderful that Mr. Chretien’s doing better and that the PM seems to rise to the occasion when he needs to. I believe his sentiments.
