"Check yourself" as in the teenager tough guy comment or "check yourself" as in go back and read comments I typed? Assuming it is to go re read my comments, I don't believe they were condescending. They were my biased thoughts and it opened a great disucssion with a number of posters in favor of both the NDP and UCP. I ignored your 1 liner while you ignored the specific question.

I think that political banter is actually healthy. When remarks turn personal or attack each other it becomes an issue. Sharing my thoughts and understanding why people who are on the other end of the spectrum think the way they do is what I would call an attempt to educate myself to be more balanced in my thinking (even if it doesn't come across that way).
If someone chooses not to work with me because of my political views then it is what it is. I have a number of clients who are strong NDP supporters and always enjoy candid discussions about each party.
And I think that Kenneys mindset around some old school thoughts has changed. Likely not as much as it should but I also believe (or hope) those around him are able to keep him in check if he is crossing the line.
