In the boarder scope though I agree; people tend to stay silent when it is their own party. Or try to twist things as being less serious than they are (read: Slava defending PC's) LOL

I have no qualms stating when the Wildrose steps in it. Just read my blog sometime. I've been pretty hard on them.
I've read your blog many times, and I do give you credit for taking issue with some of the things the Wildrose has done from time to time.

I'm not just defending the PCs here actually. I just think it interesting to watch how much people will let slide if it's a party/politician they "like" in the first place doing whatever it is. Case in point:

No, Harper was having ministers skip committee meetings, and they were intentionally withholding information. They were stone-walling every attempt to find out what was necessary when questions were asked. That's not the case here. The information is there, she just didn't do a media availability (or did for a few minutes).

Honestly, that federal fiasco was far more egregious than what this situation is. Take the partisanship out of the picture and you can see that clear as day.
